How long we keep it
The full retention table is in our Privacy Policy at www.myhumdum.com/privacy. In summary: identity document images are deleted when the check is finished. Your profile is removed from view immediately when you delete your account and deleted or anonymised within 30 days. Some records are kept longer where the law requires it, including registration records for 180 days after closure and payment records for 8 years.
Your rights
You can ask us for a summary of your personal data and how we process it. You can have it corrected, completed, updated or erased. You can nominate someone to exercise these rights if you die or become unable to act. You can raise a grievance with us and we must answer it within 15 days.
Use Settings, or write to privacy@myhumdum.com from your registered email address.
Withdrawing your consent
You can withdraw at any time, and it is as easy as giving it. Go to Settings, then Privacy.
Withdrawing consent for something optional, such as marketing or astrological matching, changes nothing else. Withdrawing consent for your account, profile and verification data means we can no longer provide the Service, so your account will be closed. We will tell you that before we act.
Withdrawal does not undo processing we already carried out lawfully, and it does not affect data we must keep by law or to defend a legal claim.
Complaining
Write to our Grievance Officer, Sourabh Surage, at grievance@myhumdum.com or call +91 70213 95589 between 10:00 and 18:00 IST, Monday to Friday. We acknowledge within 24 hours and answer within 15 days.
If you are still not satisfied, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
