Aadhaar user consent policy

Voluntary Act

The act of providing your Aadhaar is voluntary in nature, which will only be required for completing your account opening procedure online and for digitally signing the DealDepot account opening form. Your Aadhaar may also be used as a proof of address as an alternative choice to drivers license or Passport copy, which is a voluntary decision to be made by You.

You may alternatively choose to go through the offline route of account opening by physically signing all such account opening documents, which does not require you to share your Aadhaar information at all.

DealDepot does not store any Aadhaar information

During your online account opening process, you do not input any Aadhaar details on the DealDepot platform. You would be issuing your Digital Aadhaar to Digilocker, from where DealDepot (DealDepot is registered as a Requester on the Digilocker platform) would receive information, based on your consent to allow Digilocker to share such information with DealDepot, limited to: (1) The last four digits of your Aadhaar / VID (Virtual ID created on the UIDAI website), (2) Full Name, (3) Date of Birth, (4) Gender, (5) Address, and (6) Your Photo.

Digilocker is a part of the National eGovernance Division under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. The Digital Aadhaar issued within DigiLocker is the same as the eAadhaar issued by UIDAI https://eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/ . DigiLocker has partnered with UIDAI to make it available automatically to its users when they link their DigiLocker account with Aadhaar. This act of issuing an eAadhaar within Digilocker and subsequently Digilocker sharing the information limited to the above points, leads to behaving as a physical KYC. DealDepot only receives information limited to the above points for the purposes of completing KYC of clients online.

All clients may alternatively follow the offline route of account opening, which does not require sharing any Aadhaar related information.
