Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 8, 2026
APS ("Aadan Pradan System", "APS", "we", "us", or "our") operates a digital marketplace connecting communities across Bharat to buy, sell, exchange, and donate goods. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website or join our early access waitlist, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
When you sign up for early access, we collect:
- Your name
- Your mobile number
- Your city or village
- What you intend to use APS for (buy, sell, exchange, or donate)
We may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and general usage data, to help us keep the site secure and understand how it's used.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To register you for early access and notify you when APS launches in your city
- To send you updates about APS over WhatsApp or SMS
- To understand demand across regions and improve our product
- To prevent fraud, abuse, and duplicate signups
3. WhatsApp & SMS Communication
By providing your mobile number, you consent to receive launch updates and product-related messages from APS over WhatsApp or SMS. We do not use your number for unrelated marketing and will not spam you.
4. How We Store and Protect Your Information
Your information is stored using reputable third-party infrastructure providers with industry-standard security practices. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only with:
- Service providers who help us operate the waitlist and send communications
- Authorities, when required by law or to protect our legal rights
- A successor entity, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
6. Cookies
We may use cookies or similar technologies to remember your language preference and understand basic site usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
7. Your Rights
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you've submitted by reaching out to us through the contact details on our website. We will respond to reasonable requests within a reasonable timeframe.
8. Children's Privacy
Our early access waitlist is intended for users who meet the eligibility requirements in our Terms & Conditions (18 years or older, or with the consent of a parent or legal guardian). We do not have an age-verification process, and we rely on users to self-certify their eligibility when signing up. If we become aware that we've collected information from a child without appropriate consent, we will delete it.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective Date" above. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
