Welcome to our privacy policy. We know that trust is the most precious asset we have—after all, you’ve chosen us to safeguard the health of your family through safe drinking water, and we take that responsibility very seriously. This privacy policy is designed to be clear, straightforward, and human—no confusing legal jargon, just honest information about how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information. We want you to feel confident that when you share your details with us, they’re in safe hands.
This policy applies to all interactions you have with us, whether you’re browsing our products, purchasing a water purifier, reaching out for customer service, participating in our community initiatives like Jal Daan, or using any of our services. We’ve tailored this policy to reflect who we are as a brand—one that’s been part of Indian families for over four decades, committed to integrity, compassion, and accessibility. By using our services, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy. If you have any questions at any point, don’t hesitate to reach out to us—we’re here to help.
1. Who We Are
We are the team behind the brand you know and trust for safe drinking water. For over 40 years, we’ve been at the forefront of India’s water purification revolution, known as “Paani Ka Doctor” (the Doctor of Water) to millions of families. Our mission is simple: to make safe, healthy drinking water accessible to every Indian family, regardless of where they live or what they can afford. We offer a wide range of water purifiers—from budget-friendly models to premium, feature-rich options—and provide comprehensive after-sales service through a network of over 8,000 trained technicians across India. We also run community initiatives like the Jal Daan movement, which aims to provide safe water to underserved communities, and school programs to educate children about water safety.
When we talk about “we,” “us,” or “our” in this policy, we’re referring to the team responsible for your interactions with our brand—from our customer care executives and salesforce (our “Eurochamps”) to our service technicians, product developers, and the leadership team that guides our mission. We are committed to conducting our business with honesty, transparency, and integrity, and that commitment extends to how we handle your personal information.
2. What Personal Information We Collect
We collect personal information to provide you with the best possible service, from helping you find the right water purifier to ensuring your product is installed and maintained properly, and keeping you updated on initiatives that matter to you.

- Product preferences: the type of water purifier you’re purchasing (e.g., Aquaguard Select, Sure, or Neo), any additional features you’ve requested, and your water type (hard water, groundwater, etc.)—this helps us ensure we deliver the right product for your needs and provide relevant maintenance tips

- Health-related information: in rare cases, if you share information about a health condition that relates to your water needs (e.g., a family member with a sensitivity to certain minerals), we’ll collect this only with your explicit permission and use it solely to recommend the right product for you
We will never collect sensitive personal information without your explicit consent, and we will never use it for any purpose other than what we’ve told you.

- Ensuring product safety: keeping records of product sales and service to comply with safety regulations
4. How We Share Your Personal Information
We understand that sharing your personal information is a big responsibility, and we only share it with trusted parties who help us provide our services to you. We never sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes, and we only share the minimum amount of information needed for the third party to fulfill their role. Below are the parties we may share your information with:
4.1 Our Service Providers
We work with trusted third-party service providers who help us run our business and provide services to you. These include:
- Delivery partners: we share your name, address, and contact details with our delivery partners to deliver your water purifier to your home

