EKKE will process opt-out requests promptly, though You may still receive communications already scheduled prior to the update of preferences.

EKKE may work with authorised third-party advertising partners to display product advertisements or personalised recommendations on the Platform or affiliated digital channels.

take remedial actions to mitigate harm and prevent recurrence.

EKKE continuously reviews and updates its incident management protocols to align with evolving legal and industry standards.

Data Retention - Fraud Prevention

In addition to statutory retention, EKKE may retain limited Personal Data in anonymised or restricted form for the following legitimate purposes:

preventing fraud, identity theft, or abuse of the Platform;
detecting and investigating repeated misuse or suspicious activity; and
enforcing EKKE’s legal rights or defending against potential claims.

Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be securely deleted, anonymised, or archived in accordance with EKKE’s internal data-retention and destruction policy.

Users may request deletion of their Account and associated data at any time, subject to EKKE’s obligations under law to retain specific information for audit, tax, or dispute-resolution purposes.

EKKE primarily processes and stores Personal Data within India:

Where limited transfers outside India are necessary for operational continuity such as hosting, content delivery, backup, or technical support EKKE ensures that:

such transfers comply with Applicable Law;
recipients are bound by contractual obligations ensuring equivalent protection standards; and
Personal Data is accessed only on a need-to-know basis for legitimate business purposes.

EKKE maintains data localisation for all critical and payment-related information in accordance with RBI and other regulatory directions.

Vendor and Sub-Processor Management

EKKE engages trusted third-party vendors, contractors, and service providers (“Sub-Processors”) to perform specific functions such as hosting, analytics, logistics, payment processing, marketing, and customer support.

All such Sub-Processors operate under written contracts that require confidentiality, security safeguards, and processing solely under EKKE’s instructions.

A current list or description of Sub-Processor categories is available upon request to the Grievance Officer.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

EKKE may use automated tools and algorithms to personalise recommendations, detect fraud, or assess risk.

Such processing is subject to appropriate human oversight and validation to ensure fairness and accuracy.

You may request an explanation of decisions significantly affecting You or object to such processing through the Privacy Centre or Grievance Officer, where permitted under law.

Security Testing and Responsible Disclosure

EKKE conducts regular vulnerability assessments, penetration tests, and security audits to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Personal Data.

Ethical security researchers may report issues to EKKE Help Centre.

Data Portability and Identity Verification

Upon a verified request, EKKE may provide You with a copy of certain Personal Data in a structured, commonly used format, where technically feasible.

To prevent unauthorised access, EKKE may require reasonable identity verification (such as OTP authentication or registered email confirmation) before processing any access, correction, deletion, or portability request.
