Saaph.in is a privacy product. Our entire purpose is to remove your data from the internet — so we hold ourselves to a higher standard than most companies. This policy explains exactly what we do and don't do with information you share with us.
Free scan data (your name, phone, email, city) is processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted to our servers. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. We do not show you ads. We do not use tracking pixels or ad networks.
Saaph.in ("we", "us", "our") is an Indian personal data removal service operating at saaph.in. We help individuals discover where their personal data is exposed on Indian and global platforms, and file DPDP Act 2023-compliant removal requests on their behalf.
For the purpose of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, Saaph.in is the Data Fiduciary for data you provide when creating an account. For free scan users, no data fiduciary relationship exists because no data reaches our servers.
When you use the free scan on our homepage, you enter your name, phone number, email address, and city. Here is exactly what happens to that information:
| Data Point | Where It Goes | Sent to Our Servers? |
|---|---|---|
| Full Name | Stored in your browser's localStorage only. Used to simulate scan results on your screen. | No |
| Phone Number | Stored in your browser's localStorage only. Used to display what would be found on platforms like TrueCaller. | No |
| Email Address | Stored in your browser's localStorage only. Used to show data broker exposure simulation. | No |
| City | Stored in your browser's localStorage only. Used to customise scan results by geography. | No |
| Scan Results | Generated locally in your browser based on statistical patterns. Stored in localStorage for the results page. | No |
LocalStorage is a browser feature that stores data on your device — like a cookie, but not transmitted with web requests. Your free scan data lives only on your phone or computer. When you clear your browser data, it's gone. We cannot access it.
The free scan results are illustrative and simulated, based on statistical patterns of data exposure common to Indian users. They are not the result of real-time queries to external platforms. Actual data discovery and verified removal requires creating a Pro account.
When you create an account to use our Pro or Family plan, we collect and securely store:
This data is used only to deliver the service you've paid for: finding your data, filing erasure requests on your behalf, and monitoring re-appearance. We do not use it for any other purpose.
Given that we're a privacy company, we think it's important to be explicit:
We use a minimal set of cookies, all strictly necessary for the service to function:
We do not use advertising cookies, third-party analytics cookies, or any cookie that tracks your activity across other websites. We do not use Google Analytics. Our internal analytics (page views, feature usage) use privacy-preserving, aggregated counts with no personal identifiers.
As an account holder, you have the following rights over data we hold about you:
To exercise any of these rights, email data@saaph.in with the subject "DPDP Rights Request". We will respond within 7 business days and complete any action within 30 days.
We retain your account data for as long as your subscription is active. When you close your account:
Free scan users: since we never receive your data, there is nothing to delete.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect account data:
If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at data@saaph.in.
We will notify affected users and the Data Protection Board of India within the timeframe required by DPDP Act 2023 regulations. We will be transparent about what data was affected and what steps we're taking.
We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices change or when required by law. If we make material changes, we will notify account holders by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the service after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
The effective date at the top of this page shows when this version was last updated. Previous versions are available on request.
