We are incorporated in India and headquartered in Bangalore, Karnataka. This policy complies with India’s DPDP Act, 2023, the DPDP Rules, 2025, and the IT Rules, 2021.

We use no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking. The consumer app uses a local session token (keeps you logged in), a push notification token (order alerts), location access (only when the app is open and you have granted permission), and crash/error reporting (no personally identifiable data).
