HOW WE UPHOLD THESE TERMS

Data, Security and Account Rights Under Our Policy

Every commitment in these terms is backed by concrete operational practices — here is how we handle the areas that matter most to your account.

Data Handling

We collect only the data necessary to verify your identity, process transactions via UPI and Paytm, and comply with applicable Indian regulations. Your data is never sold to third parties or used for purposes outside your account.

Cookie Policy

Cookies on thambola are used to keep your session active, remember your preferred payment method — whether Paytm or PhonePe — and measure which parts of the platform you use most, so we can improve them.

Account Security

Your account is protected by two-factor authentication and session-timeout rules. Any login from an unrecognised device triggers an email alert so you can confirm or block the access immediately.

Data Retention

We retain your account and transaction records for the period required by applicable Indian financial regulations. After your account is closed, anonymised data may be held for up to seven years for audit purposes.

Right to Request Changes

You can request a correction to your personal data at any time via email or live chat. We process correction requests within five working days and confirm the change in writing to your registered email address.

Complaints and Escalation

If our support team cannot resolve your term-related dispute, you may escalate in writing to our compliance contact. We acknowledge escalations within two working days and issue a final decision letter within 14 days.
