Privacy Policy and Notice
Last updated: 27 October 2026
This notice tells you, in plain language, what personal data Asian Digital Solutions ("we") collects through MyMarket, why, who can see it, how long we keep it, and how you can control it. We follow the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its Rules. We process your data only after you agree, by ticking the box when you create your account. The box is never pre-ticked.
1. What personal data we collect, and why
| Data | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Your name and email address | To create and run your account, send the confirmation and password-reset emails, and show your first name on your ads. |
| Password (kept only as a scrambled, one-way hash) | To let you log in safely. We cannot read it. |
| Mobile number (optional) | To verify that you are a real person (a one-time code is sent by SMS) and, once verified, to show it to logged-in buyers on your ads. A number can be linked to one account only. |
| Your ads: title, description, price, city, item details, photos | To show your ad to buyers. Hidden data inside photos, such as GPS location and camera details, is removed when you upload. |
| Chat messages, favourites and reports you make | To let buyers and sellers talk, to save your favourites, and to handle abuse. |
| Your location, only at the moment you post an ad | To check that you are really in the city you post for, so buyers are not cheated by fake ads from far away. Your browser asks your permission first. We turn your position into the nearest town and keep only that town, never your exact position. If you do not allow it, you cannot post an ad, but you can still browse and chat. |
| Your IP address and basic request details | To block bots and attacks, limit abuse, and find faults. Kept for a short period only. |
| Your choices: agreement version and time, email-notification setting | To prove that you agreed, and to respect your settings. |
We take only what is needed for these purposes. We do not collect your bank, card, UPI, Aadhaar or PAN details. We do not show third-party advertising and we do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
2. Your consent
- When you create an account you tick a box saying you have read this notice and the Terms of Use and agree to us processing your data as described. You must do this yourself; we never tick it for you.
- Emails about new chat messages are a separate, optional tick box, also never pre-ticked. You can change it any time in Account.
- If this notice changes in an important way, we will ask you to tick the box again before you can post or chat.
- You can withdraw your consent at any time, as easily as you gave it: log in, open Account and use Delete my account. We then stop using your data and erase it (see section 7).
3. What other people can see
Your ads, your first name and the city in your ad are public. Your mobile number is shown only to logged-in users, and only after you verify it. Your email address is never shown to other users. Chat messages are seen only by you and the other person (and by us if we must look into a report).
4. Cookies and device storage
We use one essential login cookie. Your browser may also keep a copy of the site's files so it loads faster and works offline. We use nothing for advertising or tracking.
5. Who we share data with
We do not sell your data. Companies that process it for us, under our instructions: Google Cloud (hosting, database and photo storage, in India), Hostinger (sending our emails), Cloudflare Turnstile (a bot check on sign-up, log-in, sending verification codes and posting an ad; it sees your IP address and browser details to tell people from bots) and, when switched on, an SMS provider (sending verification codes). We share data with the police, courts or other authorities only when the law requires it or to protect people from serious harm. Your data is stored on servers in India.
6. How we protect it
The site uses HTTPS, passwords are hashed, login attempts are limited, bot checks are on, old logins end when you reset your password, and backups are kept in a private storage bucket. If a personal data breach ever affects you, we will tell you and the Data Protection Board of India, as the law requires.
7. How long we keep it, and deleting it
- We keep your data while your account exists, and only for the purposes above.
- When you use Delete my account, we immediately remove your profile, your ads and their photos, your chats, favourites and reports from the live site.
- Backup copies made for disaster recovery are overwritten automatically within about two months. We do not use them for anything else.
- We may keep a small amount of data longer only where a law requires it (for example, if a court or authority has asked us to preserve it).
8. Your rights, and how to use them
- See your data: Account → Download my data gives you a file with everything we hold about you.
- Correct it: change your ads in My ads, or email us to correct your name or other details.
- Erase it / withdraw consent: Account → Delete my account.
- Complain: write to our Grievance Officer (see below). We reply within 15 days and in any case within 90 days.
- Nominate someone: you may name a person to use these rights for you if you die or cannot act. Email us from your account email with the nominee's name and contact details.
If you are not satisfied with our reply, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India. Please first give us a chance to fix it through the Grievance Officer page.
9. Children
The site is for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect data of children and do not track or target them. If you think a child has an account, tell us and we will remove it.
10. Changes
We may update this notice. The date at the top shows the latest version. For important changes we will ask for your consent again.
