DATA HANDLING PRACTICES

How We Protect and Manage Your Information

y0utube applies technical and organisational measures to keep your data secure, from account login to payment processing.

Data Collection and Use

We collect only the data needed to run your account, process payments through UPI, Paytm and PhonePe, and keep the platform secure. We do not collect data beyond what serves a clear, stated purpose tied to your account or transaction.

Cookie and Tracking Policy

Our platform uses cookies to remember your session, measure how pages perform, and personalise your experience. You can manage cookie preferences from your browser settings at any time, and certain non-essential cookies can be declined without affecting core account functionality.

Account Security Measures

Account access is protected by password hashing, two-factor authentication options, and session timeout controls. We log access events so that if unusual activity appears on your account, our security team can flag it and reach out through your registered contact details.

Data Retention Periods

We keep your account data for as long as your account remains active and for a defined period after closure, as required by applicable law. Transaction records tied to UPI, Paytm and PhonePe payments are retained for the period mandated by financial regulations in your jurisdiction.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request corrections, ask for deletion where legally permitted, and object to certain types of processing. Submit any such request through our privacy email or via an in-account support ticket.

Requesting Changes to Your Record

If your name, contact number, email address or payment details need updating, you can make changes directly from the account settings page or by contacting our support team. Identity verification may be required before certain changes are applied to protect your account.

We collect your name, email address, mobile number, date of birth and any payment details you add — such as your UPI ID or Paytm number. We also log your account activity and transaction history to run the platform securely.

We share data only with service providers who help operate the platform — for example, payment processors handling UPI and PhonePe transactions. These parties are contractually bound to use your data only for the purpose we specify, and not for their own marketing.

After account closure, we retain your data for the period required by applicable law in your jurisdiction. Transaction records linked to UPI, Paytm and PhonePe payments are kept for the duration mandated by financial regulations, then securely deleted.

Submit a data access request via our privacy email or through an in-account support ticket. We will verify your identity, then provide a summary of your personal data within seven working days of receiving your verified request.

Yes, where local law permits deletion, you can submit a request through our privacy contact channels. Some data may need to be retained to meet legal obligations — we will explain clearly which records fall into that category when we respond to your request.

We use session cookies to keep you logged in, analytics cookies to understand page performance, and preference cookies to remember your settings. Non-essential cookies can be turned off in your browser settings without affecting your ability to log in or make payments.

Payment credentials are handled by our payment processing partners, not stored in plain text on our servers. We retain transaction reference records for legal compliance, but your full UPI ID or Paytm credentials are never stored in a way that can be accessed by our support staff directly.
