2. What we acknowledge / when

  • Acknowledgement: within 24 hours of receipt (IT Rules 2021 §3(2)).
  • Resolution: within 15 days of acknowledgement, or sooner where mandated for content takedowns.
  • Escalation: if unresolved or you disagree with the outcome, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India (once notified) or your local data-protection authority.

3. What to include

  • Your registered email so we can verify the account
  • A concise description of the issue, dates, and any account ids involved
  • Supporting evidence — screenshots, transaction ids, error messages

For DPDPA rights requests (access, correction, erasure, portability, withdrawal of consent), please use /account/privacy — it routes the request to the privacy team with verified-identity context, which speeds the response.

4. Content takedowns

If you believe content on the platform infringes your rights, send a written notice identifying the work, the location of the infringing content, and your contact details. Counter-notices are accepted under the IT Rules safe-harbour framework.
