This page explains what information Sampat collects through our mobile application, why we collect it, how we protect it, and the choices you have over your own data.
At Sampat, transparency is not a checkbox — it's a core principle. This Privacy Policy explains, in straightforward language, what data our mobile application ("App") collects, why we collect it, how it is protected, and the rights you have over your own information.
Using the App means you have read and accepted this Policy. If you disagree with any part of it, please uninstall the App. We recommend reading this Policy alongside our Terms of Service, which sets out the rules governing your Sampat account.
Delivering a dependable service requires certain categories of information. Below is a complete and honest account of every data type we gather.
To open an account we collect your full legal name, date of birth, mobile number, email address, and the details from your government-issued identity document. All data is encrypted before transmission and stored exclusively at: server.sampat.cc
Technical details transmitted by your device — including model identifier, operating system version, network IP address, and Google Advertising ID — are collected to maintain platform stability and detect threats. This data is never used for advertising purposes.
To help prevent fraudulent activity, the App may read the package names and installation status of other apps on your device. No content, messages, passwords, or activity data from any other app is ever accessed. This data is used solely for fraud detection.
Uploading identity documents requires camera access. Images are encrypted at the point of capture and transmitted directly to server.sampat.cc for verification. They are permanently deleted once verification is complete. The camera is never activated without your explicit action.
With your permission, approximate location data may be used to confirm that our service operates in your area. Precise GPS coordinates are never collected or retained. Location information plays no role in advertising or account decisions.
Aggregated, anonymised data on App usage — session patterns, navigation flows, and error events — helps us improve performance and user experience. No individual user can be identified from this data.
We process personal data only for defined, legitimate purposes:
You may withdraw any optional permission at any time through your device settings. Features that depend on a particular permission may become unavailable, but your core account will remain active. We will never access data from permissions you have not granted.
Security is built into every layer of our infrastructure. The following controls are maintained at all times:
If you suspect your account has been accessed without your authorisation, contact us immediately at support@sampat.cc. We will investigate and respond without delay.
Personal data is retained only for as long as the purpose for which it was collected remains active, or as required by applicable law — whichever is longer.
When your account is closed and any mandatory retention window has elapsed, your data is either permanently deleted or rendered irrecoverable through anonymisation. The specific retention period depends on the data category and the regulations that apply.
Sampat is available to adults only. We do not accept registrations from individuals under 18, and our identity verification process is designed to detect and reject underage applications.
If we find that an account belongs to a user under 18, we will close it immediately, cancel any open transactions, and delete all associated data. To report a concern about a minor's account, contact us at support@sampat.cc.
As the person whose data we hold, you are entitled to:
To exercise any right, write to us at support@sampat.cc. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe after verifying your identity.
This Policy will be revised periodically to reflect changes to our services or applicable law. Significant amendments will be communicated through the App or by email before they take effect.
Minor corrections may be applied without advance notice and take effect immediately. The version date at the top of this page marks the current revision. Continued use of the App after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
For questions, data access requests, or any concern about how we handle your personal information, our team is ready to help.
