4. Legal basis
We process personal data on the basis of your consent, which we ask for in clear terms for each purpose, and for the legitimate uses permitted under the DPDP Act, such as compliance with law and with orders of courts and regulators. Where consent is the basis, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out and may mean we cannot continue a service that depends on that consent.

Personal data collected for lending is stored on servers located in India, as required by the Reserve Bank of India's Digital Lending Directions.

7. How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, or for longer where the law requires it. For example, KYC and transaction records are kept for at least five years after the business relationship ends, as required under anti-money-laundering law. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymised.

Under the DPDP Act, you have the right to:
- obtain a summary of the personal data we process about you and the entities we have shared it with;
- request correction, completion or updating of your personal data;
- request erasure of personal data that is no longer needed, subject to our legal obligations to retain it;
