HOW WE PROTECT YOU

Six Pillars of Our Data Handling Practice

Every privacy commitment we make is backed by a specific technical or operational control. From how cookies behave on your device to how long we retain closed-account records, the details below reflect…

Data Collection

We collect only what is necessary: your name, contact details, date of birth, and payment identifiers such as your UPI ID or Paytm mobile number. We do not collect browsing history unrelated to bt24 services.

Cookie Handling

We use session cookies to keep you logged in and analytics cookies to understand which pages load slowest on mobile. You can manage cookie preferences from your account settings page at any time.

Account Security

All account data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. Two-factor authentication is available for your account and we strongly encourage you to enable it.

Data Retention

Active account data is retained for as long as your account remains open. After account closure, we retain only what is legally required — typically transaction records for a defined period — then schedule the remainder for deletion.

Your Rights

You have the right to access the data we hold, correct inaccurate records, request deletion where no legal obligation requires retention, and object to specific processing activities. Submit any of these requests via email or live chat.

Third-Party Sharing

We share data with payment processors like UPI networks, Paytm and PhonePe only to complete transactions. We do not sell your data to advertisers. Any third party we work with is bound by a data processing agreement.

Your Privacy Questions, Answered Clearly

These are the questions we hear most often about how bt24 handles personal data. If your question is not covered here, reach out directly through email or live chat and our team will respond within one working day.

We collect your name, email address, mobile number, date of birth, and the payment identifier you use — such as a UPI ID or Paytm-registered number. We collect only what is needed to operate your account and process transactions.

Your payment identifiers are passed only to the relevant payment network — UPI, Paytm or PhonePe — to complete your transaction. We do not share these details with advertisers, data brokers or any unrelated third parties.

Email our privacy team from your registered address with the subject line 'Data Access Request'. We will verify your identity and send a structured copy of your data within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Yes. Send a deletion request via email or live chat. Where no legal obligation requires us to keep specific records — such as transaction logs — we will schedule your data for deletion and confirm once complete.

After closure we retain only the records we are legally required to keep, such as financial transaction logs. All other profile and behavioural data is deleted on a rolling schedule following the closure date.

We use session cookies for login continuity and analytics cookies to monitor page performance. You can review and adjust your cookie preferences at any time in your account settings without affecting core account functions.

Write to our privacy team via the dedicated email address listed on our contact page. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate to the relevant data protection authority under applicable Indian law.
