DATA HANDLING PRACTICES

Six Ways We Protect and Respect Your Data

From the moment you open an account to the point you request deletion, we apply consistent data handling practices.

Data We Collect

We collect your name, email, mobile number, and payment method identifiers when you open an account. Device and session data is collected automatically to detect fraud and keep your account secure against unauthorised access.

Cookies and Tracking

We use session cookies to keep you logged in and analytics cookies to understand how pages are used. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser at any time; disabling analytics cookies does not affect account functionality.

Account Security

Passwords are stored as salted hashes — we never store them in plain text. Two-step verification is available on your account settings page, and we notify you by email whenever a new device is used to sign in.

Data Retention

Account data is retained for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable law. Transaction records linked to UPI, Paytm, or PhonePe payments are kept for the minimum period mandated by financial regulations in your jurisdiction.

Your Right to Access

You may request a copy of all personal data we hold on you at any time. We will provide it in a machine-readable format within 30 days of verifying your identity through the email address registered to your account.

Requesting Deletion

You may ask us to delete your account and associated personal data. We will action the request within 30 days. Some data may be retained for the minimum period required by law even after deletion of your active account record.

Your Privacy Questions Answered

The questions below cover the data rights and privacy practices we hear about most from account holders in India. If your question is not listed here, contact our privacy team directly through any of the channels in the support section above.

We collect your name, email address, mobile number, and the identifiers linked to your chosen payment method — UPI handle, Paytm number, or PhonePe reference. We also log device type and IP address for fraud prevention and account security purposes.

We do not sell your data. We share it only with payment processors like UPI networks, Paytm, and PhonePe to complete transactions, and with fraud-detection services bound by confidentiality agreements. No data is passed to advertisers without your explicit consent.

After account closure, we retain data for the minimum period required by applicable financial and legal regulations in your region. Once that period expires, your personal data is deleted from our active systems and removed from backup cycles on schedule.

Yes. Submit a data access request through the in-account Help Centre or by emailing our privacy team. We will verify your identity against your registered email and deliver a machine-readable copy of your data within 30 days of the request.

Contact our privacy team via live chat or email and ask for an account and data deletion. We process deletion requests within 30 days. Data required by law — such as transaction records under financial regulations — may be retained for the legally mandated period only.

We store only the identifiers needed to process and reconcile your transactions — your UPI handle or Paytm-linked number, not full bank credentials. Full payment authentication is handled end-to-end by the respective payment processor, not by our servers.

Log into your account and navigate to the profile section to update most fields directly. For identity-verified fields such as your name or ID document, raise a correction request through the Help Centre and our team will process it within five business days.
