1. Introduction & Operating Entity

This Privacy Policy describes how Roguetrove Ventures (OPC) Private Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Company", "we", "us", or "our"), an entity incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, with its operating address at Kudlu, Bangalore, Karnataka, India, collects, processes, uses, and safeguards information obtained through your access to and use of the website located at https://beggingai.com ("Platform" or "BeggingAI").

We are committed to maintaining transparent, responsible, and secure data handling practices in compliance with applicable Indian data protection laws, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA), as applicable.

By visiting the Platform or making a voluntary payment, you signify your acceptance of the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not access or use our Platform.

2. Information We Actually Collect

We believe in data minimization and only collect information that is strictly necessary to deliver the interactive digital entertainment experience, maintain security, and fulfill legal compliance:

A. Voluntarily Submitted Contributor Information

• Display Name: A chosen name or nickname voluntarily entered into the post-payment acknowledgment field (e.g., for optional display on the Recent Enablers or Leaderboard feeds).
• Public Display Preference: Whether you opt-in to display your contribution publicly or remain anonymous.
• Support Communications: Name, email address, transaction reference, and correspondence content when you contact us at hello@beggingai.com.

B. Transaction & Payment Reference Records

• Payment Gateway References: PhonePe Transaction ID, Order Reference ID, transaction amount in INR, payment status (completed/failed), and timestamp.
• Selected Interaction Tier: The specific contribution level selected (e.g., ₹10, ₹29, ₹49, ₹99, ₹499, or custom amount).

C. Technical & Session Information

• Device & Network Data: Browser type, operating system, device class, and general network telemetry.
• Hashed IP Data: One-way hashed IP representations utilized solely for temporary rate-limiting and DDoS/abuse prevention.
• Local Browser Storage: We use client-side HTML5 LocalStorage solely to remember your visual theme preference (begging_theme: light or dark) and prevent repetitive comedy poster variants (begging_poster_history). We do not use third-party advertising tracking cookies.

4. Purpose & Usage of Collected Information

We process collected data exclusively for lawful purposes:

• To verify, reconcile, and record one-time digital contribution transactions;
• To deliver real-time digital entertainment interactions (timer extensions, animations, character dialogue updates);
• To display public supporter acknowledgments on the enablers board in accordance with your explicit preferences;
• To maintain accurate financial, taxation, and statutory accounting records as required under Indian law;
• To investigate technical bugs, duplicate charges, or payment inquiries submitted to customer support;
• To deliver optional post-payment complimentary digital rewards and promotional courtesy offers; and
• To protect the website against malicious automated bots, fraudulent activities, and security threats.

5. Public Display of Contributor Information

When you complete a voluntary payment, you are given the choice to enter a display name and select whether your contribution should be displayed publicly on the Recent Enablers feed or the Hall of Questionable Generosity leaderboard.

If you check the box to allow public display, your submitted display name and contribution amount will be visible to other visitors. If you do not enter a name or uncheck the box, your contribution will be labeled as "Anonymous Human".

You may request removal or anonymization of any publicly displayed name at any time by emailing hello@beggingai.com with your transaction details.

6. Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party advertisers or data brokers. We share minimal transaction data only with essential infrastructure providers:

• PhonePe: For secure payment gateway processing and transaction verification.
• Cloud & Web Hosting Infrastructure: For reliable website uptime and database storage.
• Legal & Regulatory Authorities: Only when strictly required by enforceable judicial process or applicable statutory law.

External Promotional Links: When you view or click an external link to a third-party merchant offer presented in the post-payment Bonus Drop, you are navigating to an external website governed by that third party's independent privacy policy. BeggingAI does not transmit your personal identifying information or payment details to any third-party coupon merchant.

7. Data Retention & Security Precautions

We maintain reasonable technical, operational, and physical security safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Transaction records are retained only as long as necessary for tax compliance, accounting audits, dispute resolution, and statutory obligations under Indian law.

8. Your Rights & Consent

By using the Platform, you consent to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You have the right to access, review, update, or request the deletion/anonymization of personal information voluntarily submitted to us. You may exercise these rights by contacting us at hello@beggingai.com.

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable legal obligations. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
