Privacy & Data Protection Notice

Your privacy, plainly and respectfully.

Caring for someone you love means placing personal trust in us. This policy explains what information we collect, why we need it, who can access it, and your legal rights under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. We write it in simple, honest words.

  • DPDP Act, 2023 Compliant
  • Zero Ads or Data Brokering
  • Encrypted In Transit & At Rest
  • Last Updated: October 2026

1. What we collect

At A Glance

We only ask for details strictly necessary to coordinate safe, respectful elder care in Chennai. We never collect financial passwords or sell your details.

  • About you (the requester): Your name, phone number, relationship to the person who needs care (e.g. parent, spouse, self), and communication preferences.
  • About the loved one receiving care: Their name, age, gender (if provided), and mobility or medical notes that allow us to match the right caregiver.
  • Where care is delivered: Your neighborhood, Chennai pincode, and complete physical address once a quotation is accepted, so our verified caregiver can reach your home safely.
  • Service & Schedule requirements: Requested service type (Personal Care, Companionship, Recovery Support), visit schedule (one-time or recurring days), and preferred time windows.
  • Payment & Billing records: Transaction amounts, receipt identifiers, timestamps, and payment statuses via Razorpay. We do not process or store credit card numbers or banking credentials.
  • Visit Verification: To guarantee visits take place, caregivers log GPS-assisted check-ins upon arrival and departure, alongside verified OTP codes provided by the family.

2. Why we use it

At A Glance

Your information is used solely to arrange, deliver, verify, and improve elder care visits. We do not use your personal information for marketing ads.

  • To call you for an initial assessment, understand care requirements, and formulate an accurate quote.
  • To lock in a suitable caregiver using our 100-point matching algorithm (skill, language, location proximity).
  • To send vital service notifications (caregiver arrival alerts, digital visit logs, payment receipts) via WhatsApp or SMS.
  • To maintain safety standards, verify caregiver attendance, and provide audit trails for families living out of town or abroad.

3. Who can see your information

At A Glance

Access is restricted strictly on a need-to-know basis. Caregivers only see patient identity and address after accepting the assignment.

  • Neyo Care Consultants: Authorized care coordinators access records to manage assessments, caregiver dispatch, and customer support.
  • Assigned Caregiver: Before acceptance, caregivers see only the general area (e.g. Adyar) and timing. Full name and house address are only revealed once the assignment is formally locked in.
  • Essential Infrastructure Partners: Cloud hosting (Amazon Web Services, Mumbai ap-south-1 region), payment processing (Razorpay India), and messaging delivery (Meta Cloud API / SMS gateway). All partners are bound by strict enterprise confidentiality agreements.

4. 48-Hour Caregiver Hold & Overlap Prevention

At A Glance

We do not take your money without a guaranteed caregiver. Your match is reserved for 48 hours while you review the quote.

Neyo Care operates on an Availability-First model. When an assessment is completed, our system places a temporary 48-hour reservation hold on the matched caregiver's schedule. Overlap prevention algorithms prevent the caregiver from being assigned to any competing request during this window. If a quote is not accepted within 48 hours, the hold is safely released back into the pool.

5. How long we keep information

At A Glance

Data is retained only as long as necessary for active care and legal obligations, then anonymized or deleted.

We retain operational records while you have an active account or ongoing visits. Tax and payment transaction records are retained for the statutory period mandated by Indian accounting regulations. Once retention requirements expire, personal data is either irreversibly erased or anonymized for clinical quality auditing.

6. Security & Infrastructure Safeguards

At A Glance

Enterprise encryption, passwordless OTP authentication, and automated audit trails protect your information.

  • Encryption: All web traffic is strictly encrypted over TLS 1.3 in transit, and database backups are encrypted at rest using AES-256.
  • Passwordless Authentication: Customer and caregiver accounts use time-sensitive, single-use mobile OTP codes with automated rate-limiting to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Separation of Environments: Test and development environments operate strictly with synthetic test data; live customer health notes are isolated on production infrastructure.

7. Cookies & Session Storage

We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. Our web portal uses secure, first-party browser tokens strictly to keep you authenticated across pages and store your language preference (EN/TA). Fonts are loaded securely from Google Fonts CDN.

8. Your Rights Under India's DPDP Act, 2023

Statutory Rights

You have full legal control over your personal data under Indian law. We provide self-service tools in the Customer Portal.

  • Right to Access & Summary: You may request a machine-readable digital export of all personal and health information Neyo Care holds about you.
  • Right to Correction & Updating: You may update inaccurate medical notes, addresses, or contact details at any time.
  • Right to Erasure: You can request permanent erasure of your personal records, subject only to statutory tax or legal retention duties.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: You may revoke consent for non-essential notifications at any moment without penalty.
  • Right to Nominate: You have the right to nominate an authorized family representative to exercise these data rights on your behalf in the event of incapacity.

To exercise any of these rights, submit a request via our Privacy Request Portal or message our Care Coordinator directly.
