Privacy Policy

Effective date: 05 May 2026

VriddhiQ (“we”, “our”, “us”) is operated as a personal finance tool for Indian investors. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data in compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and applicable Indian law.

1. Data We Collect

We collect only the data required to provide the service:

Name (first & last)Account identification and personalised display
Email addressAuthentication, account recovery, and service notices
PAN (optional)Pre-fill ITR schedule; stored AES-256 encrypted — never in plaintext
Trade data (broker imports)FIFO lot matching, P&L computation, and ITR summary generation
Family member detailsMinor income clubbing under Sec 64(1A) as required by the Income Tax Act
Subscription & billing metadataPlan, status, billing period, and Razorpay subscription/customer reference IDs — required to provide paid features. Card details are never seen or stored by us.
Support ticket contentSubject, category, and description you submit via the in-app support form — used solely to respond to your request
Activity logsIn-app events such as login, file imports, plan changes, and payments — used for audit, debugging, and security monitoring
IP address & usage logsSecurity monitoring, abuse prevention, and rate limiting

2. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used exclusively for:

  • Computing capital gains (LTCG / STCG), F&O, and intraday P&L
  • Generating ITR-ready Schedule CG exports
  • Displaying your portfolio, tax liability estimates, and LTCG exemption utilisation
  • Sending transactional emails (email verification, password reset)
  • Maintaining security and preventing abuse

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the DPDP Act 2023, we process your personal data on two bases:

  • Explicit consent given at account creation — for processing related to providing the core service, computing tax figures, and sending account communications.
  • Performance of contract — for users on a paid plan, processing of billing and subscription data is necessary to deliver the paid Service you have contracted for, including charging your subscription, issuing receipts, and managing renewals or cancellations.

You may withdraw consent at any time by requesting account deletion (see Section 8). Withdrawal of consent will result in deletion of your account and all associated data. For paid subscriptions, billing records may be retained for the period required by applicable law (e.g. tax and accounting records).

4. Data Storage & Security

  • All data is stored on Supabase (PostgreSQL), hosted on AWS infrastructure in the ap-south-1 (Mumbai) region — data remains within India.
  • PAN numbers are encrypted using AES-256 (pgcrypto) before storage. The encryption key is never stored alongside the data.
  • All connections use TLS 1.2 or higher.
  • Row-Level Security (RLS) policies ensure users can only access their own data.
  • We do not store payment card details. Card data is captured and processed entirely by Razorpay (PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant) and never touches our servers. We store only non-sensitive subscription metadata — plan, status, period-end date, and Razorpay subscription/customer reference IDs.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Data is shared only with:

Supabase Inc.Database and authentication infrastructure (data processor)
Vercel Inc.Application hosting and edge delivery
Razorpay Software Pvt. Ltd.Payment processing for paid subscriptions — receives name, email, and billing details. PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant; cards stored on Razorpay, never on our servers.
Resend (Resend Inc.)Transactional email delivery — verification, password reset, payment receipts, billing notices. Receives recipient email address and message content.
Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry)Application error monitoring — may capture user ID, URL path, browser, and stack traces when errors occur. Configured to scrub form inputs and personal identifiers.
Upstash, Inc.Rate limiting and abuse prevention — receives IP address and request endpoint only.
Legal / regulatory authoritiesOnly when required by law or court order

All processors above are bound by data processing agreements and applicable data protection law. Razorpay and Resend are India-based; Supabase, Vercel, Sentry, and Upstash are international processors with appropriate cross-border safeguards.

6. Cookies & Tracking

VriddhiQ itself sets only essential cookies — specifically, the Supabase session cookie required to keep you signed in. We do not use marketing analytics or advertising trackers.

When you start a paid subscription, the Razorpay checkout flow is loaded from Razorpay’s domain and may set its own cookies inside the checkout iframe to secure the payment session. Similarly, our error-monitoring SDK (Sentry) may set a session-scoped identifier to correlate errors. These third-party cookies are governed by Razorpay’s and Sentry’s respective privacy policies and are limited to those specific contexts.

7. Your Rights Under DPDP Act 2023

As a Data Principal, you have the right to:

CorrectionRequest correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data
ErasureRequest deletion of your account and all associated personal data

To exercise any of these rights, email support@vriddhiq.com from your registered email address. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Account Deletion

You may permanently delete your account directly from your Profile page → Danger Zone → Delete account. You will be asked to confirm by typing your email address. On confirmation, all personal data is immediately and permanently deleted — transactions, family members, broker accounts, PAN details, and your login credentials.

Deletion is immediate and irreversible. Residual data in encrypted database backups is purged within 30 days as backups roll over. We may retain anonymised, non-identifiable aggregate statistics (e.g. total trade count) that cannot be linked back to you.

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you request deletion, primary data is removed immediately and residual backup copies are purged within 30 days. If your account remains inactive for 3 consecutive years with no login, we will notify you by email before deleting the account. Billing records associated with paid subscriptions may be retained for the period required by applicable tax and accounting law.
