3. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only in these limited circumstances:

- Payment Processors: Razorpay and UPI payment rails process transactions under their own privacy policies.

- Legal Obligations: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or regulatory authority in India.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.
4. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored on servers located in India, in compliance with applicable data localisation requirements. We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit.
- AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest.
- Role-based access controls — only authorised personnel can access personal data.
- Regular security audits and penetration testing.
We retain your account data for the duration of your subscription and for up to 24 months thereafter for dispute resolution, tax, and legal compliance purposes. Wash photos are retained for 90 days and then permanently deleted.
5. Photo & Location Data
Every wash generates a set of geo-tagged, time-stamped photographs. These photos are:
- Stored securely and accessible only to you and authorised DMW staff.
- Used exclusively to verify service delivery and resolve quality disputes.
- Never shared with third parties or used for marketing without your explicit consent.
- Automatically deleted after 90 days.
Location data (your parking bay coordinates) is used only for partner dispatch and wash verification. It is never sold or shared with advertisers.
