Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how FastHandsNow Technologies Private Limited ("FastHandsNow", "we", "us") collects, uses, shares, retains and deletes your personal data when you use the FastHandsNow mobile application (package name com.fasthandsnow.app) and related services.

It applies to both roles in the app: customers who post jobs, and workers who accept them.

1. Who We Are

FastHandsNow is an on-demand labour marketplace operating in India. We connect customers seeking short-term help with workers who provide it. Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act"), we act as the Data Fiduciary for the personal data described below.

Contact: fasthandsnow@gmail.com

2. Data We Collect

We collect only the data listed here. We do not collect anything else, and we do not buy personal data about you from third parties.

We do not collect: your contacts, your calendar, your microphone or call audio, your SMS messages, your browsing activity outside the app, your precise location while the app is closed or in the background, or your card, UPI or bank account numbers.

3. Device Permissions the App Requests

  • Location (while using the app): to show nearby jobs, place a job at the correct address, and calculate distance. The app does not request or use background location. You can refuse this permission; map and distance features will then be limited.
  • Camera and photo library: only when you choose to take or select a profile picture or upload your identity document. We access nothing else in your gallery.
  • Notifications: to alert you about job offers, acceptances, messages and payment status.

You can withdraw any of these permissions at any time in your device's Android settings.

4. Identity Documents (Aadhaar)

To be verified as a worker, you upload a photograph of your Aadhaar card. Please read this section carefully.

  • The image is uploaded to our private storage. It is not publicly accessible and is not shown to customers or to other workers.
  • It is reviewed by authorised FastHandsNow staff for the sole purpose of confirming your identity, and is then marked verified or rejected.
  • Access is restricted at the database level by row-level security policies, so no other user of the app can read it.
  • We do not share the image with any third party, we do not use it for any purpose other than verification, and we never use it for advertising or profiling.
  • It is retained while your worker account is active and is permanently deleted when your account is deleted (see section 8).

You are never required to become a worker. If you use FastHandsNow only as a customer, we never ask for an identity document.

5. How We Use Your Data

  • To create and secure your account and sign you in
  • To match customers and workers by location, skill and availability
  • To show the other party to a job the information they need to complete it — name, profile photo, job address and the ability to message
  • To take payment for a job through Razorpay and record that it was paid
  • To verify worker identity
  • To send you push notifications about your jobs
  • To provide customer support and investigate disputes, fraud and safety reports
  • To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with data brokers or advertising networks, and we do not use it to serve you ads.

6. Who We Share Data With

We share personal data only with the service providers below, only to the extent each one needs it, and only so that the app can function. Each is bound to process the data on our instructions.

ProviderPurposeWhat they receive
SupabaseDatabase, file storage and backend hostingAll account, job, message and payment-record data described in section 2
Google Firebase AuthenticationPhone-number sign-in and OTP deliveryYour phone number and an authentication identifier
Google Firebase Cloud MessagingDelivering push notificationsYour device push token and the notification content
Google Maps PlatformRendering maps and resolving addressesLocation coordinates needed to draw the map and geocode an address
RazorpayPayment processingPayment amount and order identifiers. You enter card, UPI or bank details directly with Razorpay under their own privacy policy; we never see them

We also share information between users where the service requires it. When a worker accepts your job, that worker sees the job address, your name, your phone number and your messages; you see the worker's name, photo, rating, phone number and messages. Either of you can call the other directly from the app, which means your phone number is visible to the person you are working with. This is necessary so that you can coordinate the job, and we do not share your phone number with anyone else.

We may disclose data to law enforcement, regulators or courts where we are legally required to do so, or where it is necessary to protect someone's safety.

7. Your Rights Under the DPDP Act, 2023

You have the right to:

  • Access — obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction — have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected, and most of it you can edit yourself in the app
  • Erasure — have your account and personal data deleted (see section 8)
  • Withdraw consent — for any processing that is based on consent
  • Nominate — appoint someone to exercise these rights on your behalf if you die or become incapacitated
  • Grievance redressal — complain to us and, if unsatisfied, to the Data Protection Board of India

To exercise any of these, email fasthandsnow@gmail.com. We respond within 30 days.

8. Deleting Your Account and Data

You can request deletion of your FastHandsNow account and personal data at any time, and you do not need to have the app installed to do so.

That page explains exactly what is deleted, what we are required to keep, and for how long.

9. How Long We Keep Data

  • Active accounts: for as long as your account exists
  • After a deletion request: your account is deactivated immediately and your personal data — including your profile photo, identity document, messages and location history — is permanently erased within 30 days
  • Financial and transaction records: retained for up to 8 years as required by Indian tax and accounting law, in a form that does not identify you beyond what the law requires
  • Records needed for an unresolved dispute, safety investigation or legal claim: retained until that matter is concluded

10. Security

  • All traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS, and data is encrypted at rest by our hosting provider
  • Every database table is protected by row-level security policies, so one user cannot read another user's data
  • Identity documents and profile images are held in private storage that is not publicly readable
  • Access by staff is limited to those who need it to run the service

No system is completely secure. If a breach affects your personal data, we will notify you and the Data Protection Board of India as required by law.

11. Children

FastHandsNow is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has given us data, email fasthandsnow@gmail.com and we will delete it.

12. Where Your Data Is Processed

Your data is processed on infrastructure operated by the providers named in section 6, which may store or process data outside India. Where that happens, we rely on those providers' contractual data-protection commitments and transfer data only to countries not restricted under the DPDP Act.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. If a change materially affects how we handle your data, we will notify you in the app or by SMS before it takes effect, and we will update the date at the top of this page.
