CreditGuru (developed and operated by DESI LARASATI, hereinafter referred to as "we" or "us") deeply understands the importance of privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of our users. To this end, we have formulated this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your personal information when you use the CreditGuru services, and to outline the privacy rights available to you.

We pledge to consistently and strictly adhere to the principles of lawfulness, fairness, data minimization, and transparency. We will collect and use relevant personal information only with your full knowledge and explicit consent, and strictly limit the scope of collection to what is necessary to achieve the product's core functionalities, enhance service quality, and ensure account and system security. We advise you to read this policy carefully to fully understand our information handling practices and your related rights.

I. CreditGuru Features and Service Description

CreditGuru serves as your online financial advisor. This comprehensive financial assessment tool provides users in India with credit scoring, loan interest rate calculators, financial advice, and credit life guidance. In today's rapidly evolving digital credit society, our goal is to help you effectively manage and plan your finances, empowering you to make more informed financial decisions. Whether you seek to improve your credit score or require professional financial consultation, CreditGuru is here to support you confidently on your financial planning journey.

Please note: The credit scores and suggestions provided by CreditGuru are for informational purposes only. We do not directly engage in financial transactions or lending activities, nor do we represent any bank or lending institution. All financial decisions should be made prudently based on your individual circumstances. For any credit or financial disputes, please contact the relevant institutions directly.

II. Information We Collect to Provide Services

To deliver our services, CreditGuru collects the following types of information:

1. Identity and Basic Information

Includes your name, gender, photograph, education level, contact details (address, email, mobile number), and marital status for assessing your creditworthiness. This data is encrypted and stored on secure servers, used solely for credit analysis and service enhancement.

2. SMS Information

When you use credit assessment-related features, to ensure the accuracy of your credit report, we will access certain SMS information after obtaining your authorization. Please note that we do not automatically read all your SMS content. Only after receiving your explicit consent, we will extract SMS messages related to financial transactions and credit (such as bank notifications, bill reminders) as actually needed. This data helps us more accurately identify credit-related transaction records (such as bank deposits, credit card bills, loan repayment reminders, and EMI debit notifications), thereby building a more comprehensive and accurate credit report for you. The obtained information will be encrypted and uploaded to https://tands.professionalassessmentandsafe.com/. You can manage or revoke this permission at any time in the app settings. Once revoked, we will immediately stop collecting the relevant data.

3. Financial Data

To assess your credit score and fulfill your requests, we collect your bank information, credit/debit card details, and digital wallet information (where applicable).

4. Call Log Information

To complete your account registration and secure login via voice verification code, we need to access your call log information (including phone numbers, call duration, etc.). This information will primarily be used to receive voice verification codes for secure login. It will be encrypted and uploaded to https://tands.professionalassessmentandsafe.com/. We place high importance on your data security—all information will be encrypted, stored, and kept strictly confidential. You can manage or revoke this authorization at any time in the app settings.

5. Device Information

To secure account logins (e.g., detecting abnormal devices) and optimize your experience, we collect device-related data such as model, OS version, Android ID, IP address, and other identifiers. This information is used for analytics and system operations, not for direct personal identification.

6. Installed Application Information

With your authorization, we read basic data about some apps on your device (e.g., app name, package name, installation time) to assess the security environment and improve credit evaluation accuracy. We do not access any account, operational, or content data within those apps. This information is encrypted and stored at https://tands.professionalassessmentandsafe.com/. You can manage or revoke this permission in app settings; revocation may affect certain risk-control features but not core services.

7. Camera/Photo Gallery Permission

Required for credit assessment or customer service features to capture/upload photos/videos for identity verification and comprehensive credit scoring via authorized third-party data.

8. Location Information

With your consent, we may collect your approximate geographic location (not precise) to provide tailored service recommendations and assist in credit assessment. This is used for analysis and optimization, not real-time tracking.

9. Contact List Information

When using CreditGuru, you will be required to provide emergency contact information, including a phone number, contact name, and relationship. This will be facilitated by displaying your device's system contact picker, through which you can actively select a contact. Please note that we do not access or collect your entire address book. The information you provide is used to assist with identity verification and to help ensure the accuracy of your credit report. All collected data is securely encrypted and uploaded to our security center at https://tands.professionalassessmentandsafe.com for storage. Without your explicit consent, we will not share your data with any unrelated third parties other than the lending institutions to which you apply, nor will we sell or disclose your user data.

10. Google Advertising Identifier (GAID)

We collect your GAID to optimize advertising effectiveness and provide you with more relevant product and service recommendations.

11. Social Account Information

With your authorization, we collect your social media account details for interest-based analytics, personalized recommendations, and product optimization. This data is encrypted and stored at https://tands.professionalassessmentandsafe.com/.

III. Purposes of Information Collection

Your information is used for purposes including, but not limited to:

  • Determining your eligibility for our services.
  • Enabling core service features, which may involve sharing information you choose to provide with other users at your own risk.
  • Maintaining, improving, and analyzing our services and proprietary methods.

IV. Data Security and Protection

We implement stringent data security measures to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your personal information:

🛡️

👥

Employee Access Control

Access to personal data is restricted to employees needing it to perform their duties, all of whom receive security training.

While we strive to protect your information using industry-leading standards, no system is entirely impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

V. Data Sharing

CreditGuru values your privacy and does not share your data with third parties as a general rule. We will not disclose your information to external parties without your explicit authorization.

However, to improve service quality and user experience, we may engage trusted third-party service providers. Any data sharing will be strictly limited to what is necessary for service delivery and will only occur with your explicit consent, giving you full control over participation.

We may share your information with the following authorized partners as needed for core functionalities, within the bounds of your consent and the law:

All sharing is governed by strict contractual agreements requiring recipients to maintain equivalent security standards and use data only for specified purposes. We will never sell, rent, or disclose your personal information for unrelated purposes.
