Acknowledgement SLA
7 days
Resolution SLA
30 days

When to contact the Grievance Officer

  • Your data was processed without your consent or beyond consent given
  • You disagree with how a verification or service was handled
  • You attempted a DSR request at /trust/dsr and it was refused or unanswered beyond SLA
  • You want to lodge a formal complaint that triggers our DPDP §13 process

What happens after you contact us

  1. Within 7 days: Acknowledgement email with a ticket reference.
  2. Within 30 days: Substantive response — either resolution, or an explanation if more time is needed (with a new ETA).
  3. If unsatisfied: Escalate to the DPO at /trust/dpo (Tier 2), or to the CEO (Tier 3), or to the statutory Data Protection Board of India (Tier 4) once constituted.

What the Grievance Officer cannot do

  • Disclose another data principal's data (DPDP §14 limits this to your own data only)
  • Provide legal advice on your separate dispute with a counterparty
  • Override statutory retention requirements (e.g. tax records)
