Privacy note
Healthy Basket's first launch is a small pilot with 30 Pune households, run by Yash Gadgil, a Grade 12 student in Pune. This page explains, in plain language, what we collect and how we look after it.
This is an independent student project. It has not been through a formal ethics review.
What we collect
- Contact details: your name, phone / WhatsApp number and, if you give it, your email.
- Household information: your area of Pune, how many people live in your home, and where and how often you buy groceries.
- Payment details: your UPI ID, so we can pay you cashback.
- Grocery bills and invoices: photos of shop bills, and screenshots or PDFs of app invoices, with your name, phone number and card details covered or cropped out before you upload.
- Bill details: order IDs or bill numbers, so each bill is counted only once.
Why we collect it
To pay cashback on healthy groceries and to see whether it changes what households buy. We record the bill total and which items count as healthy. We don't record anything else about what you bought. Your contact details are used to reach you about the pilot, and your UPI ID is used only to pay you cashback.
Who sees it
Only Yash Gadgil. Any results we share will be totals and averages, never your name or your bills.
Where it is stored
In a private Google Sheet and a private Google Drive folder. They are not public and are not shared with anyone other than Yash Gadgil.
How long we keep it
Everything is deleted within 6 months of the pilot ending.
Your rights
- Taking part is your choice.

No selling, no sharing
We never sell your data, and we never share it with shops, brands, advertisers or anyone else. This website uses no analytics and no tracking cookies.
