Privacy Policy
Last Updated: [28-Sept 2025]
At Garnar Technologies Private Limited (“we”, “our”, or “us”), your trust matters the most. When you use Kosham (the “App” or the “Platform”), you are sharing important information with us. We respect that trust and are committed to protecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal information. Please read it carefully so you know exactly what happens with your data.
By using Kosham, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, you may choose not to use the App — but we’d love for you to stay with us.

- Information you share with us directly.
- Information we collect automatically when you use the App.
- Information received from trusted third parties (like exchanges and AMCs).
- It does not apply to companies or services we don’t own or control, or to individuals we don’t employ.
2. What information do we collect?
We collect three kinds of information:

- Send important communication about your transactions, updates, or regulatory changes.

Yes, but only when necessary and with trusted, SEBI-regulated entities:
- NSE (National Stock Exchange): For executing investment transactions.
- AMCs (Asset Management Companies): For mutual fund purchases and redemptions.

We may also share information:
- For legal reasons: To comply with laws, regulations, or valid requests by public authorities.
- During business changes: If Garnar Technologies is merged, acquired, or undergoes restructuring, user data may be transferred securely.
- We do not sell your information to advertisers or unrelated third parties.
5. Transfer of data
Your data may be stored and processed outside your state or country (but always within India for regulatory compliance). By using Kosham, you agree to such transfers, provided they are secure and lawful.
6. How do we secure your data?
We take security seriously. Here’s what we do:
- All data is transmitted in encrypted form.

- Servers are hosted in secure virtual private clouds (VPCs).
- Token-based authentication for APIs and CORS policies.
- Passwords are hashed using industry-standard encryption.

- While we work hard to protect your data, no system can guarantee absolute security.
7. What can you access or update?
Through your account settings, you can view and update:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Password
- Some data (like PAN or Aadhaar) may not be editable due to regulatory requirements, but you can always reach out to our support team for corrections.
8. Your choices
- You can choose not to provide certain information, but this may limit your ability to use Kosham.
- You can unsubscribe from promotional communications anytime.
- You can request access or deletion of your data, subject to legal and regulatory limits.
- Even if you close your account, we may retain certain records as required by SEBI and tax regulations.
9. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do:
