  •   your free, informed, unconditional, and specific consent for the particular purpose of Processing;
  •   the performance of a loan agreement or any related contract or service that you have requested/ undertaken from us;

We do not process your Personal Data for any purpose that is incompatible with or materially different from the purpose for which it was originally collected, unless such further Processing is authorised by law or carried out with your explicit consent.

5. CATEGORIES OF DATA WE COLLECT

We collect a wide range of Personal Data because the nature of digital lending requires detailed information to establish identity, verify authenticity, assess creditworthiness, detect fraud, and fulfil regulatory obligations.

  •   Identity and Profile Data (Mandatory): We collect identity and profile data to verify your eligibility for our services and to maintain accurate customer records. This includes your full name, date of birth, gender, photograph, geo-location and, when required for due diligence or statutory processes, the name of your father, mother, or legal guardian. This information helps us establish your identity and ensures that we are engaging with the correct individual during the lending process.
  •  Contact Data (Mandatory): We collect contact details so that we can communicate with you effectively and deliver important information about your loan application, account status, repayment obligations, or service updates. This information includes your mobile number, email address, residential address, correspondence address, and any alternative contact numbers you provide. These details enable us to reach you for mandatory notices, alerts, verification calls, and customer support interactions.
  •  KYC and Identity Verification Data (Mandatory): In compliance with KYC regulations, we collect information from officially valid documents that help verify your identity and address. This includes without limitation, Aadhaar, and PAN along with supporting proof-of-address materials. We may also collect your selfie or photograph for liveness checks, as permitted by law and required to prevent identity fraud or impersonation.
  •  Financial and Employment Data (Mandatory): To assess your creditworthiness and determine your ability to repay a loan, we require certain financial and employment information. This includes your bank account details, IFSC code, bank statements, salary slips, income certificates, tax returns, and details relating to your employer or business. This data is considered sensitive and is processed with a high level of protection, solely for loan servicing, and compliance with financial regulatory requirements.
  •  Transaction, Account and Loan Data (Mandatory): In administering your loan and maintaining your account, we collect information related to your loan applications, executed loan agreements, disbursement records, repayment history, EMI schedules, payment references, transaction timestamps, and other operational data. These records help us manage your loan, maintain transparency in your account activity, comply with reporting requirements, and address disputes or service requests effectively.
  •  Device and Technical Data (Mandatory): When you use our Platform, we automatically collect certain technical information that helps us maintain the security and performance of our systems. This includes device identifiers, IP address, operating system details, browser type, device metadata, crash logs, and behavioural interaction data such as pages viewed or features accessed. We may use cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality, enhance user experience, and secure your sessions. We also collect details of hardware model, build model, RAM, storage; unique device identifiers like IMEI, serial number, SSAID; SIM information that includes network operator, roaming state, MNC and MCC codes, WIFI information that includes MAC address and mobile network information to uniquely identify the devices and ensure that no unauthorized device acts on your behalf to prevent frauds.
  •  Behavioural and Credit Scoring Data (Mandatory): To make responsible, compliant, and risk aware lending decisions, we analyse behavioural information and risk indicators associated with your profile. This may include your responses in loan applications, repayment patterns, historical credit bureau information, alternative data signals such as telecom usage, payment behaviour, and device-related indicators, all collected in accordance with applicable law. These inputs help us generate internal credit scores and risk assessments that guide our lending decisions.
  •  Communications and Support Data (Mandatory): Whenever you interact with our customer support channels, we retain records of those communications to improve service quality, resolve issues, and meet audit or regulatory requirements. This may include call recordings (where permitted and compliant with consent rules), chat transcripts, emails, grievance reports, and support logs. CCTV footage may be collected if you visit our physical premises to ensure workplace safety and security.
  •  Third-Party and Publicly Available Data (Mandatory): We may receive information about you from authorised third-party sources, such as credit bureaus, public databases, verification agencies, fraud prevention networks, and regulated data aggregators. This data is used to validate your identity, detect fraud, comply with statutory obligations, and supplement our underwriting and risk assessment processes. We only access such data where legally permitted and required for legitimate business purposes.
  •  Sensitive Special-Category Data (Mandatory): We generally do not collect health-related data or other categories of highly Sensitive Personal Information unless it is absolutely necessary for a specific legal or service-related purpose. In exceptional cases where such information is required, we will collect it only with your explicit consent or in circumstances clearly permitted under law. We ensure heightened protection and restricted use of such data.

