Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 16, 2026 · Applies to vetrade.unceasingimpex.com

Vetrade is a supplier and buyer verification service operated by Unceasing Impex, an Indian import-export business. This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our web platform or WhatsApp verification bot. Please read it carefully.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Information

When you register or log in, we collect your Indian mobile phone number. We use a one-time password (OTP) sent via SMS or WhatsApp for authentication — we do not store your OTP. We may also collect your full name, company name, company type, and industry during onboarding, which you provide voluntarily.

1.2 Verification Input Data

When you run a verification, you may provide the following information about a third party (supplier or buyer) that you are checking:

This data is used solely to run verification checks on your behalf and to generate a trust report. It is associated with your account for your own reference and history.

1.3 Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you use Vetrade, including: pages visited, features used, verification history, timestamps, and error logs. We may also collect your IP address, browser type, and device identifiers for security and analytics purposes.

1.4 WhatsApp Messages

If you use the Vetrade WhatsApp bot, your messages are received and processed via Twilio (our messaging infrastructure provider). The content of your verification requests is stored in our database so your history is accessible on the web dashboard. Standard WhatsApp message metadata (timestamps, message IDs) is also retained.

1.5 Payment Information

If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment processing is handled by third-party payment providers. We do not store your card numbers, bank details, or UPI credentials on our servers. We retain subscription status, plan type, and transaction reference IDs for billing records.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected for the following purposes:

3. Third-Party Data Sources We Query

Vetrade aggregates information from the following external data sources to perform verifications. We query these sources on your behalf — we do not control their content, availability, or accuracy.

GST Portal (GSTN)
Government of India's Goods and Services Tax Network. Used to verify GSTIN registration status, legal name, address, and filing history.
DGFT — Directorate General of Foreign Trade
Used to validate Import Export Codes (IEC), including active/inactive status and authorised entity name.
MCA21 — Ministry of Corporate Affairs
Used to check company incorporation, CIN, company type, and registration status.
Google Business / Search APIs
Used to check Google Business listing, star ratings, review counts, and domain information.
LinkedIn (via Search API / Proxycurl)
Used to retrieve company employee count, founding year, and page follower information.
News & Web APIs
Used to scan for fraud, court case, scam, blacklist, and defaulter mentions related to the company being verified.
Anthropic Claude API
Used to generate AI-powered risk summaries from the aggregated verification signals. Content is generated by a large language model and may contain inaccuracies.
Twilio
Used for OTP delivery and WhatsApp bot messaging. Subject to Twilio's own privacy policy.
Supabase
Our database and authentication infrastructure provider. Data is stored on Supabase servers in accordance with their data processing agreements.

4. Data Accuracy and Limitations

Important: Vetrade sources data from government portals and public web sources. This data reflects information available at the time of the query and may not be current, complete, or accurate. Government databases may be delayed, temporarily unavailable, or contain errors. Vetrade's output should be used as a starting point for due diligence — not as a substitute for it.

We make no representation that information returned from any third-party source is accurate, up-to-date, or fit for any particular commercial purpose. Errors may arise from:

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We share information only in the following circumstances:

6. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on Supabase infrastructure, which is hosted on AWS. We implement industry-standard security measures including:

No system is completely secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data. In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Verification reports and history are retained for a minimum of 12 months to support your record-keeping. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance purposes.

Cached signal data (e.g., GST check results) may be retained for up to 30 days to reduce redundant API calls and improve performance. WhatsApp session state is cleared after each completed verification or after 24 hours of inactivity.

8. Your Rights

Under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India), and applicable rules, you have the following rights:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@semperworks.com. We will respond within 30 days of receiving a valid request.

9. Cookies and Tracking

Vetrade uses essential cookies required for the service to function, specifically a session cookie (tp_token) that maintains your login session. This cookie is HTTP-only and Secure — it cannot be read by JavaScript and is transmitted only over HTTPS.

We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies. If we introduce optional analytics in the future, we will request your consent separately.

10. Children's Privacy

Vetrade is intended for use by trade professionals and business owners. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

11. International Data Transfers

Our service providers (Supabase, Twilio, Anthropic) may process data outside India. By using Vetrade, you consent to your data being processed in jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than India. We ensure appropriate contractual safeguards are in place with our service providers.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where required by law, notify you via email or an in-app notice. Continued use of Vetrade after the effective date of a revised policy constitutes acceptance of its terms.
