Privacy Notice

ApnaSociety is a society-based local marketplace. We collect only what is needed to run it.

What we collect

• All users: name, mobile number (verified by OTP) and, if you add it, email.
• Sellers: society, flat number, business name and description, categories, logo, and the listings, photos and prices you publish.
• Enquiries: the messages you send and receive on the platform.
• Reports and usage: listing reports you submit, and simple usage counts such as listing views and contact clicks. Administrative and verification actions are recorded in an audit log.
• A session cookie that keeps you logged in.

Why we use it

To let you log in, to verify that sellers belong to the society they claim, to show listings, to let buyers and sellers talk to each other, to moderate content, and to measure how the marketplace is used.

Who can see what

• Everyone: a seller's business name, description, society or locality, categories, logo and published listings.
• Never public: flat numbers, mobile numbers and verification records.
• Society manager (your society only): an applicant's name, society and flat number, to verify membership.
• Platform administrator: account details needed to manage users, verification and moderation.
• Enquiries: only the buyer and the seller involved.
