- Omnichannel Transactional Data: The Firm aggregates operational transaction histories spanning both physical point-of-sale (POS) terminal showrooms and online e-commerce checkout funnels. This includes itemised billing, gross/net weight metrics, Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Hallmark unique identification (HUID) logs, making charges, and associated tax break-ups (CGST, SGST, IGST).
- Digital Footprint & Financial Identifiers: For web-based transactions, the platform records credit/debit card structures (tokenized under Reserve Bank of India mandates), Unified Payments Interface (UPI) handles, Net Banking logs, geolocation coordinates, IP addresses, and device signatures to enforce multi-factor risk checks.
-
Specified Purposes of Data Processing & Legal Bases
- Consent and Performance of Contract: Personal identifiers are processed on the lawful basis of explicit user consent and performance of contract to generate legally compliant tax invoices, process electronic payments, and arrange secure third-party door-to-door transit logistics.
- Statutory Mandates over Consent: Pursuant to the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, data processing is sustained without explicitly requiring dynamic withdrawal options where processing is mandatory under prevailing law. This explicitly includes the Income Tax Act, 1961 (for cash transaction caps and PAN mapping) and PMLA reporting requirements.
-
Restricted Information Sharing and Disclosures
- CFinancial and Logistics Intermediaries: Data sharing is confined to RBI-regulated payment gateways, scheduled commercial banking networks, and government-approved insured logistics partners. All such entities are bound by strict non-disclosure pacts.
- Law Enforcement and Sovereign Disclosure: The Firm is legally unbound to provide prior notice to the data principal when disclosing records to the Financial Intelligence Unit - India (FIU-IND), the Income Tax Department, or judicial law enforcement authorities acting under valid warrants.
-
Data Retention and Override of Erasure Rights
- Statutory Retention Windows: To conform with Section 12 of the PMLA, 2002, all transactional ledgers, identity verifications, and KYC credentials will be preserved in highly secure, encrypted offline storage arrays for a rigid minimum duration of five (5) years starting from the date of the transaction or termination of the account relationship.
- Suspension of the Right to be Forgotten: The right to personal data erasure or data principal deletion under the DPDP Act, 2023, is legally suspended and structurally overridden regarding any data item linked to a certified precious metals transaction, due to overriding sovereign anti-tax-evasion and anti-money-laundering storage mandates.
