Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 8, 2026
TL;DR: Rupeeto doesn't collect or store your personal information. We don't require sign-ups, and we don't track you. When you click through to providers, they have their own privacy policies.
1. Introduction
Rupeeto ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our GBP to INR comparison service at rupeeto.com.
Rupeeto is a comparison platform that helps you find the best rates to send money to India. We do not process money transfers ourselves.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
None. Rupeeto does not require account creation, email addresses, or any personal information to use our comparison service. You can use Rupeeto completely anonymously.
2.2 Information Automatically Collected
When you visit rupeeto.com, we may automatically collect:
- Technical Information: IP address, browser type, operating system, device type
- Usage Data: Pages viewed, time spent on site, referral source
- Comparison Data: GBP amounts you search for (not linked to your identity)
This data is collected via standard server logs and is used solely for:
- Preventing fraud and abuse
- Understanding which providers are most popular
- Improving our service
- Aggregate analytics (not individual tracking)
2.3 Cookies
Rupeeto uses minimal cookies:
- Essential Cookies: Required for the site to function (e.g., maintaining your comparison settings during your session)
- Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics to understand site usage (anonymized)
- Affiliate Cookies: To track referrals when you click through to providers
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some site functionality may be affected.
3. How We Use Your Information
The limited information we collect is used to:
- Provide our service: Display GBP to INR comparisons
- Improve functionality: Fix bugs, optimize performance
- Analyze trends: Understand which providers users prefer (aggregate data only)
- Prevent abuse: Detect and prevent scraping, bots, or malicious activity
- Attribution: Track which clicks result in transfers (for affiliate commissions)
We never:
- Sell your data to third parties
- Use your data for marketing purposes
- Track you across other websites
- Build profiles about you
- Share your data except as required by law
4. Affiliate Disclosure
Rupeeto earns revenue through affiliate partnerships with money transfer providers. When you click a provider link on our site and complete a transfer, we may receive a commission.
Important: This commission never affects the rates shown. We display live rates directly from providers' APIs. Our commission is the same regardless of which provider you choose, so we have no incentive to favor anyone.
When you click through to a provider:
- We may set an affiliate tracking cookie
- The provider's own privacy policy applies
- Any data you provide to the provider is governed by their policy, not ours
5. Third-Party Services
5.1 Provider APIs
We fetch GBP to INR rates from providers' public APIs. This does not involve sharing any user data - we simply query their publicly available information.
5.2 Money Transfer Providers
When you click through to complete a transfer, you leave rupeeto.com and are subject to the provider's privacy policy. We recommend reviewing their policies:
- Wise: wise.com/legal/privacy-policy
- Remitly: remitly.com/privacy
- Western Union: westernunion.com/privacy
- ICICI: icicibank.co.uk/privacy
5.3 Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand site usage. Google Analytics collects anonymized data about page views, session duration, and traffic sources. You can opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
6. Data Retention
Since we don't collect personal information, there's minimal data to retain:
- Server logs: Retained for 90 days for security and troubleshooting
- Analytics data: Retained indefinitely in aggregated, anonymized form
- Cookies: Expire after 30 days or when you clear your browser
7. Your Rights (GDPR)
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights:
- Right to access: Request what data we hold about you (likely none)
- Right to rectification: Correct inaccurate data
- Right to erasure: Request deletion of your data
- Right to restriction: Limit how we process your data
- Right to data portability: Receive your data in a usable format
- Right to object: Object to processing of your data
- Right to withdraw consent: Withdraw consent for data processing
To exercise these rights, contact us via Twitter @HelloRupeeto or LinkedIn. Since we don't collect personal data, most requests will confirm that we hold no information about you.
8. Security
We take security seriously:
- HTTPS encryption: All traffic to rupeeto.com is encrypted
- Secure infrastructure: Hosted on AWS with industry-standard security
- No stored credentials: We don't have passwords or accounts to compromise
- Regular updates: Infrastructure and dependencies kept up-to-date
However, no website can guarantee 100% security. We recommend using updated browsers and being cautious of phishing attempts.
9. Children's Privacy
Rupeeto is not intended for use by children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us.
Money transfers typically require users to be 18+ at the provider level, so our service is not relevant to minors.
10. International Data Transfers
Rupeeto is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, primarily in EU regions. If you access our site from outside the EU, your data (IP address, usage data) may be processed in the EU.
We comply with GDPR requirements for international data transfers.
11. Do Not Track
Our website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. However, since we don't track individual users or build profiles, DNT settings have limited applicability.
You can block cookies and analytics using browser settings or privacy extensions.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our service evolves. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
Material changes will be clearly communicated. Continued use of Rupeeto after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
13. Contact Us

14. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Under GDPR, we process limited data based on:
- Legitimate interests: Providing and improving our comparison service, preventing fraud
- Consent: Analytics cookies (which you can decline)
- Legal obligations: Compliance with applicable laws and regulations
15. Data Controller
For GDPR purposes, Rupeeto is the data controller for any information processed through our website.
Summary: Rupeeto prioritizes your privacy. We don't collect personal information, we don't track you, and we're transparent about how our affiliate model works. When you click through to providers, their privacy policies apply.