All our service providers are required to sign a contract that requires them to protect your personal information and use it only for the purposes we’ve agreed to. We regularly monitor our service providers to ensure they comply with these requirements.
4.2 Our Retail and Distribution Partners
If you purchase our product from a retail store or distributor, we may share your name, contact details, and purchase information with them to help them provide you with local support and service. For example, if you buy a purifier from a local retailer, the retailer may need your contact details to schedule installation or follow up on your purchase.
4.3 Our Parent Company and Affiliates
We may share your personal information with our parent company and affiliated businesses (if any) to ensure consistency in the services we provide and to support our mission of making safe water accessible to all. All affiliated businesses are required to follow the same privacy standards as we do.
4.4 Legal and Regulatory Authorities
We may share your personal information with legal or regulatory authorities if we are required to do so by law, or if we believe it’s necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others. For example, we may share information in response to a court order, a police investigation, or a request from a government agency.
4.5 In the Event of a Business Transfer
If our business is sold, merged, or acquired by another company, we may transfer your personal information to the new owner. In such cases, the new owner will be required to follow this privacy policy (or a similar policy that protects your information to the same standard).
4.6 With Your Consent
We may share your personal information with other parties if you give us explicit consent to do so. For example, if you agree to participate in a survey or a third-party promotion, we may share your information with the organization running the survey or promotion.
5. How We Protect Your Personal Information
Protecting your personal information is a top priority for us. We understand that you’ve trusted us with sensitive details, and we take every possible step to ensure your information is safe and secure. We use a combination of technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Here’s how we do it:
5.1 Technical Security Measures
We use advanced technical measures to protect your information online and in our systems:
- Encryption: we encrypt your personal information when it’s transmitted between your device and our systems (using SSL/TLS encryption) and when it’s stored in our databases. This means that even if someone intercepts the data, they won’t be able to read it.
- Secure servers: we store your information on secure servers that are protected by firewalls and other security technologies to prevent unauthorized access.
- Access controls: only authorized employees and service providers have access to your personal information, and they are only given access to the information they need to do their job. For example, a delivery partner will only see your name and address, not your payment details.
- Regular security updates: we regularly update our systems and software to fix security vulnerabilities and protect against new threats.
- Secure payment processing: we use trusted payment processors who comply with industry standards (e.g., PCI DSS) to process your payment information. We do not store full payment details (e.g., credit card numbers) in our systems.
5.2 Administrative Security Measures
We have strict policies and procedures in place to ensure our employees and service providers handle your information responsibly:
- Employee training: all our employees receive training on data protection and privacy best practices, and they are required to sign a confidentiality agreement that prohibits them from sharing your information without permission.
- Regular audits: we conduct regular audits of our systems and processes to ensure we’re complying with our privacy policy and security standards.
- Incident response plan: we have a plan in place to respond to data breaches or security incidents. If a breach occurs, we will notify you and the relevant authorities (if required by law) and take steps to mitigate the impact.
5.3 Physical Security Measures
We also take physical security measures to protect any physical records of your information (e.g., paper documents with your address or contact details):
- Secure storage: physical records are stored in locked cabinets or secure facilities that are only accessible to authorized personnel.
- Proper disposal: when physical records are no longer needed, they are shredded or disposed of securely to prevent unauthorized access.
5.4 Your Role in Protecting Your Information
While we take every step to protect your information, you also play a role in keeping your data safe. Here are some tips to help you protect your information:
- Keep your account password secure: choose a strong password that’s hard to guess, and don’t share it with anyone. If you think your password has been compromised, change it immediately.
- Be cautious when sharing information: only share your personal information with us through our official channels (e.g., our customer care number, our official email address).
- Update your contact details: if your phone number, email address, or address changes, update your account information so we can reach you securely.
- Log out of your account: if you’re using a shared device (e.g., a public computer), make sure to log out of your account when you’re done.
6. How Long We Keep Your Personal Information
We only keep your personal information for as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes we’ve outlined in this policy, or as required by law. Once we no longer need your information, we delete it securely or anonymize it (so it can’t be used to identify you). Here’s how long we keep different types of information:
6.1 Purchase and Order Information
We keep your purchase and order information (e.g., product details, delivery address, payment transaction details) for as long as your product is under warranty, plus a reasonable period after that to handle any after-sales service requests or warranty claims. We also keep this information for tax and legal purposes (as required by law).
6.2 Customer Service and Support Information
We keep records of your customer service interactions (e.g., queries, complaints, service requests) for a reasonable period after the interaction to ensure we can provide consistent support and address any follow-up issues. This also helps us improve our customer service over time.
6.3 Account Information
If you have an account with us, we keep your account information (e.g., name, email address, order history) for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your information (or anonymize it) within a reasonable period, unless we need to keep it for legal or tax purposes.
6.4 Marketing and Communication Information
We keep your marketing preferences (e.g., whether you’ve opted in to receive newsletters) for as long as you’re subscribed to our marketing communications. If you unsubscribe, we will stop sending you marketing messages and keep only the minimum information needed to ensure we don’t contact you again.
6.5 Automatically Collected Information
We keep automatically collected information (e.g., device information, usage data) for a reasonable period to improve our services and website experience. After that, we either delete it or anonymize it so it can’t be used to identify you.

7.1 The Right to Access Your Information

7.3 The Right to Delete Your Information
You have the right to ask us to delete your personal information (also known as the “right to be forgotten”) if we no longer need it, or if you withdraw your consent for us to use it. To request deletion, contact our customer care team. We will delete your information (or anonymize it) within a reasonable period, unless we need to keep it for legal or tax purposes. Please note that deleting your information may mean we can no longer provide you with certain services (e.g., after-sales service for your purifier).
7.4 The Right to Withdraw Your Consent
If you’ve given us consent to collect or use your personal information (e.g., to send you marketing communications), you can withdraw your consent at any time. For example, if you no longer want to receive our newsletter, you can click the unsubscribe link in any email, or contact our customer care team to opt out. Withdrawing your consent will not affect any information we’ve already collected or used with your previous consent.
7.5 The Right to Restrict or Object to the Use of Your Information
You have the right to ask us to restrict how we use your personal information (e.g., if you’re contesting the accuracy of the information) or to object to us using your information for certain purposes (e.g., marketing). To exercise this right, contact our customer care team and let us know what you’d like to restrict or object to. We will review your request and respond within a reasonable period.
7.6 The Right to Data Portability
You have the right to request that we transfer your personal information to another organization (if this is technically possible).

7.7 How to Exercise Your Rights

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Like many brands, we use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels) to improve your experience when you interact with our services. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website or use our app. They help us remember your preferences, track your interactions, and improve our services. Here’s what you need to know about our use of cookies:
8.1 Types of Cookies We Use
We use three types of cookies: essential cookies, performance cookies, and marketing cookies.
8.1.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our services to work properly. They enable you to navigate our website, make purchases, and access your account.

We can’t provide our services without these cookies, so they are always enabled.
8.1.2 Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how you use our website and services, so we can improve them. For example, they track which pages you visit most, how long you spend on each page, and if you encounter any errors. This information is anonymous (it doesn’t identify you personally) and is only used to improve our services.
8.1.3 Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver personalized marketing messages to you. For example, they track your interests and preferences based on your interactions with our website, so we can send you relevant promotions or product recommendations.

Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use our services (e.g., you may not be able to make a purchase or log into your account). Disabling performance or marketing cookies will not affect your ability to use our services, but it may mean we can’t personalize your experience or improve our services based on your usage.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our services are not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without the consent of a parent or guardian, we will delete that information immediately.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact our customer care team, and we will take steps to delete the information and ensure it doesn’t happen again. We also run school programs to educate children about water safety, but we only collect information from children with the explicit consent of their parents or guardians.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy, and we will notify you if the changes are significant (e.g., if we start collecting new types of information, or if we change how we use your information). We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we’re protecting your information.
Your continued use of our services after we update the policy means you agree to the new terms. If you don’t agree to the changes, you can stop using our services and contact us to request that we delete your information (if applicable).
