We collect only what is necessary to provide the Service:

Usage data

Pages visited, features used, API requests, session duration, and error logs — used for service improvement and fraud prevention.

AI chat history

Messages you send to the AI assistant, retained to provide conversational context. Limited to last 50 messages.

IP address, browser type, and OS — collected transiently for security and rate-limiting. Not stored beyond 90 days.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • To provide portfolio analysis, AI-generated insights, and wealth reports
  • To authenticate you via OTP and manage your account session
  • To process subscription payments and issue receipts via Razorpay
  • To send transactional emails (OTP, payment receipts, report delivery)
  • To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security threats
  • To improve our AI models using anonymised, aggregated data only

6. Data Security

Encryption

All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256 via Supabase).

Row Level Security

Database-layer RLS ensures you can only access your own data.

OTP Authentication

Passwordless login reduces credential theft risk.

Rate Limiting

API endpoints rate-limited to prevent brute-force and abuse.

Webhook Verification

All Razorpay webhooks verified via HMAC-SHA256 signatures.

Dependency Scanning

Automated scanning for known vulnerabilities in dependencies.

Despite our efforts, no system is perfectly secure. In the event of a data breach affecting your rights, we will notify you within 72 hours of discovery as required by DPDPA guidelines.

Business & API Users

9. Business & API Users — Data Handling

If you are a Business User accessing the Service via API, the following additional terms apply:

  • End-client data: You are the Data Fiduciary for any personal data of your end-clients that you pass through our API. You must execute a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with us before processing end-client data. Contact legal@reinforcementanalytics.in.
  • API logs: We retain API request logs (endpoint, timestamp, response code, truncated payload) for 12 months for debugging, security, and billing audit purposes.
  • No AI training on B2B data: Data passed through the API by Business Users is never used to train or fine-tune our AI models.
  • Data isolation: Business accounts have dedicated Supabase Row Level Security policies that fully isolate their data from consumer accounts and other business accounts.

10. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of our sub-processors are located outside India (see Section 5). When we transfer personal data outside India, we do so only:

  • Where the transfer is necessary to provide the Service (e.g., AI processing via Anthropic)
  • With contractual safeguards requiring the recipient to maintain security standards equivalent to Indian law
  • Subject to any countries or sub-processors notified as restricted by the Government of India under DPDPA

We will update this section if any sub-processor is added to a restricted-transfer list under DPDPA regulations and find an alternative or cease transferring data.

12. Children's Privacy

ArthaDNA is not directed at or intended for persons under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, contact us immediately at privacy@reinforcementanalytics.in and we will delete it promptly.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. For material changes — such as new data categories, new purposes, or new sub-processors — we will notify you by email and display a notice on the platform at least 7 days before the change takes effect.

Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
