By using CheapSewa, you consent to the practices described here.

Our privacy promise

  • Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and policy violations.

  • Meet our legal, tax, and record-keeping obligations.
04

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data to perform our contract with you (delivering your order), to comply with legal obligations, to protect against fraud (our legitimate interest), and, where applicable, based on your consent (for example, contacting you on WhatsApp). You may withdraw consent at any time, though some processing is necessary to provide the service.

05

Sharing of Data

We do not sell your personal data. We share the minimum necessary information only with:

  • Payment providers (eSewa, Khalti, Fonepay, banks) to verify and process your payment.
  • Hosting, database, and infrastructure providers that securely store order records on our behalf.
  • Communication tools (e.g. WhatsApp, email delivery) used to send your order and support messages.
  • Authorities or legal advisers where disclosure is required by law, court order, or to protect our rights.
06

Payment Data

We do not collect or store your card, wallet PIN, or banking passwords. Payments are made directly through third-party gateways subject to their own privacy policies. We only receive confirmation details such as a transaction ID / reference and the amount, which we use to verify your order.

07

Data Security

We implement industry-standard measures including encryption in transit (SSL/TLS), access controls, and restricted admin access to keep your order records and credentials private.

No system is perfectly secure

While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you provide your information at your own risk to that extent.
08

Data Retention

We keep order and transaction records for as long as needed to provide support, honor replacement warranties, and satisfy legal, tax, and accounting requirements in Nepal. When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it. Delivered credentials may be removed from active view after the support/warranty window.

09

Your Rights & Choices

  • Access, request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction, ask us to fix inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Deletion, request deletion of your data, except where we must retain it by law.
  • Opt-out, ask to stop non-essential messages (essential order/support messages may still be sent).
