Legal basis for processing
Depending on the interaction, we rely on one or more of the following legal grounds: performance of a contract with you, your consent (which you can withdraw at any time), our legitimate business interests (such as securing our website or improving our products), and compliance with legal obligations under applicable Indian and international laws.

We retain personal information only for as long as needed to provide the service, meet the purpose for which it was collected, satisfy tax and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer required, we delete or anonymise it.
Section 10
Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information — including access controls, encrypted transport (HTTPS), role-based permissions in our admin systems, and monitoring for unusual activity. No system is completely secure, and we ask you to keep your account credentials confidential and to notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.
