This Privacy Policy explains in detail how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect your personal and financial information when you use our research and advisory services. By accessing our platform and using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. We adhere to all applicable data protection laws and regulations governing the handling of client information.

 

2. Information We Collect

We collect various types of information to provide you with our services effectively and to comply with regulatory requirements. Personal information we collect includes your full name, email address, phone number, PAN card details, date of birth, residential address, bank account details for payment processing, trading or demat account information, and KYC documents required for identity verification. We also collect financial information such as your investment preferences, risk profile assessment, trading history and patterns, subscription details, and payment transaction information. Additionally, we gather technical information through your use of our platform, including your IP address, browser type and version, device information, operating system, cookies and usage data, and location data if you have granted permission. Communication data is also collected and stored, including messages, emails, chat history with our support team, phone call recordings made with your consent, and feedback or survey responses you provide.

 

3. How We Collect Information

We collect your information through multiple channels and methods to ensure we have accurate and complete data. Information is collected directly from you during the registration process when you sign up for our services. We gather data through your ongoing use of our platform, including how you interact with our website and services. Cookies and tracking technologies help us understand user behavior and improve our platform's functionality. Third-party payment processors share necessary transaction information with us to complete your subscription payments. Customer support interactions, whether through phone, email, or chat, provide us with additional information about your needs and concerns. In some cases, we may collect information from publicly available sources for verification purposes to ensure the authenticity of the information you have provided.

 

4. Purpose of Data Collection

Your information is used for several important purposes that enable us to deliver high-quality services and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. We use your data to provide our core research and advisory services, including generating and delivering trading recommendations tailored to your preferences. Processing your subscriptions and payments requires us to maintain accurate financial records and transaction details. We send you trading recommendations, market alerts, and time-sensitive information through your preferred communication channels. Identity verification and fraud prevention measures help us maintain the security and integrity of our platform. We continuously work to improve our services and enhance user experience based on usage patterns and feedback. Important updates, service announcements, and relevant offers are communicated to you through the contact information you provide. Our customer support team uses your information to assist you effectively with queries and concerns. Market research and analysis help us understand client needs and improve our recommendations. Finally, we maintain comprehensive records as required by law, including for tax purposes and regulatory compliance.

 

5. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal information based on several legal grounds that justify our data handling practices. Your explicit consent is obtained when you sign up for our services and agree to our terms. Contractual necessity requires us to process certain information to fulfill our obligations in providing you with our services. Legal obligations imposed by regulatory authorities and other government bodies mandate the collection and retention of specific client information. Our legitimate business interests, which do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms, also serve as a basis for processing certain data to operate and improve our business effectively.

 

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We understand the sensitivity of your personal and financial information and take great care in limiting how and with whom we share your data. We may share your information with payment gateway providers who process your subscription payments securely on our behalf. SMS and email service providers help us deliver timely alerts and recommendations to you. When legally required, we share information with regulatory authorities such as income tax departments and other government agencies. Our legal advisors and auditors may access your information as necessary for legal compliance and financial audits. Technology service providers who help us maintain and improve our platform are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only given access to information necessary for their specific functions.

 

What We Never Do With Your Information

We want to be absolutely clear about what we do not do with your information. We never sell your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not share your trading details or recommendation history with competitors or other research analysts. We do not disclose your information to third parties for their marketing campaigns. We do not transfer your data outside India without ensuring adequate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with Indian data protection standards.

 

7. Data Security

Protecting your information is our top priority, and we implement comprehensive security measures to safeguard your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We use industry-standard SSL encryption for all data transmission between your device and our servers, ensuring that your information remains secure during transit. Our servers located in India are protected by robust firewalls and intrusion detection systems that monitor for suspicious activity around the clock. Regular security audits are conducted by independent experts to identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Strict access controls and multi-factor authentication ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information, and access is granted on a need-to-know basis only. Our employees and contractors receive regular training on data protection best practices and their responsibilities in handling client information. All sensitive information is stored in encrypted format, making it unreadable to anyone who might gain unauthorized access. Despite these extensive measures, we acknowledge that no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we continuously monitor and update our security practices to maintain the highest standards of data protection.

