Privacy Policy

Introduction

We at ‘Akal Information Systems Ltd.' are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognise your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you share with us. This privacy policy applies to your use of the Services of TankhaPay (as defined under "Terms of Use"), TankhaPay applications on mobile platforms (Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, iOS, etc.), and the website of TankhaPay hosted at (www.tankhapay.com) {collectively ("TankhaPay" being the mobile App / Technology platform developed, owned and operated by M/s Akal Information Systems Ltd)}, but does not apply to any third party websites that may be linked to them.

This Privacy Policy applies to the TankhaPay App and website. Throughout these terms, "WE", "OUR", "US", “TankhaPay”, and “APP/ WEBSITE” refer to “TankhaPay”, and the terms "YOU", "YOUR", and "USER" refer to users of TankhaPay. Its usage will be subject to "Privacy Policy" and ""Terms of Use"", which the user affirmatively accepts by using our App/Website.

The term "Personal Information" means any information that may be used to contact and identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address, and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. Our practices and procedures in relation to the collection and use of Personal Information have been set out to ensure the safe usage of the Website for You.

The App/ Website collects biometric data through our facial recognition feature for clocking in and out if the employer has opted for this method. The facial biometric data is solely used to enable attendance-related services and for no other purposes. The registered facial data is retained as long as the employee of the user is active and requires facial recognition for attendance. This data will be deleted when the employee is removed by the Account Owner. Additionally, the Account Owner has the option to delete the registered facial data of any active employee if it is no longer necessary for organizational processes.

We have implemented reasonable security practices and procedures that are commensurate with the information assets being protected and with the nature of Our business. While we try our best to provide security but because of the inherent vulnerabilities of the internet, we cannot ensure or warrant the complete security of all information being transmitted to Us by You.

Since the transaction happens on a third-party network not controlled by TankhaPay, once an online transaction has been completed, the Personal Account Related Information is not accessible to anyone at TankhaPay after completion of the online transaction at the payment gateway; this ensures maximum security.

TankhaPay shall not be liable for any loss or damage sustained by reason of any disclosure (inadvertent or otherwise) of any information concerning the User's account and/or information relating to or regarding online transactions using credit cards/debit cards and/or their verification process and particulars nor for any error, omission or inaccuracy with respect to any information so disclosed and used whether or not in pursuance of a legal process or otherwise.
