What Moneycontrol does with your data
Moneycontrol's India policy segments you by preference, takes data from advertising and analytics vendors, runs third-party ads, shares with group companies and Finbox, and keeps your data for as long as it judges necessary, case by case.
-
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
Moneycontrol’s own policy says “We may share personal data with third-party IT service providers, including Finbox to support our technology services and facilitate research or data analytics.”
Our summary discloses personal data to related companies, third-party advertising companies, external service providers and named IT provider Finbox, and may transfer it to affiliates or third parties outside India.
-
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
Moneycontrol’s own policy says “Perform analytics, market research and segmentation to understand your preferences, improve our products and/or services and our communications to you.”
Our summary performs segmentation to understand user preferences for marketing and communications, collects data from marketing and advertising vendors, and uses third-party advertising companies to serve ads on the Platform.
-
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
Moneycontrol’s own policy says “We may collect or receive data about you from third-party sources and process this data in accordance with this policy. The sources may include, but is not limited to: Publicly accessible sources; Marketing & Advertising vendors; Analytics Providers; Event management agencies; Social media Platforms.”
Our summary receives data about the user from off-platform marketing/advertising vendors, analytics providers and social media platforms, and separately analyses data from external sources such as Google, Facebook and Twitter.
-
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
Moneycontrol’s own policy says “We will retain your personal data which we have collected for as long as we reasonably consider it necessary for achieving the abovementioned purposes and as is permissible under applicable law. This is determined on a case-to-case basis.”
Our summary sets no fixed retention period, retaining data for as long as it considers necessary on a case-to-case basis, and may archive or retain data after a deletion request while statutory obligations or potential legal claims remain.
What the policy does not mention
These are uses Moneycontrol’s policy is silent on. Silence is not a promise — it means the document does not say, and we do not infer either way.

- Trains AI models on your content
Moneycontrol 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 Moneycontrol do with my personal data?
According to Moneycontrol'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 Moneycontrol?
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 Moneycontrol track me for advertising?
Yes — Moneycontrol'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 Moneycontrol 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.