 

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal and financial information for specific periods based on regulatory requirements and business needs. As long as you maintain an active subscription with us, we keep your account information accessible so you can continue using our services seamlessly. After you close your account or your subscription ends, we continue to retain your data for a period of seven years as mandated by financial regulations and income tax laws. Financial records, including payment transactions and subscription history, are maintained in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Even after the mandatory retention period expires, you may request deletion of your data, although certain information may need to be retained for legal or legitimate business purposes. We periodically review stored data and securely delete information that is no longer needed, ensuring we do not keep your personal information longer than necessary.

 

9. Your Rights

You have several important rights regarding your personal information, and we are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights. You have the right to access your personal information and request a copy of the data we hold about you. If you believe any information we have is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request corrections, and we will update our records promptly. You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal obligations and legitimate business needs to retain certain data. Where we process your data based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, although this may affect our ability to continue providing certain services. You can object to certain types of data processing, particularly for marketing purposes or when we process data based on legitimate interests. In some circumstances, you have the right to request that we transfer your data to another service provider in a structured, commonly used format. If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with relevant data protection authorities or regulatory bodies. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details provided in this policy.

11. Third-Party Links

Our platform may occasionally contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources that we believe may be useful or relevant to you. However, we want to make it clear that we are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security measures of these external websites. These third-party sites operate independently and have their own privacy policies and terms of service. Before providing any personal information to third-party websites, we strongly encourage you to review their privacy policies and understand how they collect, use, and protect your data. We cannot control and are not liable for the privacy practices of external websites, even if you access them through links on our platform.

We may send you promotional emails, SMS messages, and WhatsApp communications about our services, new features, special offers, and market insights that we believe may interest you. These marketing communications are only sent with your explicit consent, which you provide during registration or through subsequent opt-in mechanisms. You have full control over marketing communications and can opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in promotional emails or by contacting our customer support. However, please note that while you can opt out of promotional messages, you cannot opt out of receiving service-related communications that are essential to your subscription, such as transaction confirmations, important service updates, security alerts, or notifications about changes to our terms and policies. We respect Do Not Disturb preferences as mandated by TRAI regulations, and we maintain an internal suppression list to ensure we do not send promotional messages to numbers registered under DND services.

 

13. Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for and directed toward adults who are engaged in securities trading and investment activities. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. Our platform is not intended for use by minors, and we do not market our services to children or teenagers. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor without proper parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our systems. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information should contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.

 

14. International Data Transfers

Your personal information is primarily stored and processed within India, where our servers and data centers are located in Maharashtra. This ensures that your data remains subject to Indian data protection laws and regulations. However, in certain limited circumstances, it may be necessary to transfer your data outside India, such as when using international technology service providers or cloud infrastructure. If such transfers occur, we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your information, including standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements, and ensuring that recipient organizations maintain appropriate security measures. We will never transfer your data to countries or organizations that do not provide adequate protection for personal information.

 

15. Changes to Privacy Policy

As our business evolves and regulatory requirements change, we may need to update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new practices, features, or legal obligations. When we make changes to this policy, we will notify you through email or by posting a prominent announcement on our website, ensuring you are aware of how we collect, use, and protect your information. The revised policy will include an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. Your continued use of our services after such modifications constitutes your acknowledgment and acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. For material changes that significantly affect your rights or how we handle your information, we will seek your explicit consent before implementing such changes, giving you the opportunity to review and decide whether you wish to continue using our services under the new terms.

We maintain the highest standards of client data protection as required by law. Our record maintenance practices meet all regulatory requirements for retention periods and documentation standards. We implement robust data protection measures that align with regulatory expectations. All disclosure obligations required by applicable laws are fulfilled in a timely and accurate manner. We ensure that client information is never misused for personal trading, market manipulation, or any activities that violate securities laws and regulations.

 

17. Data Breach Notification

Despite our best efforts to protect your information, data breaches can occur due to sophisticated cyber-attacks or unforeseen security incidents. In the unfortunate event of a data breach that compromises your personal information, we have established protocols to respond swiftly and transparently. We will notify all affected users within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, providing details about what information was compromised, the potential risks, and steps we are taking to address the situation. We will promptly inform relevant regulatory authorities as required by law. Our technical team will take immediate remedial action to contain the breach, secure our systems, and prevent further unauthorized access.
