We ask  individual Users to identify themselves and the Information requested to be accessed,  corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process  requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate  technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for 

instance, requests concerning Information residing on backup tapes), or for which  access is not otherwise required. In any case, where we provide Information access and  correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a  disproportionate effort. Because of the way we maintain certain services, after you  delete your Information, residual copies may take a period of time before they are  deleted from our active servers and may remain in our backup systems. 

Information storage and backup 

From time to time, we take backup of your data on Lista on our cloud database. This is  done for the purpose of enabling Users to get their data back in case their phone's data  becomes unusable, or phone gets lost, or the User moves to a new phone device. We  also use this backup to provide useful insights and information related to their spends  such as weekly spends in a month, insights related to spend behaviour, etc., and to  provide information related to User spends, patterns and User data in the form of  aggregated and anonymized statistics on data such as User spends by category, date,  time, bank balances, etc. 

 

We shall keep User’s Information in our records till the period of time where we can  potentially offer the Lista Services to the Users. After such period of time where Lista  Services are no more relevant to a User, we remove all the Information pertaining to a  particular User from our records. 

Information security 

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or  alteration, disclosure or destruction of data including accidental or intentional  manipulation, loss from access by unauthorised parties. These include internal reviews  of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures,  including appropriate encryption and physical security measures to guard against  unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. All Information gathered  on the Lista is securely stored within the controlled database. Access to the servers is  password-protected and is strictly limited.

Our security measures are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect technological  developments. Regardless of where your personal information is transferred or stored,  we take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that personal information is kept  secure, however, please understand that no transmission of data over the internet or  any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% (one hundred percent) secure.  

We seek to ensure compliance with the requirements of the applicable data protection  laws to ensure the protection and preservation of the User’s privacy and personal  Information. We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with  the laws prevalent in specific jurisdiction to protect User’s Personal Information. By  accepting the terms of this Policy, you agree that the standards and practices being  implemented by us, are reasonable and sufficient for the protection of your personal  information.

information through usage and log data) which is associated with your device  advertising identifier (IDFA, GAID etc) – this is typically referred to as 'interest based advertising'. We also display contextual advertisements on the Platform  

but these are not targeted to any particular user and does not make use of any  information that personally identifies you or precisely locates you (contextual  advertising is advertising which we target based on the content being viewed, for  example if you are watching a particular sporting event we may serve adverts of  companies or products related to that particular sport or the age-group most  likely to be watching). 

• Research, analyze and understand our audience and what content and  advertising they may view, watch or otherwise engage with, in order to improve  our service (including our user interface experiences and security features);  evaluate your eligibility for certain types of offers, products or services and  market such products or services to you; to perform analytics and conduct  customer research, including general market research or surveying our  customers' needs and opinions on specific issues, generating sales and traffic  patterns, and to analyze advertising effectiveness, both on an anonymous basis  (e.g., by aggregating data) or on an individual basis (if legally permissible), in  combination with other information collected from tracking technologies and  aggregate it with information collected from other Users using our Platform, to  attempt to provide you with the Services and a better experience on the Platform.  For example, one of the ways we use this information is to count the number of  times an advert or other content is viewed because this might be the metric by  which our advertisers pay us.
