Privacy Policy

How Softknack Technologies Pvt Ltd collects, uses, protects, and lets you delete your data — in plain English. This policy covers softknack.com and Softknack Fleet services.

Effective: 1 August 2026 Last updated: 3 August 2026 Governed by: India DPDP Act, 2023

Who we are

Softknack Technologies Pvt Ltd ("Softknack", "we", "us") is a company registered in Chennai, India. We build enterprise operations software — including Softknack Fleet — used by fleet, chauffeur, and limousine operators to run their operations. This policy explains what personal data we handle, why, and the control you have over it. Where we process data on behalf of a business customer (for example, passenger bookings, vehicle assignments, or driver rosters), that business is the data controller and we act as their processor.

What we collect

We only collect what a feature actually needs. Concretely:

CategoryExamplesSource
Account dataName, work email, organisation, roleYou, at sign-up
Contact & booking dataPassenger name, phone number, email, pickup/drop coordinates and flight detailsYour customers or dispatchers, via bookings
Operational dataDriver shift logs, vehicle odometer readings, condition photos, and trip GPS trackingDriver app & fleet console
Usage dataFeature usage, device/browser, IP, timestampsAutomatically, in-product

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use your fleet or customer contact data to build advertising profiles.

How we use it

  • To provide the operations service — routing bookings to qualified drivers, enforcing tariff pricing, managing shift custody, and balancing driver collections.
  • To secure accounts, prevent abuse, and meet regulatory and tax obligations.
  • To support you when you contact us, and to improve reliability and performance.

We process personal data on the lawful bases of consent (which you or your customer give), performance of a contract, and our legitimate interest in running the service securely.

Third-party integrations

Mapping, Telephony & Cloud Infrastructure services

Softknack Fleet integrates with mapping providers (for route calculations and geocoding) and cloud storage infrastructure (for encrypted custody photos and inspection reports) strictly to execute operational tasks.

Who we share with

We share personal data only with:

  • The business customer whose data it is (their bookings, drivers, trips).
  • Infrastructure sub-processors that run the service (cloud hosting, database management), under contract and only as needed.
  • Authorities, where the law or local transport regulations require it.

How long we keep it

We keep personal data only as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by commercial transportation laws. When an operator closes their account, we delete or anonymise the associated personal data within a reasonable period, save for statutory records we must retain.

Your rights

Under the India DPDP Act, 2023 (and comparable laws), you can request to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to withdraw consent. If your data was collected by a fleet operator using Softknack, that operator is the controller — contact them, or contact us and we will route your request.

Deleting your data

How to request deletion

To delete your personal data held by Softknack, email privacy@softknack.com with the subject line "Data deletion request".

We will verify the request, delete the data we control, and forward it to the relevant fleet operator where they are the controller. We complete verified deletion requests within 30 days and confirm by email.

Security

Softknack is built on an enterprise multi-tenant platform with strict tenant isolation, encrypted transport (TLS 1.3), signed service-to-service calls, and least-privilege role-based access control.
