Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July, 2025

Welcome to Urban Pune. We are a community platform dedicated to connecting people in Pune. This Privacy Policy explains our commitment to personal data protection and how we handle your information across all our services, ensuring a transparent and trusted Pune platform.

1. What Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to enable the functionality of our platform. This includes:

  • Contact Details: Your name and phone number when you post a property listing Pune, a job opening, a blog, or a business profile.
  • Listing Content: Information about your listing, such as property details for a PG in Pune, job descriptions for jobs in Pune, content for Pune blogs, or service details for your business listing in Pune.
  • Technical Data: Non-personally identifiable information like browser type and IP address to maintain platform security and prevent misuse.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used strictly to operate and improve our services:

  • To publish your listings and content so they are visible to the community.
  • To enable direct communication between users (e.g., a potential tenant contacting a property owner).
  • To monitor our platform for safety, prevent fraud, and ensure a secure listing environment.
  • To respond to your support queries and feedback.

3. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

We believe in transparent and ethical data handling:

  • We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers.
  • We do not use your personal information for targeted advertising.
  • We do not store sensitive financial details. All payments are handled by a secure, certified payment gateway.

4. User Safety & Responsibility Guidelines

While we work to maintain a safe platform, your security is also in your hands. Please follow these best practices:

Dos

  • Always verify the authenticity of a listing (property, job, or service) before making any commitments.
  • Arrange to meet in a safe, public place for initial interactions whenever possible.
  • Report any suspicious activity or fraudulent listings to our support team immediately.

Don'ts

  • Do not make any advance payments or deposits before physically verifying a property or confirming the legitimacy of a service/job.
  • Do not share sensitive personal information (like Aadhar, PAN, or bank details) with unverified users.
  • Do not trust users who pressure you into making quick, uninformed decisions.

Important Security Disclaimer

Urban Pune is a public-facing classifieds platform. We facilitate connections but are not a party to any transactions or agreements between users. We are not liable for any financial or personal loss. Always exercise caution and perform due diligence.

5. Use of Cookies

We use essential cookies to ensure our website functions correctly, such as keeping you logged in. We do not use them for tracking or advertising. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

6. Links to Third-Party Services

7. Data Security Measures

At Urban Pune, we value your trust and take appropriate steps to keep your shared information safe and responsibly displayed. Whether you're posting a PG, listing your business or property, or sharing a blog, our system is designed to show relevant details publicly while respecting your privacy. We recommend users to avoid sharing sensitive personal information in any public listing or submission.
