We do not sell or rent personal data as a business practice. Service providers and partners are expected to use information only for the assigned purpose and to apply reasonable confidentiality and security measures.
Online payments and financial information
Where online payment is available, payment credentials may be processed directly by banks, UPI platforms, card networks, payment gateways, or other regulated payment providers. We may receive transaction status, transaction reference, amount, payer name, and limited billing information needed for confirmation and accounting.
We do not intend to collect or store your complete card number, card CVV, UPI PIN, ATM PIN, or internet-banking password. The payment provider’s own privacy policy and security practices apply to information processed on its systems.
Data retention and deletion
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including enquiry follow-up, booking and service delivery, warranty or claim handling, customer support, accounting, tax, insurance, fraud prevention, legal compliance, and dispute resolution.
When data is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymise, or securely archive it, unless continued retention is required by law, a court or authority, an ongoing claim, or another lawful purpose. Backup copies may remain for a limited period until overwritten through the normal backup cycle.
Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data, such as access restrictions, secure hosting configurations, password controls, software updates, backups, anti-spam measures, staff confidentiality, and limited sharing on a need-to-know basis.
No internet transmission, email, website, cloud platform, or storage system is completely secure. You should use trusted devices and networks and immediately report any suspicious message, payment demand, impersonation, or unauthorised use of your information.
If we become aware of a personal-data breach that requires notification under applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to contain the issue and notify affected persons and authorities as required.
