Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how wywallet.com.in collects, uses, stores and protects information when you visit our website, read our guides, browse our blog or contact us. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices.
📌 Summary (Read This First)
We are an independent informational website about the WyWallet app. We do not operate any wallet, do not process any payment, and do not ask for any sensitive information such as OTP, password, UPI PIN or bank details.
We only collect basic, non-sensitive information that is necessary to run our website, understand how users read our content and respond to messages you send us. We never sell your data to anyone.
If you are looking for the privacy policy of the WyWallet app itself, you must check the app's own official privacy policy — this page only covers wywallet.com.in, our independent informational website.

Who We Are
Basic identification of this website
wywallet.com.in is an independent informational website created to help Indian users understand the WyWallet app, its features, download process, registration, login, P2P trading model, referral system, withdrawal process and safety practices.
We are not the developers, owners, operators or official representatives of any app, wallet or financial service. We are a content and information website only.
This Privacy Policy applies only to wywallet.com.in. It does not apply to any app, service or third-party website you may visit through links on our site.

Third-Party Services
External services we may use
Like most websites, we rely on a small number of trusted third-party services to keep our website running. These services may have limited access to certain technical information as part of providing their functionality.
- Web Hosting Provider — stores our website files and serves pages to visitors
- Analytics Tools — help us understand basic visitor behavior (page views, time on page)
- Email Service — used to receive and reply to messages from our contact form
- Content Delivery Network (CDN) — may be used to speed up loading of images or scripts
- Form Processing Service — processes contact form submissions and forwards them to our email
Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy. We choose providers that are widely used and follow reasonable data protection standards. However, we do not control their internal practices, so we encourage you to review their policies if you have concerns.
Our website may contain links to external websites (like app download pages or community channels). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices or security of those external sites. Visiting them is at your own discretion.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
When and how we share information
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to anyone. This is a strict policy. Your data is only shared in the very limited situations described below:
We may share information only when:
- Required by law — if a valid legal request is made by a competent authority
- To protect rights — if necessary to protect the safety, rights or property of our website or users
- With service providers — trusted third-party services that help us run the website (as described in Section 6)
- In case of business transfer — if our website is ever sold or transferred, information may be part of that transfer (you would be notified)
We do NOT share information:

- With data brokers or analytics resellers
- With any app, wallet or financial service mentioned on this website

Data Retention
How long we keep information
We retain information only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. Here is our general retention approach:
| Type of Information | Retention Period |
|---|---|

| Email correspondence | Up to 24 months for reference purposes |
| Anonymous analytics data | Usually up to 26 months (per analytics provider policy) |
| Server log files | Usually 30 to 90 days |
After the retention period ends, information is either deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be linked to any individual.
Data Security
How we protect information
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information we collect. These measures include:
- Using HTTPS (SSL/TLS) to encrypt data in transit
- Choosing reputable hosting providers with strong security practices
- Limiting access to contact form submissions to only necessary team members
- Regularly reviewing our website for security issues
- Keeping our website software and dependencies up to date
While we do our best to protect information, no website or online service can guarantee complete security. Please avoid sending sensitive information through any online form, including ours. If you need to share something confidential, consider whether it is truly necessary first.
