MudraGen requests only the default Google Sign-In scopes (basic profile and email). We do not access Google Drive, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, or any other Google service or API beyond basic authentication.

3c. Data Sharing
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your Google user data to any third party
- Your Google email address may be included in data sent to our AI service provider (Anthropic/Claude) solely for the purpose of generating your requested loan project report. Anthropic processes this data under a data processing agreement and does not use it for model training

Upon deletion: your user profile, all projects, generated reports, and newsletter subscription are permanently removed; feedback records are anonymised; your email address and project generation count are archived in a restricted collection solely for abuse prevention
- To request complete erasure of all data including abuse-prevention archives, email contact@mudragen.com
- Google OAuth access tokens are not stored by MudraGen. We use only Firebase-issued session cookies (5-day expiry) and short-lived Firebase ID tokens (1-hour expiry) for authentication
3e. Data Storage & Security
- Google user data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore with encryption at rest (AES-256) and encryption in transit (TLS/HTTPS)

- Access to user data is restricted by Firebase Security Rules and server-side role-based access controls
- We conduct regular dependency audits and security reviews to maintain data protection standards
4How We Collect Data
- Directly from you: When you register, fill in forms, generate project reports, or contact us
- Automatically: Through cookies, analytics tools (Google Analytics 4), and server logs when you browse our site

12International Data Transfers
Your data is primarily stored and processed in India using Google Cloud infrastructure. In some cases, data may be processed outside India (e.g., by AI service providers for report generation, CDN delivery). Where cross-border transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual data protection clauses, in compliance with the DPDP Act and any applicable transfer regulations notified by the Central Government.
