The nature of services provided by Matcare during the course of its business requires Matcare to know who you are so that we can best meet your needs.

Without prejudice to the generality of the above, information collected by Matcare from you may include (but is not limited to) the following:
Personal information is defined under the SPI Rules to mean any information that relates to a natural person, which, either directly or indirectly, in combination with other information available or likely to be available with a body corporate, is capable of identifying such person.
The SPI Rules further define “sensitive personal data or information” of a person to mean personal information about that person relating to:
Information that is freely available in the public domain or accessible under the Right to Information Act, 2005 or any other law will not be regarded as personal information or sensitive personal data or information.
A. A condition of each User’s use of and access to the Services is their acceptance of the Terms of Use, which also involves acceptance of the terms of this Privacy Policy. Any User who does not agree with any provisions of the same has the option to discontinue the Services provided by Matcare immediately.
B. All the information provided to us by a User, including sensitive personal information, is voluntary. You understand that Matcare , either itself or with its Partners, may use certain information of yours, which has been designated as ‘sensitive personal data or information’ under the SPI Rules,
Matcare also reserves the right to use information provided by or about the User for the following purposes:

You may not be able to use our ‘Services’ in the event such consent is not given.
D. Users’ personally identifiable information, which they choose to provide on the Website or Apps is used to help the Users describe/identify themselves. Other information that does not personally identify the Users as an individual, is collected by Matcare or its Partners from Users (such as, patterns of utilization described above) and is exclusively owned by Matcare or its partners. We or our Partners may also use such information in an aggregated or non-personally identifiable form for research, statistical analysis and business intelligence purposes, and may sell or otherwise transfer such research, statistical or intelligence data in an aggregated or non-personally identifiable form to third parties. In particular, we and our Partners reserve with us the right to use anonymized User demographics information and anonymized User health information for the following purposes:
E. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the information you submit to us, such as your contact information provided as part of account registration. If your personal information changes, you may correct, delete inaccuracies, or amend information by making the change on your profile information page on the Websites or App or by contacting us at privacy@.matcarewellness.co.in
We will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in our then active databases as soon as reasonably practicable. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, out of date or incomplete (or becomes untrue, inaccurate, out of date or incomplete), or Matcare has reasonable grounds to suspect that the information provided by you is untrue, inaccurate, out of date or incomplete, Matcare may, at its sole discretion, discontinue the provision of the Services to you.
F. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you services, contact us through online.support@matcarewellness.co.in We will retain your information for as long as your account with the Services is active and as needed to provide you the Services. We shall not retain such information for longer than is required for the purposes for which the information may lawfully be used or is otherwise required under any other law for the time being in force. After a period of time, your data may be anonymized and aggregated, and then may be held by us or our Partners as long as necessary for us to provide our Services effectively or improve the Services, but our use of the anonymized data will be solely for analytic purposes.
G. Matcare may require the User to pay with a credit card, debit card, net banking, wallets or other online payment mechanisms for Services for which an amount(s) is/are payable. Matcare will collect such User’s credit card number and/or other financial institution information such as bank account numbers and will use that information for the billing and payment processes, including but not limited to the use and disclosure of such credit card number and information to third parties as necessary to complete such billing operation. Verification of credit information, however, is accomplished solely by the User through the authentication process offered by a third party payment gateway. User’s credit card/ debit card details are transacted upon secure sites of approved payment gateways which are digitally encrypted, thereby providing the highest possible degree of care as per latest technology currently available. User is cautioned, however, that internet technology is not fool proof or safe and User should exercise discretion on using the same.
