DATA HANDLING PRACTICES

Six Ways We Protect and Manage Your Data

Privacy is not a checkbox for us — it shapes how we build account flows, payment integrations, and support processes.

Encrypted Storage

All account and payment data — including your UPI handle and linked mobile numbers — is encrypted at rest using AES-256. Backups follow the same standard. No plaintext personal records are stored on any server we operate.

Cookie Controls

We use session cookies to keep you logged in and analytics cookies to understand how pages are used. You can manage or refuse non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or your browser settings at any time without affecting core account functions.

Payment Data Isolation

Your Paytm or PhonePe transaction identifiers are stored in an isolated payment ledger that is not accessible to marketing or product teams. Only the finance and compliance functions can query it, and only for the purpose of resolving disputes.

Account Security Alerts

When a login occurs from a new device or location, we send an alert to your registered contact. If you did not initiate the login, you can lock your account immediately from the alert link without needing to call support.

Data Retention Schedule

Active account data is kept while your account is open. After account closure, we retain the minimum data required by applicable rules and delete everything else within 90 days. You can request early deletion where regulations allow.

Change and Access Requests

You have the right to request a copy of all data we hold, correct inaccurate records, or ask for deletion. Submit requests via live chat, email, or the Account Settings panel; we confirm outcomes within 10 business days.
