How DrishtiTax protects your documents

Your Form 16 is one of the most sensitive documents you own. DrishtiTax is engineered so that even we cannot casually look at it — here is exactly how.

Processed in memory, not stored

When you upload a Form 16, AIS or ITR, the file is read into memory only to detect its format and extract the tax fields needed for your analysis. The extracted figures are returned to your browser; the uploaded bytes are discarded before the request completes. Nothing is written to disk, shared with a third party, or stored in a database.

Our commitments

  • Uploaded documents — not stored; in memory for the request only
  • Generated report PDF — streamed to you and the temporary file deleted immediately
  • Not used to train AI models
  • No ad networks, analytics or tracking pixels in our code
  • Encrypted in transit (TLS); minimal payment record retained as Indian regulations require
  • Aligned with the DPDP Act, 2023

What we never collect

We do not ask for or store your PAN, Aadhaar, or bank account number. The only data we keep is the minimum needed to take payment and, if you ask, to email your report.

Questions about your data

For anything related to your data — including deletion of a payment or email record — write to [email protected]. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy.
