DOOODHWALA Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 June 2026

DOOODHWALA ("we", "us", "our") operates the DOOODHWALA mobile application and website (the "Service"), which connects customers with local milk-delivery vendors ("dairymen" / "milkmen") for daily dairy ordering, delivery tracking, and payments. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

a) Information you provide

DataWhy we collect it

Profile photo (optional)Shown in your profile and chat.
Orders, subscriptions & preferencesTo process daily/recurring milk orders and generate monthly bills.
Chat messages, photos, documents & shared locationsTo enable communication between you and your dairyman.

b) Information collected automatically

DataWhy

App diagnostics / crash dataTo keep the app stable and secure.

c) Payment information

Online payments are processed by Razorpay. We do not collect or store your full card numbers, UPI PIN, or banking credentials — these are handled directly by Razorpay under their own security and PCI-DSS compliance. We retain only a payment reference, amount, status and the related order/bill identifiers to confirm your payment. For Cash on Delivery, we generate a one-time confirmation OTP.

2. How We Use Your Information

We do not use your data for third-party advertising, and we do not sell your personal information.

6. Security

We use industry-standard measures including encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS), OTP-based authentication, and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information and notify you of material breaches as required by law.
