DATA HANDLING

How We Handle Your Records

We keep policy handling tied to the account record, the payment trail, and the device session used to place an action.

Data scope

We store the details tied to your account use, payment activity, and verification steps, then keep them only for the period needed to run the account, resolve queries, and meet legal duties.

Cookie control

Cookies help us keep you signed in, remember page state, and measure whether the terms page loads correctly. You can clear them in your browser, though some saved settings will reset.

Account security

Use a private password, check your login alerts, and avoid sharing one-time codes. If we spot unusual access, we may pause the account until you confirm the activity and secure the sign-in.

Record retention

We keep transaction logs, support threads, and verification records only as long as the account or law requires. After that period, we remove or anonymise the data that no longer has a purpose.

Change requests

If your name, address, or contact detail changes, send the updated proof from the address on file. We will review the change, confirm the record, and update the account where permitted.

Contact route

For a copy, correction, or deletion request, email [email protected] with your account details and the clause you want checked. We will respond through the same thread so you can track the status.

Common Questions on These Terms

These answers cover how the terms work when you open, use, or close an account. If a local rule changes what we can offer in India, that rule applies first.

We can then reply with the exact wording that applies to your case.

Yes. If local law limits access in your area, we follow that rule and may block or narrow access for that location. Where the law permits access, the same account terms still apply.

The version shown on this page is the one that applies from the time it is posted. If you acted earlier, we can check the archived wording that covered that action when you ask us.

We may ask for your name, contact details, age proof, identity proof, and payment ownership evidence if a transaction needs checking. Those details help us match the account and reduce mistakes.

A payment can be held while we check wallet ownership, fraud signals, or a mismatch in the account record. Once the check is complete, we either proceed or explain what needs to be corrected.

Write to the contact tied to your account, tell us what needs to change, and attach the proof we ask for. We will review the request and update the record where the terms allow.

Send us the clause number and a short explanation. We will check the wording, point you to the relevant rule, and tell you whether the term applies to your current account action.
