Privacy Policy — PipLot: Lot Size Calculator
Effective date: October 24, 2026
Data controller: Kotak Digital (https://kotakdigital.com)
This Privacy Policy explains how the PipLot mobile application (“PipLot”, “the App”) handles information. It applies to the App only. PipLot is developed by Kotak Digital.
Summary
PipLot itself collects no personal data. There is no account, no sign-up, and no login. Your calculations, favorite instruments, and broker settings are stored only on your device. The only third parties involved are the advertising SDK that serves the banner ad and the market-data feed that provides prices when you tap Fetch. Both are described below.
Information PipLot does not collect
PipLot does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
- Your name, email address, phone number, or any contact information
- Your location (precise or otherwise)
- Your trading account information, broker credentials, or financial data
- Your photos, contacts, or files
- Any identifier that directly identifies you
Information stored on your device
The following information is stored locally on your device using the App’s own storage and is never sent to Kotak Digital or to any server operated by Kotak Digital:
- Your last selected instrument
- Your risk-per-trade amount
- Your favorite instruments
- Your broker specification overrides (contract size, lot step, minimum and maximum lot)
Uninstalling the App deletes this locally stored information.
Third-party services
Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)
The App displays one banner advertisement served through Google Mobile Ads (AdMob). The AdMob SDK may collect and share the following types of data, as declared in the App’s Google Play Data safety section:
- Device or other IDs — advertising ID and app set ID
- App activity — app interactions (for example, ad impressions and taps)
- Approximate location — derived from your IP address
- App info and performance — diagnostics such as app launch time, hang rate, and energy usage
This data is encrypted in transit. Its purposes are advertising and marketing, analytics, and fraud prevention, security, and compliance. The App requests non-personalized ads only; however, the SDK may still process device identifiers for purposes such as fraud prevention and frequency capping. You can control advertising personalization in your device settings (Google Settings > Ads on Android) and reset your advertising ID at any time.

BiQuote market-data feed
When you tap the Fetch button, the App requests the latest price quote for the selected instrument from the BiQuote market-data feed (https://biquote.io). The request contains only the instrument symbol; no personal data, calculation data, or account data is sent. As with any internet request, the feed’s servers may observe your IP address. If you never tap Fetch, the App makes no network request at all, and all calculations work fully offline.
How information is used
Information processed through the third-party services above is used to serve and measure the banner advertisement, to prevent fraud and abuse, and to keep the App stable. Kotak Digital does not sell personal data and does not use any data for purposes other than those described here.
Data retention
PipLot itself retains no personal data, so there is nothing for Kotak Digital to delete. Data collected by the AdMob SDK is retained according to Google’s policies and your device advertising settings.
Your choices
- Advertising: opt out of personalized advertising and reset your advertising ID in your device settings.
- Network use: do not tap Fetch if you prefer the App to make no network requests at all.
- Local data: uninstalling the App removes everything it stored on your device.
Children’s privacy
PipLot is a trading calculation tool intended for adults. It is not directed at children, and Kotak Digital does not knowingly collect information from children.
Security
Because PipLot itself collects no personal data and stores your settings only on your device, there is no user account or server-side profile that could be breached. Data sent to third-party services is encrypted in transit.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated from time to time, for example when the App adds a feature or changes a third-party service. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated, and continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
