This policy explains how Capera Inc. and, in India, INDRITA FINTECH PRIVATE LIMITED (operating as Capera; in this policy Capera, we, us) handle personal data when you use capera.co, our financing intake, CashScan, partner portal, internal CRM, and any service we provide that links to this page. It applies in addition to applicable law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India) and the General Data Protection Regulation (for visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom).
1. Who we are
Capera Inc., and in India INDRITA FINTECH PRIVATE LIMITED operating as Capera, is the data fiduciary (under DPDPA) and controller (under GDPR) of the personal data described in this policy. Our registered contact for privacy matters is privacy@capera.co. We do not currently operate a designated Data Protection Officer; the Privacy team handles incoming requests within the timelines set out by applicable law.
If you are writing from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom and require a representative for GDPR Article 27 or UK GDPR purposes, contact us at the address above and we will direct your enquiry.
2. Scope
This policy covers the following Capera surfaces and the personal data each one processes:
- Public website (capera.co). Rates, insights, marketing pages.
- Capera Core. Financing intake, CashScan bank-statement upload, financing routing across regulated banks and NBFCs.
- Capera Boost. Waitlist signups and email-based product updates.
- Insights blog and rate pages. Public reading and analytics.
- Partner portal (capera.co/partner). Partner access codes, partner visits, partner formalisation.
- Internal CRM (capera.co/internal/crm). Internal use by Capera staff and authorised partners for lead and account management.
Third-party sites linked from Capera surfaces operate under their own privacy policies. We do not control them and are not responsible for their practices.
3. What we collect
We collect personal data in three ways.
a. Information you give us directly
When you fill in a form on Capera, you give us the fields you typed into it. This includes:
- Contact details on the financing intake, Boost waitlist, CashScan upload, partner forms, and the contact modal: name, email, company, optional message text.
- Bank statement files uploaded to CashScan. These are PDF documents that contain transactional information about your business. We treat these as confidential business data and store them with restricted access.
- Profile information when Capera staff or authorised partners sign in to the CRM via Google OAuth: name, email address, Google profile picture, and the Google identifier we use to keep your session signed in.
b. Information we collect automatically
When you visit a Capera surface, our infrastructure and analytics tools log certain technical information:
- Device and connection. IP address, user-agent, device type, screen size, time zone, referring page, and the URL you visited.
- Usage. Pages viewed, time on page, links clicked, and approximate location derived from your IP.
- Cookies and similar technologies. Described separately in section 8.
c. Information from third parties
We receive limited personal data from third parties only in specific cases:
- Google, when you sign in to our CRM with a Google account. We receive your name, email, Google ID, and profile picture under the scopes Google's consent screen describes at the time you sign in.
- Lender and partner organisations who refer a business to Capera. In that case the referring organisation has obtained your consent and shared your contact details with us for the purpose of processing your financing enquiry.
4. How we use it
We use personal data for the purposes listed below. We do not use it for unrelated purposes without coming back to you.
- To run the service you asked for. Process a financing application, run a CashScan analysis, respond to a contact request, send a Boost or Core waitlist update when the relevant product launches.
- To improve the service. Understand which pages and tools are useful, fix the ones that are not, and prioritise the roadmap based on real usage.
- To run our business. Internal record-keeping, accounting, financial reconciliation with lender partners on closed transactions, fraud prevention, and security monitoring.
- To meet legal and regulatory obligations. Respond to lawful requests from regulators, comply with anti-money-laundering and Know-Your-Customer requirements where applicable, and exercise or defend legal claims.
- To communicate with you. Reply to enquiries, send service updates, and occasionally send marketing emails about Capera products. You can opt out of marketing at any time via the unsubscribe link on every marketing email or by writing to privacy@capera.co.
5. Legal bases
Where GDPR or DPDPA apply, the legal bases on which we process your personal data are:
- Consent. For non-essential cookies, marketing emails, and bank-statement uploads to CashScan. You can withdraw consent at any time; withdrawing it does not affect processing already carried out.
- Performance of a contract. For data processed to deliver a service you asked for, such as a financing application or CashScan analysis.
- Legitimate interests. For internal analytics, fraud prevention, security monitoring, and routine business operations. We balance our interests against your rights and freedoms before relying on this basis.
- Legal obligation. For data we are required to keep under tax, anti-money-laundering, or other applicable law.
7. International transfers
Capera operates from India (through INDRITA FINTECH PRIVATE LIMITED) and the United States (through Capera Inc.). Some of our processors are based in jurisdictions other than your own, including the United States and the European Union. When we transfer personal data internationally, we use safeguards recognised under DPDPA, GDPR, and the UK GDPR, which may include the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or transfer to a country recognised as adequate by the relevant regulator.
9. How long we keep it
We keep personal data for as long as we need it for the purpose for which we collected it, then we either delete it or anonymise it. The headline retention periods are:
- Financing applications. For the duration of the engagement plus the period required under applicable record-keeping rules (typically 5 to 8 years in India).
- CashScan uploads. Bank statements are retained for 12 months from the date of analysis unless you instruct us otherwise.
- Waitlist and contact-form submissions. Up to 24 months from your last interaction, then archived or deleted.
- CRM records. While you are an active Capera user, partner, or counterparty, and for 5 years thereafter.
- Analytics data. Aggregated indefinitely; identifiable session data up to 26 months in Google Analytics 4.
10. Security
We protect personal data using a combination of technical and organisational measures. These include encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest where supported by our processors, role-based access control inside Capera, mandatory single-sign-on for staff with Google account hardening enforced, audit logging on the CRM, network and application monitoring, and routine security review of changes.
No system is perfectly secure. If you suspect your data has been compromised, please write to privacy@capera.co immediately.
11. Your rights
Subject to the law that applies to you, you have the following rights over your personal data. To exercise them, write to privacy@capera.co from the email address we hold for you, or send a request that gives us enough information to verify your identity.
- Access. A copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction. Update of information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Deletion. Erasure of your personal data, subject to legal obligations we may have to retain it.
- Restriction. Limit on how we process your data in defined circumstances.
- Portability. A copy of certain data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Objection. The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including for direct marketing.
- Consent withdrawal. Withdraw consent where consent was the basis for processing.
- Nominate a person. Under DPDPA, you may nominate another person to exercise your rights in the event of death or incapacity.
- Complain to a regulator. You may complain to the Data Protection Board of India, your local European supervisory authority, or the UK Information Commissioner's Office, as applicable. We would appreciate the chance to address your concern first.
We will respond within 30 days, or sooner where the law requires it. Where the request is complex, we may extend the response period and tell you so.
12. Children
Capera is a B2B service. It is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from a person under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, write to privacy@capera.co and we will delete it.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The Last-updated date at the top of the page changes whenever the policy does. Material changes will be highlighted on the site or, where appropriate, communicated to you by email. Continuing to use Capera after a change means you accept the updated policy.
