1. The short version
We never ask for or store your PAN, bank account, Demat client ID or OTP. Our allotment checker sends your PAN/application number directly to the relevant registrar's public lookup (KFintech, MUFG Intime, Bigshare) in your browser session — IPO Listing servers do not log or persist that value. We do use cookies for site preferences and for advertising, described below.
2. PAN and allotment lookups — never stored
When you use the allotment checker, your PAN or application number is used only to construct a query to the registrar's official status page or API for that session. IPO Listing does not write this value to any database, log file, or analytics event. Your watchlist and theme preference are stored only in your own browser's localStorage, not on our servers, and never leave your device unless you clear your browser data.
3. Cookies we use
- Essential/preference cookies — theme (light/dark) and layout preferences.
- Advertising cookies — we display ads through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners (including those participating in the Google certified vendor list) may set and read cookies such as
__gads,__gpiand DoubleClick/IDE cookies to serve and measure ads, including personalised ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites. - Analytics cookies — aggregated, anonymised traffic analytics to understand which pages and tools are useful, with IP addresses truncated/anonymised where the tool supports it.
4. Google AdSense & third-party advertising
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. Alternatively, users can opt out of third-party vendor cookies by visiting aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu (Europe).
5. European (EEA), UK & Swiss User Consent (GDPR)
For visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we implement a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) in compliance with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.2).
When you first visit our site from these regions, you will be presented with a consent dialogue allowing you to accept, decline, or configure specific purposes and vendor preferences for personalized ads and cookie storage. You can revisit and modify your consent choices at any time via the privacy options banner or by clearing your browser's cookie storage.
6. Children's privacy
IPO Listing is intended for adults researching capital-market products and is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a child has submitted information to us via the contact form, contact us and we will delete it.
7. Data retention
Contact-form submissions (name, email, message) sent to our support team are retained only as long as needed to resolve your query, and are periodically purged. Aggregated, non-identifying analytics data may be retained longer to understand traffic trends. LocalStorage data lives entirely on your device and is under your control.
8. Your rights & contact information
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you (e.g. an inquiry you sent us) by reaching out via our Contact Us page. We will respond promptly within 30 days.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our tools or advertising partners change. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
