The Company does not own or operate any mobile application or website of its own for sourcing or servicing loans. Loans are sourced, facilitated and serviced through the digital lending applications and platforms (“DLAs”) of Lending Service Providers (“LSPs”) engaged by the Company, who act on behalf of the Company under written outsourcing agreements. Your personal data is accordingly collected by, or through, the DLAs of our LSPs, on our behalf and for the purpose of providing you loan products of the Company.

As the regulated entity and lender, the Company remains responsible for the acts of its LSPs in relation to the collection, storage, processing and protection of your personal data, in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India (Digital Lending) Directions and other applicable RBI guidelines on outsourcing. This Policy is issued in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDPA”) and the rules framed thereunder, and the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011 (“SPDI Rules”), to the extent applicable. As a data fiduciary under the DPDPA, we (together with our LSPs acting as data processors on our behalf) process personal data in accordance with the principles of data minimisation, purpose limitation, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, confidentiality and accountability.

This Policy explains what personal data is collected from you through our LSPs' DLAs, how it is used, with whom it is shared, how it is protected, and the rights available to you. This Policy should be read together with the privacy policy published on the DLA of the LSP through which you avail the loan, the Key Fact Statement (“KFS”) and the loan documentation provided to you.

“You” or “Your” refers to any person who applies for, avails of, or enquires about a loan product of the Company through the DLA of any of our LSPs (“Borrower” or “User”). You must be a natural person who is at least 18 (eighteen) years of age and competent to contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. We do not knowingly process the personal data of any person below 18 years of age.

By applying for or availing a loan from the Company through an LSP's DLA, and by providing your consent on such DLA, you consent to the collection, use, processing, storage and disclosure of your information in accordance with this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not apply for or avail our loan products.

In accordance with RBI's Digital Lending Directions, the DLAs shall not access your mobile phone contact list, call logs, telephony functions or media files; camera, microphone, location or any other facility necessary for onboarding/KYC may be accessed only with your explicit one-time consent, which you may deny or withdraw.

d. Non-Personal Information and Cookies

The DLAs may collect certain non-identifying information and use cookies or similar technologies to recognise you, improve usability and analyse usage patterns. Such information is governed by the privacy policy of the relevant LSP's DLA read together with this Policy.

Your personal data is collected and processed only after your free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent is obtained through the LSP's DLA, by way of a clear affirmative action, as required under the DPDPA. The purpose of each collection is disclosed to you at the time of seeking consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, or deny consent for the use of specific data or the collection of data from your device, by writing to the Grievance Redressal Officer identified in Section 12 or through the options provided on the relevant DLA. You may also ask the Company and its LSPs to delete the data collected from you or restrict its disclosure to third parties. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal, but may limit or discontinue our ability to provide or continue certain services (including assessment of loan eligibility or disbursal), and remains subject to applicable law and the terms of any sanctioned loan.

5. Use of Information
