Privacy policy
This policy explains what information Rupya.com (“Rupya”, “we”) handles when you use this website, and the choices you have.
In short
- Calculators, the quiz and My Rupya run in your browser. The numbers you type are not sent to us.
- We receive personal information only when you submit a form.
- The site shows advertising through Google AdSense, which uses cookies.
- We do not sell personal information.
Information you send us
When you submit a form (free advice request, money check-up, newsletter, contact, donation pledge, job application, contest or creator entry) we receive what you enter, such as your name, email address, optional mobile number and city, your answers and your message. Forms are delivered to our inbox by FormSubmit, a form-processing service acting for us.
We use this information to reply to you, send what you asked for, run contests and review applications. If you request an introduction through Rupya Advisor, we tell you which registered professional we propose before sharing your request with them, and share it only with your agreement. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Information stored on your device
Your browser’s storage keeps your light or dark theme, whether you dismissed the cookie notice, results you choose to save, recently used tools, recent IFSC lookups and your best quiz score. Rates fetched by the site are cached briefly to load faster. Calculator inputs may appear in the page address so you can share a result. None of this is sent to us, and you can download or clear it on the My Rupya page.
Advertising and cookies
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners, as third-party vendors, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of some other vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info.
- Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Where the law requires consent for advertising cookies, such as in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, consent is requested through a Google-certified consent message before personalised ads are shown. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser.
Data services the site calls
To show live figures, your browser requests data directly from these services, which receive your IP address as with any web request: ExchangeRate-API and Frankfurter (currency rates), Gold API (gold and silver), CoinGecko (crypto prices) and the Razorpay IFSC service (bank branch lookups). Display fonts load from Google Fonts. Video players use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode and load only when you press play. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages, which logs technical data such as IP addresses for security. Each service has its own privacy policy.
How long we keep information
Form submissions are kept only as long as needed for the purpose you sent them, and contest entries until the contest closes and prizes are settled, unless the law requires longer.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, the EU and UK GDPR and Californian law, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, withdraw consent and complain to a regulator. Use the contact form and choose “Privacy request”.
Children
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security and changes
The site is served over HTTPS and access to submitted information is limited. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We may update this policy as the site changes; the date at the top shows the latest version.
