DATA HANDLING PRACTICES

How We Protect and Manage Your Data

Every aspect of data handling at sm20 — from the moment you enter your UPI ID to the moment a withdrawal clears to your Paytm wallet — follows a structured internal process.

Cookie Policy

We use session cookies to keep you logged in and analytics cookies to understand page load times. You can manage cookie preferences from the banner that appears on your first visit to sm20.net.

Data Retention Schedule

Account data is retained while your account is active and for up to five years after closure, in line with Indian financial record-keeping norms. Payment logs linked to UPI or PhonePe follow the same schedule.

Account Security Measures

We use two-factor authentication, encrypted password storage and automatic session timeouts to prevent unauthorised access to your account data. You can review active sessions in your account settings at any time.

Third-Party Data Sharing

We share your data only with payment processors (UPI, Paytm, PhonePe networks) and fraud-detection partners strictly to operate your account. No data is shared for advertising or sold to marketing companies.

Your Rights Under This Policy

You may request a full copy of your data, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or request deletion of records we are not legally required to keep. All requests are handled by our privacy team within 14 days.

Policy Update Notification

When we update this privacy policy, we will post the revised version on sm20.net with a new effective date and, for material changes, send a notification to your registered email address.
