3. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as necessary to deliver our services and meet legal obligations, including with:

• Government and statutory portals — such as the Income Tax e-Filing portal, GST Network, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), and the Intellectual Property India (IP India) registry, as required to complete your filing or registration;

4. Data retention

We retain your information for as long as needed to provide our services and to comply with legal, tax, and professional record-keeping requirements, which may extend for several years after an engagement ends as mandated by applicable law. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it.

5. How we protect your information

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to safeguard your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. While we take security seriously, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please share sensitive documents only through the channels we direct you to, and avoid sending sensitive financial data over unsecured channels.
