What Kuku FM does with your data
Kuku FM builds a profile from your activity to send you targeted offers and lets Google serve you ads based on your visits to other websites; it shares data with group companies and partners, and some of your data survives a deletion request.
-
Shares your data with partners
Passed to group companies, advertisers or analytics firms you never chose.
What this costs you. Your number and habits travel to companies you have never heard of and never agreed to. This is the step where the spam calls start.
Show me where they say that
Kuku FM’s own policy says “We may share or disclose your information with our affiliates, group companies, trusted vendors, service providers, and other partners who support our business and Services, such as providing technical infrastructure services, bug testing, analyzing how our Services are used, etc. for the purposes specified in this Policy.”
Our summary information may be shared with affiliates, group companies, vendors, service providers and other partners, and may additionally be transferred to another party on a merger, acquisition, amalgamation or sale of assets.
-
Builds an advertising profile of you
They watch what you view, tap and buy, and use it to decide which ads you see.
What this costs you. Your attention gets priced. What you hesitate over becomes a bid — and a profile built to predict you is a profile built to persuade you.
Show me where they say that
Kuku FM’s own policy says “Sending promotional offers and marketing material that we believe may be of interest to you, based on your profile and activity on our application.”
Our summary sends promotional and marketing material selected on the basis of the user's profile and activity in the app, relying on legitimate interest in 'marketing efficiency'.
-
Follows you onto other websites and apps
Their tracking carries on after you leave, through pixels and SDKs embedded elsewhere.
What this costs you. You get recognised on sites that have nothing to do with them. Closing the app does not close the file.
Show me where they say that
Kuku FM’s own policy says “Google, as a third-party vendor, may use cookies and other tracking technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Platforms, Services and other websites on the internet.”
Our summary Google, as a third-party ad vendor, uses cookies and tracking technologies to serve ads based on the user's prior visits both to Kuku's platforms and to other websites on the internet.
-
Keeps your records long-term
Held on after you stop using the service.
What this costs you. Years after you delete the app, the record is still sitting there — and every year it sits there is another year it can leak.
Show me where they say that
Kuku FM’s own policy says “There are situations where we are unable to delete your data, for example, if (i) the data is still needed for Kuku’s legal compliances, (ii) billing or payments data until your account is deleted (iii) information that may be needed to resolve any disputes.”
Our summary names situations in which it will not delete data on request — legal compliance, billing and payment records, and dispute resolution — and states it retains certain data for a longer period to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
What the policy does not mention
These are uses Kuku FM’s policy is silent on. Silence is not a promise — it means the document does not say, and we do not infer either way.

Kuku FM is one app. How many are on your phone?
Most people carry twenty to forty. Add yours and see the total in one screen — how many share your data, profile you for ads, or follow you across the web. Then take it back from all of them at once.

Questions
What does Kuku FM do with my personal data?
According to Kuku FM's own privacy policy, read on 2026-08-14, it discloses 4 of the six uses we track: shares your data with partners, builds an advertising profile of you, follows you onto other websites and apps, keeps your records long-term.
Can I withdraw my consent from Kuku FM?
Section 6(4) of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 gives you the right to withdraw consent for processing you agreed to. The Act's substantive provisions commence in stages up to May 2027, so a request made now asks for voluntary compliance and puts the date on record. Processing a company carries out under a legal obligation — such as KYC records the RBI requires — cannot be withdrawn.
Does Kuku FM track me for advertising?
Yes — Kuku FM's published policy discloses this. The exact sentence it is based on is quoted on this page, with the date we read it and a link to the source.
Every use above is one Kuku FM declared in its own published privacy policy, which we
read on 2026-08-14. Quotes are verbatim; the summary beside each one is ours
and is labelled as ours. Nothing here is inferred.
Saaph.in is a DPDP consent and request management platform operated by Ronin Works
Private Limited. It is a communication facilitator, not your legal or authorised
representative. The DPDP Act 2023 commences in stages up to May 2027, so a request
made today asks for voluntary compliance and records the date you asked.
