DP DigiParchi

Privacy Policy

Effective September 2026

1. Information we collect

DigiParchi ("we", "our") operates on a zero-telecom SMS and zero-cost local commerce model. We collect your mobile phone number, name, delivery address, optional landmark, and approximate location coordinates only during order placement or when a merchant sets their store pin on a map.

We do not request, read, or store your SMS messages (NO READ_SMS), background location (NO ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION), or private storage (NO MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE).

1b. Photos, camera & location

Profile / store photos in the DigiParchi Buyer and Partner Android apps use the system Photo Picker only. We do not request broad gallery access (NO READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / NO READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) and do not use advertising IDs (NO AD_ID).

Buyer app does not use the device camera (NO CAMERA). QR codes use Google Play's Code Scanner API without a camera permission.

Camera (when used outside those apps — e.g. web or delivery partner flows) is only for deliberate capture of: (a) handwritten order slips / bills, (b) doorstep payment confirmation screens as proof of settlement, or (c) damage-claim photos. Images are compressed on-device; we do not access the camera in the background.

Approximate location (foreground / coarse only) may be used in the Buyer app to show nearby stores and sort nearest first, and to set a shop map pin. We show an in-app disclosure before asking for permission. We do not track you continuously and do not use background location.

2. Payments & financial data

DigiParchi charges 0% software commission on customer–merchant goods value. Doorstep payments occur peer-to-peer via local instant pay, bank transfer, or cash on delivery. We do not store credit card numbers, debit card PINs, or payment app PINs. Optional Merchant Pass covers software access only — not payment-gateway fees.

2b. Merchant Pass (B2B SaaS — outside Google Play Billing)

Optional Merchant Pass subscription for store owners is a separate B2B SaaS license for physical-goods commerce tooling. It is purchased only on the external web portal at /billing (instant pay / bank transfer). It is not a Google Play In-App Purchase, not a digital content unlock inside the Android apps, and not sold through Play Billing.

3. Image retention & auto-purge

Photographs of handwritten slips, payment proofs, and damage claim photos are compressed client-side. Resolved dispute photos are automatically purged after 15 days; order and ledger audit rows remain without the image file.

4. Account deletion & rights

You may permanently delete your account at any time via digiparchi.dkji.in/delete-account (select your country and national mobile number). We anonymize phone, name, address, location, payment handles, profile photos, and push tokens, and revoke active sessions. Merchants outside India may settle subscriptions via bank transfer or the configured card payment link rather than UPI.

5. Safe commerce

In compliance with Google Play policies, DigiParchi prohibits tobacco, smokeless tobacco, vapes, alcohol, and restricted pharmaceuticals. Violating stores face immediate termination. DigiParchi facilitates ordering of physical goods only — not digital goods sold inside the app.
