2.2 Disclosure of Information. Under no circumstance will we sell or rent your Personal Information or that of your giftee to anyone, for any reason, at any time. Just like any other financial services company, we use authorized third-party service providers who are bound by the same standards of data security practices and procedures as we are under law and contract. They are subject to the same penalties as we are for the unauthorized disclosure of your personal information. However, under Indian law, pinBox Inclusion remains liable to you and your giftee, our customer, for any unauthorized disclosure of sensitive personal information.

3.2 Our security systems meet or exceed industry standards and we are constantly monitoring internet developments to ensure our systems evolve as required. However, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, and that of your giftee, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100 percent secure. Therefore, by using this Website and/or our Gift-a-Pension WhatsApp Business Channel you agree that we will have no liability for disclosure of your or your giftee’s Personal Information due to errors in transmission, infrastructure failures by us or any intermediary (including telecom and internet service providers), or unauthorized acts of third parties.
