Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. Introduction

Grumble ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of its users ("you", "your"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform at grumble.in.

By using Grumble, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.

2. Information we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Account information: Your email address, username, and password (encrypted) provided during registration.

Profile information: Optional information such as city and state.

Content: Grumbles you file, including title, description, issue type, and any contextual details you provide.

Usage data: Information about how you use the platform, including pages visited, actions taken, and timestamps.

Device information: Browser type, operating system, IP address, and device identifiers.

3. How we use your information

To provide, operate, and maintain the Grumble platform

To allow you to file, manage, and validate grumbles

To calculate and display CX Scores for brands

To send you service-related communications

To detect, prevent, and address fraud, spam, and misuse

To improve our platform based on usage patterns

To comply with legal obligations

4. Name display preferences

You can choose how your name appears publicly on each grumble — your full name, initials only, or hidden (shown as "Verified member"). Regardless of which you choose, your account identity is still associated with the grumble in our internal systems for moderation and legal compliance purposes. This is a display preference, not a guarantee of anonymity.

5. Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

Service providers: Third-party vendors who assist us in operating the platform (e.g. hosting, analytics), bound by confidentiality obligations.

Legal requirements: When required by law, court order, or government authority.

Protection of rights: When necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Grumble, its users, or the public.

6. Data retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as required to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us. Grumbles that have been validated by other users may be retained in anonymised form for platform integrity.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted storage of passwords and secure HTTPS connections. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your rights

You have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you

Request correction of inaccurate information

Request deletion of your account and data

Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@grumble.in.

9. Cookies

Grumble uses essential cookies to maintain your session and authentication. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may affect platform functionality.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
