How we handle your data

Dana explicitly requests permissions from users to share their transaction SMS alerts and device data to analyse creditworthiness of borrowers based on digital footprints to assist credit-excluded potential borrowers to have access to finance through by our partner financial institutions
Customer device data or transaction data does not leave their device, we only take meta data required for credit eligibility check. Neither Dana nor financial partner can see any exact transaction SMS alert of potential borrowers, rather only key words having score weights go to system in meta data format. Dana determines the weights of multiple data points using machine learning techniques
Our partner financial institutions use alternative data and credit scoring engine as alternative to traditional financial data used in underwriting. Each potential borrower is evaluated according to the same criteria in a fully automated method by our algorithms.