6. PURPOSES OF PROCESSING

We process each category of Personal Data only for specific, lawful and clearly defined purposes. Your information is primarily used to evaluate your loan application, verify your identity, carry out underwriting and credit assessments, and ensure that the details you provide are accurate and complete. We rely on your data to disburse and service loans, manage repayments, generate account statements, remind you of upcoming due dates, and support you with customer assistance, risk reviews, portfolio monitoring, collections, recoveries, and the enforcement of our contractual rights. It also enables us to address your queries, resolve grievances, and manage any disputes that may arise. Your data further supports us in ensuring the safety and integrity of our Platform. This includes preventing fraud, carrying out anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) checks, identifying unusual or suspicious activity, verifying device authenticity, and maintaining overall system security. We also process your information to meet legal and regulatory obligations, such as reporting requirements before the RBI and other authorities, responding to directions from judicial or quasi-judicial bodies, cooperating with law-enforcement agencies, fulfilling KYC norms, interacting with credit information companies, and complying with audit or statutory review processes. This also includes complying with court orders, subpoenas, legal processes, or taking necessary steps to protect the rights, property or safety of the Company, our customers, or the public. In addition, your data helps us strengthen our internal operations by enabling audits, improving efficiency, studying platform usage trends, refining our algorithms, developing new features, and carrying out research, analytics, and training-related activities. From time to time, certain information may also be used to support service-related outreach and communication activities facilitated through trusted partners who assist us in operational processes linked to customer engagement and repayment management. Where required, and only with your prior consent, we may also use your information to send you marketing or promotional messages.

7. SOURCES OF DATA

We collect Personal Data from a variety of sources to ensure that the information we process is accurate, complete and relevant for the services we provide.

  •  Directly from you: The primary source of data is you, when you interact with our Platform and voluntarily submit information as part of your loan application. This includes the details you enter in forms, documents or photographs you upload for verification, and any confirmations, declarations or statements you provide during the course of your relationship with us.
  •  From your device: We also obtain information from the devices you use to access our Platform. This may include device identifiers, network information, technical logs generated by the application, IP addresses, operating system details, usage data, and cookie-based or similar tracking information that helps us maintain platform performance, security and continuity of service.
  •  From third parties: In addition, we may receive information from third parties with whom we work as part of the lending process. These may include credit information companies for credit scores and credit history, banks and payment networks for transaction-related details, government-provided identity systems for verification purposes, and authorised accounts and data aggregators, service providers, or analytics partners who assist in various compliance, operational or assessment activities.
  •  Public or commercially available sources: We may also draw upon publicly accessible sources or commercially available databases, where such information is relevant for verification, regulatory compliance, fraud prevention, due-diligence or risk assessment purposes.

All Personal Data obtained from third parties is collected strictly in accordance with applicable laws, contractual obligations and regulatory requirements. Where necessary, and whenever required under law, such collection or access will be clearly stated in the notices provided to you or will be undertaken with your consent.

8. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING AND PROFILING

Our digital lending model relies on advanced automated systems that assess your creditworthiness and determine your loan eligibility by analysing a combination of factors for quick disbursal of loan. These may include your financial information, credit bureau reports, repayment history, behavioural patterns, device-level indicators, and other relevant data points necessary for making an initial credit decision. These automated systems are designed to provide a fair, consistent, and efficient evaluation based on established risk and underwriting criteria. Although our technology enables largely automated assessments, there may be instances where the system is unable to complete its evaluation or where additional verification becomes necessary. In such situations, your application may be routed for a manual review by authorised members of our credit risk, or verification teams. This manual review is an internal safeguard intended to ensure accuracy, regulatory compliance, and responsible lending, and is conducted strictly at the Company’s discretion. It is important to understand that the automated assessment process, or the use of manual review as part of our internal workflows, does not create any entitlement for you to demand human intervention, request disclosure of proprietary assessment logic, or seek a reconsideration of decisions unless such rights are expressly granted under applicable law. Any further review, verification, or assessment, whether automated or manual is undertaken in accordance with our internal policies, regulatory guidelines, and operational protocols that govern responsible credit decision-making.

9. CONSENT FOR CREDIT AND VERIFICATION INFORMATION

By submitting a loan application, you expressly consent to the Lender accessing, collecting, and using your PAN, credit bureau information, and other verification data strictly for purposes of assessing your creditworthiness, evaluating eligibility, preventing fraud, and complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The Lender may share such information with authorised third-party service providers, regulated financial partners, credit information companies, and verification agencies solely for Processing your application or servicing your loan. Your credit information may be refreshed or re-evaluated periodically, as permitted by law, for ongoing risk monitoring, portfolio management, repayment assessment, and offering improved or updated credit products where eligible. All such access will be conducted in accordance with applicable RBI regulations, the DPDP Act, and any other governing laws.

10. DISCLOSURE AND SHARING OF DATA

We may share your Personal Data with a limited and carefully selected set of recipients, strictly for purposes that are necessary, lawful, and consistent with this Privacy Policy. Such sharing is carried out on a need-to-know basis and always governed by appropriate contractual, technical, and organisational safeguards. We may disclose information to:

  •  Administrators: For internal operations and system maintenance, bound by strict confidentiality.

  • In all other situations, Personal Data is shared only with your explicit consent and in accordance with applicable legal requirements. We require that all third-party processing data on our behalf does so in compliance with applicable laws, maintains confidentiality, and implements appropriate security measures, and such third parties act as independent entities and remain solely responsible for their own independent actions.

11. MOBILE NUMBER COLLECTION & FRAUD PREVENTION

We collect and verify your mobile number to ensure that the registered number is active on the device being used, which helps prevent impersonation, unauthorised access, and fraudulent transactions. Mobile number verification forms an integral part of KYC compliance, user authentication, and secure account access in digital lending services. Your mobile number functions as a primary identifier and communication channel for loan-related alerts, verification codes, security notifications, and transactional updates. Accordingly, mobile number verification is mandatory to enable safe and uninterrupted access to our services.

  •  Camera Access: Camera access is required solely for capturing your profile photograph for verification; and scanning documents such as PAN for quicker and more accurate onboarding. This enables auto-fill assistance, reduces manual errors, and supports secure identity verification. We do not use the camera for any background or undisclosed activities.
  •  Storage / Media Access: Storage access is sought only for secure uploading of KYC documents; downloading loan statements, agreements, and account information; and storing or retrieving documents that you voluntarily choose to upload.

These permissions help ensure an efficient loan process and compliance with applicable privacy and data-protection regulations. Any information collected by us in the capacity of an LSP, is shared with the Regulated Entity and thereafter deleted in accordance with the agreed terms between the Regulated Entity and us.

13. CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS

As of the current date, all Personal Data is stored and processed within India. However, depending on our business, operational or technological requirements, we may in the future engage trusted third party service providers located outside India to support functions such as storage, Processing, analytics, platform maintenance, or technical support. Any such transfer will be carried out strictly in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the applicable Rules, and any sector specific guidance issued by the RBI or other regulators. Where required, we will implement appropriate safeguards, including contractual protections, encryption, access controls, standard contractual clauses, or any additional measures prescribed under law, to ensure that the level of protection afforded to your data remains consistent with Indian legal requirements. If any data-localisation obligations apply under Indian law, such as sector-specific requirements, RBI guidelines, or other regulatory directives, we will store, maintain and handle such categories of data within India to the extent mandated. In such cases, any cross-border transfer will be limited or restricted in compliance with the applicable localisation requirements.

