Privacy policy
How First Money Gold handles your information
Last updated 2 November 2026. This policy covers firstmoneygold.com. It does not replace the pawn ticket or KYC form you sign at a branch.
Who we are
First Money Gold, Usman Road, T. Nagar, Chennai 600017, India. Phone +91 63806 30242. Email firstmoneygold@gmail.com.
Information you give us
When you use a form, calculator, marketplace listing, or WhatsApp button, we may store:
- Your name, mobile number, email, town, and pincode.
- The message you type, and any gold weight or loan amount you enter as an estimate.
- The page you came from, including ad click identifiers when they are present in the link.
Location
The site asks the browser for your location only after you tap a branch-finder or WhatsApp action that needs it. If you allow it, we use the position to suggest a nearby branch and to put a map link in the WhatsApp message. If you refuse, the page still works and we use the town you picked or a default branch.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our server logs the IP address, browser type, and the pages requested. We also use:
- Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are used. Property ID G-L77J9VWJWX.
- Microsoft Clarity to see aggregated heatmaps of how people move on public pages.
- Google AdSense (publisher ca-pub-1221072690433087) to show ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve and measure ads, including ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can control personalized ads at Google Ad Settings. Google’s advertising policy is at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
How we use it
- To call or message you about the enquiry you sent.
- To assign that enquiry to a branch.
- To keep a record of marketplace listings and trade messages.
- To understand which public pages are useful, and to fund the site with advertising where AdSense is enabled.
- To meet record-keeping duties when you actually take a loan or sell gold at a counter.
Branch records
If you pledge or sell gold, the branch collects identity details required for a pawn or purchase. Those records stay in our loan system. They are not posted on the public website. Staff use them to issue the ticket, track interest, and return the gold.
Who we share it with
Branch staff who handle your enquiry or pledge. Hosting, email, analytics, and advertising providers who process data for the site. We do not sell customer lists. A marketplace listing shows only the details you choose to publish, such as the item description. Your phone number is not placed on the public listing page; buyers reach you through the WhatsApp step on that listing.
How long we keep it
Website enquiries are kept so the branch can follow up and so we can see whether the visit happened. You can ask us to delete an enquiry that did not become a loan or a purchase. Loan and purchase records are kept for the period required by the pawn-broker and tax rules that apply to that branch.
Children
The site is for adults who can sell or pledge gold. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Ask for a copy or a correction
Email firstmoneygold@gmail.com or use the contact form with the mobile number you used. We will correct or delete marketing-enquiry data that we are not required to keep.
