VKS Palate

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 June 2026  ·  Effective for the VKS Palate mobile app (com.vinfraa.cafeteria.customer) and web app at app.vinfraa.com.

This Privacy Policy explains what information the VKS Palate app and related services (collectively, the “Service”) collect about you, how we use it, and the choices you have. The Service is operated by Vinfraa Lab Private Limited on behalf of the corporate cafeteria your employer has enrolled with us.

By using the Service you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

1. Information we collect

1.1 Information you provide

1.2 Information collected automatically

2. How we use your information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use the data we collect for advertising or cross-app tracking.

3. Payments

Payments inside the app are processed by third-party gateways — PayU and Razorpay. When you pay, card details and bank credentials are entered directly into the gateway’s interface (PCI-DSS compliant). We never receive or store your full card number, CVV, or banking password. We retain only the payment reference, amount, and outcome so we can settle your order and process refunds.

Wallet balances are stored in your account in our database and are only debited when you place an order, top-up, or your employer auto-loads a subsidy.

4. Sharing your information

We share information only as needed to operate the Service:

5. Data retention

CategoryRetention period
Account profile Until you delete the account, your employer ends your enrolment, or your account is inactive for more than 90 consecutive days — whichever comes first. After that we automatically delete your personal profile and related identifiers (see §5.1).
Order & payment history 7 years (financial record requirement under Indian law).
FCM push tokens Until you log out, change devices, or revoke push permission.
Support tickets & messages 3 years from resolution.
Crash logs & diagnostics 90 days, then aggregated.

5.1 Automatic deletion of inactive accounts

If you do not sign in, place an order, or take any other action inside the app for 90 consecutive days, your account is treated as inactive and is deleted automatically. We do this to minimise the personal data we hold about people who no longer use the Service.

What we mean by “activity” is any of: signing in, opening the app while signed in, placing an order, making a pre-booking, topping up your wallet, raising a support ticket, or tapping a push notification.

What gets deleted. Your profile (name, email, mobile number, photo, FCM push tokens, saved addresses, dietary preferences, wallet balance, authentication credentials and sessions, and any support content tied to your account).

What we keep, and why. Order and payment records are retained for the 7-year financial-record period required under Indian tax and accounting law, but they are de-identified — the personal identifiers above are stripped and only an anonymous customer reference remains so the records can be reconciled to invoices and tax filings without pointing back to you.

Heads-up before we delete. Before the 90-day mark, we send a reminder email to your registered work email address. If you sign in at any point after that reminder, the inactivity counter resets to zero and your account stays.

Re-joining later. If your employer re-enrols you after an auto-deletion, you will start with a fresh account. We cannot restore the previous profile.

6. Security

Traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2+. Passwords are stored as one-way bcrypt hashes. Auth tokens live in your device’s secure storage (Keychain on iOS, Keystore on Android). Database backups are encrypted at rest. We restrict access to production data to a small number of authorised engineers, on a need-to-know basis.

No system is perfectly secure. If we ever discover a breach affecting your data, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by law.

7. Your rights

You can, at any time:

8. Children

The Service is intended for adults using a corporate cafeteria benefit. It is not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. International transfers

Our servers are hosted in India (AWS Mumbai). Some sub-processors (e.g. Firebase) may process limited operational data outside India. Where that happens, we rely on standard contractual safeguards.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, for material changes, surface a notice inside the app. Continued use of the Service after a change indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
