Plain English Summary
PawnSoftware.in is a free knowledge hub. We collect minimal data — only what you voluntarily provide (like a name and email if you contact us) or what your browser sends automatically (like page views). We do not sell your data. We do not run ads. The full legal detail is below.
1. Who We Are
PawnSoftware.in ("we," "our," "the website") is a knowledge hub and resource centre for gold loan software, pawn broking guides, and free financial calculators, operated by FinAccSaaS, a software company based in Tamil Nadu, India.
This Privacy Policy explains our practices for the website pawnsoftware.in only. If you use the FinAccSaaS product itself (the gold loan management software), a separate privacy policy applies — available at finaccsaas.in/privacy.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making, profiling, or targeted advertising.
