We take complaints seriously. This page explains how to raise a grievance, who will handle it, and how long it will take.

This mechanism is published in compliance with the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

• For a complaint about content, an explanation of why you say it is objectionable and, where relevant, evidence of your rights in it.

Anonymous complaints may not be actionable. We may ask you to verify your identity before acting, particularly on data protection requests.

Where a matter is complex and cannot be resolved within the stated period, we will tell you before that period expires, explain why, and give a revised date.

6.1 We acknowledge receipt and assign a reference number.

If our response does not resolve your grievance, you may escalate as follows.

We will not act on complaints that are frivolous, repetitive, abusive or made in bad faith, and we reserve the right to decline to correspond further on a matter already answered.
