3. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in the following circumstances:
- Service Partners: With authorised resellers or LCOs who manage your subscription on our platform, limited to data necessary to provide the service.
- Payment Gateways: With payment processors (Razorpay, PayTM, PhonePe, CCAvenue) to facilitate transactions. Their own privacy policies apply.

- Infrastructure Providers: With cloud, hosting, or SMS service providers who process data solely on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.
4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:
- Passwords are stored using bcrypt hashing — we never store plain-text passwords.
- All sensitive portal communications are encrypted in transit using TLS/HTTPS.
- RADIUS authentication credentials are protected and segregated from application data.
- Access to customer data within our portal is role-based (Admin, Reseller, LCO, Customer).
- Regular security audits and log monitoring for suspicious activity.
While we take reasonable precautions, no system is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and to contact us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.
5. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as required to provide services. Specifically:
- Network session logs (RADIUS): Retained for up to 1 year as required by telecom regulations.
- Billing and payment records: Retained for 7 years for tax and accounting compliance.
- Support tickets: Retained for 3 years after closure.
- Inactive accounts: Data may be anonymised or deleted after 2 years of inactivity, subject to regulatory requirements.
