Automatically
- Basic technical data needed to run the service securely (app version, device and network information, error and security logs).
- We do not use advertising trackers and we do not sell or rent personal data.
2. How we use it
- To create your account and sign you in.
- To show prices, find the nearest available partner, run the trip (OTPs, live tracking, calls) and complete delivery.

- For customer support, and to send you service messages about your bookings.
- To improve the service using statistics that do not identify you.
We process your data because you asked us to provide the service and gave consent when you signed up, and where required to comply with law. You can withdraw consent at any time (see section 7); some features will then stop working.
3. Who we share it with
| With | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your delivery partner | Pickup/stop/drop addresses and locations; sender and receiver names and numbers; payable amount | To pick up and deliver your goods |
| Customer, sender and receiver | Partner's name, photo, mobile number, vehicle number and live location during the trip | So they know who is coming and can track the goods |
| Receiver (tracking link) | Trip status, partner location during the trip, delivery OTP | To receive the goods safely |
| Your company (Pitthu Business) | Trips booked on company credit, who booked them, delivery proof | Monthly billing |
| Google (Firebase, Google Cloud, Google Maps Platform) | App data, sign-in, notifications, addresses and locations for search and routes | Hosting, database, OTP sign-in and maps |
| Zoho (email) | Emails you send to support@pitthu.in | Customer support |
| Payment partner (e.g. Razorpay), when used | Amount and payment details you enter on their page | To process online payments and wallet recharges. We do not store card or UPI PINs. |
| Government, police, courts | As required | Only when the law requires it or to protect someone's safety |
These service providers process data for us under their own security and privacy commitments. Some of their servers may be outside India. If Pitthu is ever merged or sold, your data may move to the new owner under this same policy.
4. Location
- Customers: with your permission, your location is used to fill your current address and show nearby places first in search. It is not tracked in the background.
- Delivery partners: while you are online, the Pitthu Partner app collects your location even when the app is closed or not in use, to send you nearby orders, and during a trip to show your live position to the customer. A notification "Pitthu Partner is online" is shown the whole time. Location collection stops when you go offline.
- Your latest location is stored on your partner profile; trip locations are stored with that trip.
5. How long we keep it
- Account data: while your account is active. After you ask us to delete your account we delete or anonymise it, usually within 30 days.
- Bookings, invoices, wallet and payment records: kept as required by GST and income-tax law (generally up to 8 years), even after account deletion.
- Partner verification documents and safety records (complaints, SOS, blocks): kept up to 3 years after the account is closed, to handle disputes, fraud and police requests, and then deleted.
- Security logs: at least one year, as required by law.
6. Security
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and stored on Google Cloud. Access is limited by security rules so that customers and partners can see only their own data, and only our authorised team can see verification documents. OTPs, prices and payments are checked on our server. No system is 100% secure; if a data breach affects you, we will inform you and the authorities as the law requires.
7. Your rights
You can ask us to:
- give you a summary of your personal data and how we use it;
- correct or update wrong or incomplete data (you can also edit your profile in the app);
- delete your data and account — how to delete your account;
- withdraw your consent;
- nominate a person to act for you in case of death or incapacity;
- resolve a grievance (section 10).
Write to support@pitthu.in with your registered mobile number, or use Help & Support in the app. We may verify your identity before acting. If you are not satisfied with our reply, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India.
8. Children
Pitthu is meant for people aged 18 or above. We do not knowingly collect data of children. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version. For important changes we will inform you in the app.
