Effective Date: 9 December 2025

Thank you for choosing to use Rupenex (“the App”). We recognize the importance of protecting user information and are committed to handling all data in a secure, lawful, and transparent manner. This Privacy Policy explains how the App collects, processes, and protects your information when you use our services. By installing or using Rupenex, you acknowledge that you understand and accept the practices described in this document.

1. About Our Service

Rupenex is a technology platform developed and maintained by GRAMIN SHIKSHA PRIVATE LIMITED. The App provides digital tools that support users during the loan application process, such as identity verification, document submission, and secure information transfer.

Rupenex does not provide lending services, make credit decisions, distribute funds, or manage repayments. All lending activities are independently performed by our regulated partner ZHARUKA FISCAL SERVICES PVT LTD, an NBFC registered in India. Our role is limited to providing technology that helps both users and licensed lending institutions complete the loan application flow efficiently and securely.

2. Information We Collect

To enable the functions offered within the App and to support our lending partner in meeting compliance requirements, the following types of information may be collected:

2.1 Personal Information Provided by You

You may choose to submit the following data when applying for a loan:

· Full name, mobile number, and contact information

· Government-issued identification (e.g., PAN)

· Employment details, income information, and financial background (if applicable)

All such information is collected only when you voluntarily provide it and solely for fulfilling legitimate service needs.

2.2 Automatically Collected Technical Information

When using the App, technical information may be collected for authentication, security enhancement, and fraud prevention, including:

· Device model, operating system version, IP address

· Device identifiers (e.g., Android ID)

· Network-related information required for secure communication

This information helps us ensure your account is legitimate and improves system stability.

 

3. Permissions and Device Access

To deliver certain core features, Rupenex may request access to limited device functions. Only permissions essential for the App’s operation are used.

• Camera Access

Used exclusively to capture photos required for identity verification (e.g., ID images or facial confirmation). The App does not record video or collect any unrelated visual content.

• Location (Approximate)

If approved by you, approximate location data may be used to:

· Validate the consistency of application information

· Detect unusual or high-risk activity

· Support fraud-prevention mechanisms

• Device Information

Basic device identifiers and system attributes help prevent account spoofing and ensure safe operation.

No sensitive permissions such as SMS access, Call Logs, Contact List, or installed apps are requested or collected.

4. How Your Information Is Used

Data collected through Rupenex may be used for the following purposes:

· Verifying your identity and validating submitted information

· Assisting our NBFC partner in conducting credit assessment and regulatory checks

· Detecting suspicious activity and ensuring platform security

· Improving App functions and providing customer support

· Sending essential service updates such as reminders or notifications related to your application

Rupenex does not independently evaluate creditworthiness or determine loan outcomes.

5. Sharing of Information

Your information may be shared only in the following situations and strictly within legal boundaries:

5.1 With Our Lending Partner

Information is transmitted securely to ZHARUKA FISCAL SERVICES PVT LTD to support loan processing, verification, and compliance obligations.

5.2 With Authorized Technical Providers

Certain technical partners may process data to support analytics, system optimization, or infrastructure services. All partners are contractually bound to maintain confidentiality and follow data-protection requirements.

5.3 For Security and Risk Management

Information may be shared to:

· Prevent malicious activity

· Protect the App and its users

· Ensure operational compliance

5.4 For Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by regulators, courts, or law enforcement agencies in accordance with applicable laws.

Rupenex does not sell or distribute your data to unrelated third parties for marketing or profiling.

 

6. Third-Party SDKs Used in the App

To improve operational efficiency and measure performance, the App may integrate certain third-party tools such as:

· Kochava SDK – used for install attribution and fraud prevention

· Facebook SDK – used for analytics and campaign management

These SDKs process limited technical information (such as device identifiers) and do not access sensitive personal data. Their usage complies with their respective privacy policies and applicable legal requirements.

7. WebView-Based Features

Some service pages within the App may load inside a secure WebView environment, especially those hosted by our NBFC partner. If you input information on a partner’s webpage, it is transmitted directly to that institution.

Rupenex implements WebView security measures to prevent unauthorized access or data leakage. Please ensure you are interacting with trusted pages before submitting any details.

8. Data Security and Storage

Rupenex employs multiple industry-standard safeguards, including:

· Encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS)

· Encrypted data storage

· Role-based access controls

· Continuous security monitoring

All information is stored on protected servers operated by GRAMIN SHIKSHA PRIVATE LIMITED and is used only to support the credit-assessment process conducted by our lending partner.

When your information is no longer needed, or when you request deletion, it is securely removed in accordance with legal retention requirements.

9. Your Rights and Choices
