- Performance of a contract: Processing is necessary to perform the contract for the purchase of consultation, packages, or services.

- Access to payment metadata within our systems is restricted to authorized personnel and logged via audit trails.
25. Automated Decision-Making & Profiling (Payments)
To detect and prevent fraud we and/or Razorpay may use automated systems that analyze transaction patterns and risk signals.
