Privacy Policy

myipostatus.in publishes publicly available information about Indian IPOs and, if you ask us to, emails you when allotment results are published. This policy explains exactly what we collect and what we do with it. It is deliberately short, because we collect little — but it is not nothing, and the detail below says exactly what.

What we collect

If you sign up for an allotment alert, we store your email address, the IPO you asked about, and the date you signed up. That is the entire alert record.

Separately, every visit to this site is logged with your IP address, the page you viewed and your browser type, whether or not you ever sign up for anything. The Cookies and analytics section below explains why, and how long it is kept.

We never ask for or store your PAN. Checking an allotment requires a PAN or application number, and that check happens on the exchange’s or registrar’s own official website — we link you there rather than collecting it ourselves. If any page on this site ever asks you to enter a PAN, it is not us.

We do not ask for your name, phone number, address, demat details, or any financial information.

How we use it

Your email address is used for one purpose: to send you the alert you asked for. Specifically, a confirmation email when you sign up, and a notification when allotment results are published for the IPO you selected.

We do not send marketing email. We do not sell, rent, or share your address with any third party, and we never send to purchased or scraped lists.

Consent and unsubscribing

Sign-ups use double opt-in — after you submit your address we send a confirmation link, and nothing further is sent unless you click it. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, which takes effect immediately.

Who processes your data

Emails are sent using Amazon Simple Email Service (SES), and subscriber records are stored in MongoDB Atlas. Both act as processors on our behalf. Our servers are hosted on Amazon Web Services in the Mumbai (ap-south-1) region, so your data is stored in India.

How long we keep it

Alert records are deleted once the IPO they relate to has been allotted and the notification sent, or within 90 days, whichever is sooner. If you unsubscribe, your address is removed immediately, other than a minimal suppression record kept solely to ensure we do not email you again by mistake.

Visit records, including IP addresses, are deleted automatically 90 days after the visit.

Your rights

Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you may ask us to confirm what data we hold about you, correct it, or erase it. We hold two kinds of identifier: your email address, if you signed up for an alert, and the IP address recorded against your visits. Emailing us from the address you signed up with is the simplest route for the first; for the second, tell us the IP address or roughly when you visited and we will locate and erase the records.

Cookies and analytics

This site sets no advertising or tracking cookies, and uses no third-party analytics service.

We do count page visits, using our own first-party analytics, so we know which pages are useful. When you load a page we record the path, the time, and the website that referred you (the domain only, never the full address).

We also record your IP address, the approximate location our content delivery network derives from it (country, state, city), and your browser’s user-agent string. We use this to tell one visitor from another, to see which parts of India the site is read in, and to spot abuse. We do not sell it, share it with advertisers, or send it to any third-party analytics service, and we do not try to connect it to your name.

An IP address is personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. We keep these records for 90 days, after which they are deleted automatically — not archived. Nothing is stored on your device for this, which is why you see no cookie banner.

If you would rather we did not hold this, email us from the address you use with us and we will erase what we have, or write to us with the approximate time you visited and we will find and remove the records.
