01Introduction
Welcome to Mr. Jhole. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your information when you use our mobile-first web application.
02Information We Collect
To provide our hyperlocal services, we collect the following types of information:
- Account Data: Phone number and OTP verification data.
- Profile Information: Name, handle, and bio.
- Location Data: Precise GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) to filter marketplace listings, auctions, and deals near you.
- Transaction Data: Details of items you list in Pasal, bids you place in Boli, and ideas you pitch in Tank.
- Communication: Messages sent through our in-app chat system.
03How We Use Your Information
We use your information for the following purposes:
- To provide and maintain our hyperlocal features (Pasal, Boli, Tank, Radar).
- To calculate distances between buyers and sellers.
- To facilitate real-time bidding wars in Jhole Boli.
- To manage your J-Points and leaderboard rankings.
- To notify you about messages, bids, and appointments.
04Data Sharing & Privacy Promise
Our Privacy Promise: We never share your exact GPS coordinates with other users. Coordinates are only used by our system to calculate "Distance Away" (e.g., "2.4 km away"). Other users only see your chosen "Area/City" and "Distance".
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Data is only shared when necessary to facilitate transactions (e.g., sharing your contact number with a buyer after a successful auction if you've opted in).
05Your Rights
You have the right to access, update, or delete your information at any time through your profile settings. You can also manage your saved addresses and revoke location permissions through your browser settings.
