3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

Other users: When you post a listing, your name and listing details are visible to other users. When you transact with another user, limited contact information may be shared to facilitate the transaction.

Service providers: Third-party companies that perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing (Razorpay), SMS delivery (for OTP), email delivery, cloud storage, and analytics. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations.

Legal requirements: When required by law, regulation, court order, or government request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, property, or safety.

Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. KYC and Regulatory Compliance

RightNeeds collects KYC information as required under applicable Indian regulations for certain categories of transactions. KYC data (Aadhaar, PAN, bank details) is:

  • Stored with encryption at rest
  • Accessible only to authorised personnel
  • Retained for the period required by law
  • Never shared with third parties except as required by law or for verification purposes

Aadhaar data is handled in compliance with the Aadhaar Act, 2016 and UIDAI guidelines. We do not store the full Aadhaar number after verification.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at privacy@rightneeds.in. Some data may be retained for legal, regulatory, or fraud-prevention purposes even after account deletion.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, hashed passwords, rate limiting, and access controls to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately at support@rightneeds.in.
