The alerts and articles we generate are based on public exchange filings. We do not use your personal data to generate them.

We use cookies and your browser's local storage to keep you signed in, remember your preferences and measure visits to our website. These are necessary for the Services to work properly.

Our website shows advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to our website and other websites. You can turn off personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com), and learn more at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. ALFA News also uses Google News services that may set their own cookies.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the Services, such as staying signed in, may stop working.

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only as needed to run the Services, with:

• Payment processing: Razorpay.
• Alert delivery and sign-in: Telegram. Support conversations: WhatsApp (Meta), if you contact us there.
• Email: our email service provider, used to send login links and service emails.
• Hosting and infrastructure: cloud providers that store and run our systems.
• Advertising and Google News services: Google, as described in the section on cookies.
• Authorities: government, regulatory or law enforcement bodies when required by law, or to protect our rights, users or the public.
• A buyer or successor: if our business is merged, acquired or restructured, subject to this Policy.

These providers may only use your data to provide their services to us or as their own privacy policies allow.

Our main systems and databases are hosted on servers in India. Some service providers, such as Google and Telegram, may process data on servers outside India, as permitted by applicable law.

We keep your personal data while your account is active and for as long as needed to provide the Services. After you close your account, we delete or anonymise your data when we no longer need it, except where we must keep it longer to meet legal, tax or accounting obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or enforce our agreements.

We use reasonable security practices to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls that limit who can see personal data, and trusted payment and hosting providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a data breach affects you, we will notify you and the authorities as required by law.

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you and find out how it is used.
• Correct or update inaccurate or incomplete data. Much of it can be edited from your dashboard.
• Ask us to erase your personal data, subject to what we must keep by law.
• Withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect processing that already happened, but we may no longer be able to provide some Services.
• Opt out of promotional messages.
• Nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf in the event of your death or incapacity.
• Raise a grievance with us, and if it is not resolved, with the Data Protection Board of India.

You can deactivate your account from your dashboard. To have your personal data permanently erased, or to exercise any other right, email info@alfafinder.com from your registered email address or include your registered phone number. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

The Services are intended only for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Our Services contain links to websites we do not control, such as BSE, NSE, YouTube and X. This Policy does not apply to them, so please read their privacy policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed. For significant changes we will give notice on the website or through our communication channels.

For any question, request or complaint about your personal data or this Policy, contact our Grievance Officer at info@alfafinder.com or +91 8306362003 (Alfa Finder Private Limited). We will acknowledge your complaint within 48 hours and aim to resolve it within 30 days.
