Legal & data protection

How this platform handles your data, who to contact about it, and how long records are kept.

Policies

None of these documents is published yet. They are drafted with counsel, not generated — this page deliberately shows the gap rather than filling it with text no lawyer has read.

Contact about your data

No grievance officer is designated yet. India's DPDP Act 2023 reaches extraterritorially and requires a named contact with published details for data subjects. Until one is designated there is no route here — rather than an address that reaches nobody.

Your rights, and what we can do today

Stated as it is, not as it should be. A contact who cannot act on a request is worse than no contact.

How long records are kept

This schedule is an engineering proposal derived from public obligations. It has NOT been reviewed by counsel and must not be published as policy until it has. The customs-vs-erasure tension in particular is a legal determination, not an implementation choice.

Record typeMinimum retentionOverrides an erasure request?
Customs and import records
Legal obligation (US import recordkeeping).
5 years from entryYES — US customs recordkeeping obligations run to five years from the date of entry. An erasure request cannot remove an import record inside that window; the response must say so rather than silently declining.
Financial and settlement records
Legal obligation (tax/audit), and contract performance.
As required by the customer's own tax and audit obligationsYES — deleting a settlement record breaks the customer's own audit trail, not only ours.
Governance and audit trail
Legitimate interest (security, dispute resolution, ISO 42001 / SOX evidence).
Life of the customer relationship, plus the audit windowPARTIAL — the EVENT must survive (an audit trail with holes is not an audit trail), but the actor's identifying fields can be pseudonymised without destroying the record's evidential value.
Supplier prospect and verification evidence
Consent / legitimate interest in supplier due diligence.
No statutory minimumNO — a prospect who was never onboarded, or a supplier who has left, can be erased. This is the clearest erasable class and the one a DPDP request is most likely to concern.
Messages and clarifications
Contract performance.
Life of the cycle, plus the dispute windowPARTIAL — commercial correspondence about a live or disputed deal is evidence; content on a closed, undisputed cycle is erasable.
Accounts and memberships
Contract performance.
No statutory minimumNO — a departed user's account is erasable once their actions are pseudonymised in the audit trail above.
