Privacy Policy & Terms

Last updated: April 2025 · Version 1.0 · Applies to ownorinvest.com

Short version — what actually mattersWe collect your WhatsApp number to deliver your report, and your simulation inputs to generate it. We do not share your data with anyone without your explicit consent — and when we do share (for the optional home loan referral), we tell you exactly who, exactly what, before you decide. You can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing privacy@ownorinvest.com.

Reports are non-refundable once delivered to WhatsApp. If delivery fails on our side, you get a full refund.

1. What we collect

We collect the minimum data needed to provide the service. Nothing more.

Data collectedWhenWhy
WhatsApp numberAt paymentDeliver your PDF report and identify your 24-hour session across devices
Payment reference IDAt payment (from Razorpay)Confirm payment, issue your report reference number (RPT-YYYYMMDD-XXXX)
Simulation inputsWhen you run the simulationGenerate your personalised PDF report
Disclaimer acknowledgementOn first simulation runLegal record that you understood this tool is not financial advice (timestamped, versioned)
Session tokenAfter payment confirmedRestore your 24-hour session on any device
Report reference numberAfter payment confirmedLink your payment, report, affiliate consent, and any support queries
What we do NOT collect: Your name, email address, Aadhaar, PAN, or any government identity — unless you voluntarily provide it in the optional home loan referral form. We do not store your payment card details. Payments are processed entirely by Razorpay — we only receive a payment confirmation and reference ID.

2. Why we collect it

WhatsApp number — to send you your PDF report and to identify your session when you return within 24 hours on any device.

Simulation inputs — to generate your personalised report. Stored so we can regenerate if delivery fails.

Disclaimer acknowledgement — a legal record, timestamped and versioned, that you agreed this tool is a calculator and not financial advice. This protects both you and us.

Payment data — financial audit trail for our records, for Razorpay compliance, and to process refunds where applicable.

3. Third parties we share with — without your consent

We share data with the following service providers to operate the platform. None of these parties may use your data for their own marketing or profiling purposes.

Data collectedWhenWhy
RazorpayPayment amount, WhatsApp numberProcess your ₹99 payment securely. Razorpay is PCI-DSS compliant.
WATI / WhatsApp Business APIWhatsApp number, PDF download linkDeliver your report on WhatsApp within 1 hour of payment.
SupabaseAll session and payment data listed aboveSecure database and file storage. Hosted in Singapore (ap-southeast-1).
VercelServer access logs (IP, timestamp)Host the application. Logs are retained for 30 days and not used for profiling.

We do not sell your data. We do not allow any processor to use your data for purposes beyond operating this service.

4. The home loan referral — explicit consent only

After your report is delivered, you may see an optional offer to connect with a home loan specialist. This is entirely separate from your report — it has no bearing on anything you have paid for.

We will never share your data with any lender without your explicit, separate consent.Your data from the report payment does not automatically go to any lender. Ever.

If you choose to consent and fill in the referral form, the following happens:

  • We share with BankBazaar (our current lending partner): your name, WhatsApp number, city, employment type, approximate monthly income, and loan requirement from your simulation.
  • BankBazaar or one of their lending partners may contact you by phone or WhatsApp within 24 hours.
  • You can opt out of further contact by replying STOP to any WhatsApp message from them.
  • We receive a referral commission if you proceed to take a loan through their platform. We disclose this so you understand our incentive.

Our current lending partner: BankBazaar. If this changes, this policy will be updated and the consent form will name the new partner before you consent.

5. Refund policy

The core principle: pay for delivery, not just access.You pay ₹99 for a delivered PDF report and 24-hour access to the full analysis. Once the report is delivered to your WhatsApp, the service is fully rendered — like a downloaded file or a meal that has been served. Refunds are not available after delivery.

✓ You are entitled to a full refund if:

  • Payment is confirmed but your PDF report is not delivered to WhatsApp within 1 hour
  • A technical error on our side prevents the simulation from generating
  • You are charged twice for the same session

✗ Refunds are not available if:

  • Your PDF report has been delivered to WhatsApp
  • You entered an incorrect WhatsApp number (we will resend to the correct number as a goodwill gesture)
  • You are unhappy with the simulation result — the maths reflects your inputs
  • Your 24-hour session has expired

To request a refund, email privacy@ownorinvest.com with your report reference number (RPT-YYYYMMDD-XXXX) and payment ID from Razorpay. We will respond within 24 hours.
