Technical and organisational measures Gletra employs to protect user data across marketplace, chat, calls, wallet, and home services operations.
Updated June 19, 2026 6 min read Official Gletra Policy
Gletra Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is committed to protecting the personal data of all users through comprehensive technical and organisational security measures. This Data Protection Policy describes the safeguards we implement to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data processed across our multi-vendor marketplace, Gletra Chat, voice and video calling infrastructure, Gletra Wallet, Seller Panel, and home services platform.
Our data protection programme is aligned with ISO 27001 information security management principles, PCI-DSS requirements for payment data, RBI guidelines for prepaid payment instruments, and applicable provisions of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. We continuously assess and improve our security posture through regular audits, penetration testing, and employee training.
Data protection is a shared responsibility. While Gletra implements platform-level safeguards, users must protect their account credentials, exercise caution when sharing personal information in chat or during calls, and report suspected security incidents promptly to security@gletra.com.
This policy supplements our Privacy Policy with technical and organisational detail. For information about data collection purposes and user rights, refer to the Privacy Policy and GDPR Compliance page.

Gletra collects and retains only data necessary for specified purposes. Automated retention enforcement deletes or anonymises data upon expiry of applicable retention periods defined in our Privacy Policy.