14. DATA RETENTION

We retain Personal Data only for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Policy and to meet our contractual, operational, legal, regulatory, taxation, audit and litigation-related obligations. Certain categories of information such as KYC records, loan documentation, financial data and transaction-related information are retained for a minimum period of ten (10) years from the date of closure of the loan account or completion of the relevant transaction, or for such longer period as may be mandated under applicable laws and regulatory directions issued by the RBI or other authorities. After the expiry of the applicable retention period, or once the data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, we will securely delete, irreversibly anonymise, or otherwise dispose of the data in accordance with our internal retention schedules and legal requirements. Anonymisation, where applied, is performed in a manner that ensures the data can no longer be used to identify any individual.

15. SECURITY MEASURES

We have established and maintain a robust information security framework designed to safeguard Personal Data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our security programme incorporates a comprehensive combination of organisational, technical, administrative, and physical controls consistent with applicable law, RBI guidelines, and recognised industry standards. These measures include without limitation role-based access controls; multi-factor authentication for administrative and privileged access; encryption of Sensitive Data in transit and at rest; secure cryptographic key-management practices; OTP verification; endpoint and network security controls; firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems; secure software development methodologies; and continuous logging, monitoring, and alerting across our technology environment. We conduct regular vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, security hardening, and periodic internal and external audits to evaluate the effectiveness of these measures. We also apply timely security patching, enforce data-minimisation principles, and provide mandatory training to personnel on information-security and data-protection obligations. We regularly review our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to prevent unauthorized access to our systems. Our Platform has stringent security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of information under control. We endeavour to safeguard and ensure the security of the information provided by you. We use Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) based encryption, for the transmission of the information, which is currently the required level of encryption in India as per applicable law. We maintain documented incident-response and breach-management procedures to address security events in a structured and timely manner. In the event of a personal-data breach, we will initiate all required containment and mitigation steps and notify affected Data Principals and the relevant regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We blend security at multiple steps within our products with the state-of-the-art technology to ensure our systems maintain strong security measures and the overall data and privacy security design allow us to defend our systems ranging from low hanging issue up to sophisticated attacks. In addition, the Website and App have been certified for the following security certifications:

  •  ISO 9001: being the international standard that details requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements with the requisite security protections.
  •   ISO 27001 (formally known as ISO/IEC 27001:2005): is a specification for an information security management system (ISMS) and is the suggested level of certification required under the Information Technology Act, 2000. An ISMS is a framework of policies and procedures that includes all legal, physical and technical controls involved in an organization’s information risk management processes.

16. DATA BREACH NOTIFICATION

In the event of a confirmed Personal Data breach that is likely to result in a risk of harm to a Data Principal, we will activate our incident-response protocols, investigate the event, take immediate steps to contain and mitigate the breach, and notify the competent authorities and affected individuals in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Any notification issued by us will outline the nature of the breach, the categories of data involved, the potential impact, the measures taken or proposed to mitigate the associated risks, and the contact details through which affected individuals may seek further information or assistance. Where specific statutory timelines for breach reporting are prescribed under the DPDP Act, the DPDP Rules, or any other applicable law or regulatory direction, we will ensure compliance with such timelines.

As of the current date, all Personal Data is stored and processed within India.

If any data-localisation obligations apply under Indian law, such as sector-specific requirements, RBI guidelines, or other regulatory directives, we will store, maintain and handle such categories of data within India to the extent mandated. In such cases, any cross-border transfer will be limited or restricted in compliance with the applicable localisation requirements.
