Our platform facilitates digital services related to community and society management. Residents may be required to make payments for various purposes, including but not limited to maintenance charges, amenity bookings, society-organized events or activities, and other community-related services. Additionally, the platform enables societies or management bodies to initiate and process transactions on a broader scale—such as vendor payments, service contracts, or infrastructure contributions—should the need arise. All such payments, whether resident-initiated or society-level, are processed through secure, compliant channels to ensure transparency and accountability.
9. User Data Retention and Deletion
We retain user data for varying durations depending on the type of information collected, its intended use, and any legal or operational requirements. The timeline and policies for data retention may also be guided by the society’s Resident Welfare Association (RWA) or Facility Management Team. Residents who wish to delete their account or request removal of their personal data must contact the society’s RWA or Facility Management Team through the designated communication channel (such as email or support contact). The RWA will assess whether any active dependencies exist—such as pending payments, ongoing service requests, or other society-related obligations. Based on this assessment, the RWA may approve or decline the data deletion request. Only after RWA’s confirmation will the user’s account and associated data be permanently deleted from our systems. Please note that users cannot delete their account or data directly through the app or platform. All requests must follow the above-mentioned verification and approval process. Some data may be retained beyond the deletion request if required for legal, regulatory, security, or financial record-keeping purposes. In such cases, only the minimum necessary information will be preserved for the mandated duration.
