Privacy notice
Version 2026-10-13 · Applies to requests for offers on horcus.in
This notice explains what we collect when you ask Horcus for offers on a new car, why we collect it, who sees it, how long we keep it, and how to have it removed.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its Rules, notified in November 2025, are coming into force in stages. We follow their notice, consent and rights requirements now.
To read this notice in Hindi or another language listed in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution, message or write to us.
Who we are
Horcus is operated by ACIGI Technologies LLP, 91 Springboard, C-2, Sector 1, Block C, Noida, Uttar Pradesh. For the purposes of the DPDP Act we are the Data Fiduciary for the information described here.
What we collect
When you start, on the first form:
- Your name
- Your phone number, which we use for calls and WhatsApp
- Your email address, if you give it
- The car: brand, model and variant, or that you haven’t decided the variant yet
- Your area — Noida, Greater Noida or somewhere else — and roughly when you plan to buy
- How you reached us — the link tag in the address you used (for example
?src=reddit), or the website that sent you - When you agreed, and which version of this notice you agreed to
When you add the full requirement, on the second form:
- Colours, first and second choice, your delivery window and what matters most to you
- Insurance: whether you want the dealership’s insurance or your own, the add-ons you want, and whether you have a no-claim bonus on your current car
- The extended warranty, service package and accessories you want
- Your current car, if you are exchanging it: make, model, year, kilometres and number of owners
- Finance, if you want a loan: the amount, the tenure, and whether you prefer dealer finance or your own bank
- Anything you add in the notes
When you pay ₹999: what our bank shows us about the payment (see Payment below).
When we talk: anything you tell us when we message or call you about your car.
We do not ask for your full address, your income, your identity documents or your card details, and we will never ask for your UPI PIN.
Why we collect it
- to contact you about the car you asked about
- to confirm at least three authorised dealerships for your car before you pay anything
- to send your requirement to those dealerships, without your name or number, so they can make written offers
- once you choose an offer and confirm it, to give your name and number to that dealership so it can complete your booking
- to keep a record of your consent and of your payment, and to refund you where our terms say so
- to prevent spam, and to count interest by car, area and the link that brought people here, as totals that do not identify anyone
- with your agreement only, to count visits and measure our ads (see Cookies)
We do not sell your details or rent them, and no dealership pays for your name or number.
Your consent
Each form has its own consent box, and neither is ever pre-ticked. The first lets us store your details and contact you about the car. The second lets us send your requirement to dealerships without your name or number, and give your name and number to the one dealership you choose, after you confirm. You are free not to tick either.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by replying STOP on WhatsApp, calling us, or emailing contact@horcus.in. Withdrawing is as easy as giving consent was. We then stop contacting you and stop using your details immediately. If your requirement is already with dealerships, we tell them it has closed. We delete your details once any period the law requires us to keep them has passed, keeping only a record that you asked not to be contacted.
Calls and messages
By ticking the first box you agree that we may contact you by phone call, WhatsApp, SMS or email, from +91 85959 84837 or contact@horcus.in, about the car you asked about. We will not send you marketing about anything else, and you can ask us to stop at any time.
Who sees what
Dealerships. Each requirement goes to at least three authorised dealerships for your car’s brand in Noida and Greater Noida. They see the requirement: the car, colours, timing, cover, packages, accessories, your exchange car and your loan details. They do not see your name, number or email. When you choose an offer and confirm it, we give your name and number to that dealership only. From then on it handles them as an independent business under its own privacy terms.
Manufacturers, insurers, lenders and data brokers never get your details from us.
The providers we use to run Horcus: Netlify (website and form storage), Akismet (spam filtering), Google Workspace (email), WhatsApp (messages) and our bank (your payment). Each handles your details only to provide its service to Horcus.
Only if you agree to cookies: Google Analytics and Google Ads, and Meta if we start using it, receive what your browser sends when it loads their tags. We never send them your name, number, email or requirement.
Payment
You pay ₹999 by UPI to the bank account of ACIGI Technologies LLP, and only after we have confirmed at least three dealerships for your car. We receive what the bank shows us: the name or UPI ID you paid from, the amount, the date and the transaction reference. We use it to match your payment to your requirement, to keep our accounts, and to refund you to the same account where our terms say so. We never see your UPI PIN or your bank login.
How long we keep it
Your contact details and requirement: until you ask us to remove them, or 18 months after your last requirement, whichever comes first. After that we delete them from everywhere we hold them — form storage, email and WhatsApp — within 30 days.
Payment records: for as long as accounting and tax law requires us to keep them.
How it is protected
Your details are sent over an encrypted connection and stored where only the people who need them can reach them. We deliberately collect as little as possible, because the safest data is the data we never held. If anything ever goes wrong with your information, we will tell you, and we will report it to the authorities where the law requires.
Your rights
These are your rights under the DPDP Act. We honour them now, so you can ask us to:
- Tell you what we hold about you, what we have done with it, and which dealerships received your requirement
- Correct or complete anything that is wrong or out of date
- Erase your information
- Withdraw consent — we then stop contacting you and stop using your details
- Nominate someone to exercise these rights on your behalf if you are unable to
Message or call +91 85959 84837 from the phone number you gave us, or eEmail contact@horcus.in from the address you gave us, so we can be sure it is you. We will normally respond within 30 days and confirm in writing when it is done.

Cookies, tracking and children
Unless you agree, this website sets no cookies and loads no analytics, advertising or session-recording tools.
Some things are kept in your own browser for the visit only, and cleared when you close the tab: the link tag you arrived with, so it can be sent with the form; which sample car you were looking at (Hyundai or NEXA); and, if you go on to the full requirement, your answers from the first form, so you don’t type them twice.
We may use Google Analytics and Google Ads, and later Meta, to count visits and measure our ads. They load only if you choose Accept on the cookie banner, and then they set cookies that Google and Meta use under their own terms. Your choice is kept in your browser for 6 months. You can change it at any time from Cookie settings at the bottom of each page.
You must be 18 or over to use Horcus. If we learn we have collected details from anyone under 18, we will delete them.
Changes to this notice
If we change it, we will update the version date at the top. We record which version was in force when you gave consent, so we can tell you exactly what you agreed to.
