Children’s Data
The Services are not intended for use by children. Under the DPDP Act, a child is an individual under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children without verifiable consent of a parent or lawful guardian. If you believe a child has provided Personal Data to us, please contact us to request deletion.
Cross-Border Transfers
We may process and store Personal Data in India and/or other jurisdictions where our or our service providers’ systems are located. Where cross-border transfers occur, we implement appropriate safeguards consistent with the DPDP Act and applicable guidance. By using the Services, you understand that your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in such locations.
Data Retention
We retain Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to provide the Services, and as required by law (e.g., tax, audit, and compliance). Criteria used to determine retention periods include the nature of the data, the context of processing, legal requirements, and whether an account is active. Offline/temporary queues (e.g., local IndexedDB for reliability) are processed and cleared periodically.
Security Measures
- Encryption in transit, access controls, and defense-in-depth practices to protect data from unauthorized access.
- Role-based access and auditability within the application.
- Vendor due diligence and contractual safeguards with service providers.
- Continuous monitoring and incident response procedures. While no system is 100% secure, we work to mitigate risks promptly.

You have the following rights, subject to applicable law:
- Access and portability: receive a summary of your Personal Data that we process.
- Correction and updating: request correction, completion, or updating of inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data.

Consent Management & Withdrawal
Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal. Certain core, strictly necessary cookies and processing required to provide the Services may continue where permitted by law. You can also manage browser settings to control cookies.
Automated Decision-Making
We do not use solely automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you without appropriate human oversight.
Updates to this Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect changes to our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will post the updated Policy with a new effective date and, where required, provide notice or request consent to material changes.
