This Privacy Policy explains how RenTNads ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website and services. RentNads is a rental ads platform built exclusively for Tamil Nadu.

1. Information We Collect

• Your name and WhatsApp number when you post an ad -- your WhatsApp number is used both to identify your account and as your login password, and to receive enquiries about your ad
• Ad details, photos, and pricing you submit as an Advertiser
• Location details such as city, locality, and address you provide for a listing
• Payment details when you pay for a Basic, Standard or Premium plan, processed securely through Razorpay -- we do not store your card, UPI, or bank details
• Usage data such as pages visited, searches performed, and device/browser information

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage the account automatically generated for you when you post an ad
• To display your ad to Viewers and Tenants browsing the website
• To process your one-time posting payment through Razorpay and send related notifications, including renewal reminders
• To let Viewers and Tenants contact you directly about your ad
• To improve our website, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms and Conditions

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. Because RenTNads is built for direct contact between Advertisers and Viewers, your name and WhatsApp number are shown publicly on your ad so that Viewers and Tenants can contact you directly -- this is a core part of how the platform works, and by posting an ad you consent to this. We also share information with service providers who help us operate the platform, such as Razorpay for payment processing, and when required by law.

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences (such as currency and language), and understand how the platform is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no online platform can guarantee complete security.

6. Your Choices

You can view account information at any time from Ad Status by logging in with the WhatsApp number you used to post your ad. You may request that we delete your account, ads, and associated personal data by contacting us, subject to any legal requirement to retain certain records.

7. Children's Privacy

RenTNads is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
