1. Introduction

Your privacy is critically important to us. NextFlat aggregates rental listings from publicly accessible sources and direct user submissions. We also source verified listings through offline brokers and agents. Information aggregated from public channels is already publicly visible and accessible to anyone across the internet.

2. Information We Collect

AInformation You Provide Directly

  • Account details: name, phone number, and optional profile photo
  • Listing submissions: photos, monthly rent, deposits, descriptions, and society/locality details
  • Preferences and lifestyle badges (e.g. food habits, cleanliness, work schedule)

BInformation We Automatically Collect

  • Device identifiers, browser version, operating system, and IP address
  • Usage analytics: search filter selections, page views, and saved favorites
  • Performance diagnostics and application error logs

CPublicly Available Data (Aggregated or Imported)

We display public rental posts gathered from open internet sources:

  • Online platforms, real estate groups, and public forums that allow open access
  • Offline brokers, property agents, and bulletin listings
  • Aggregated records may include contact numbers, property images, rental descriptions, and original poster attribution published in the public domain.

3. How We Use Information

We utilise collected data to:

  • Operate and power the NextFlat discovery platform and map search
  • Facilitate direct connections between tenants, flatmates, and owners
  • Improve matching accuracy, algorithmic recommendations, and user experience
  • Detect fraud, verify genuine mobile numbers, and prevent duplicate spam
  • Comply with legal and statutory regulations in India

Please note: NextFlat does not independently audit or guarantee the factual accuracy of aggregated third-party listings.

4. Sharing of Information

We may share information with:

  • Other verified users when you interact or unlock contact details for a listing
  • Law enforcement or statutory authorities, strictly when legally mandated

We do not sell your personal contact numbers to advertising networks. We are not responsible for how third parties reuse public data that was already openly accessible online.

5. Public Data Disclaimer

Because NextFlat organizes publicly published shared accommodation listings:

  • We do not independently verify legal title or property ownership of aggregated posts
  • We are not liable for damages or misunderstandings resulting from reliance on public data
  • We do not officially endorse any specific tenant, poster, or landlord
  • We will promptly take down content upon receipt of a verified removal request

6. Data Security

We apply industry-standard technical and operational security safeguards to protect your personal profile data and authentication tokens. However, please remember that no transmission over the Internet or electronic storage mechanism is 100% impenetrable.

7. Your Rights & Data Deletion

You maintain full control over your personal account information:

  • You may access, update, or delete your user profile and active listings at any time
  • For aggregated public data, removal requests are granted when you confirm you are the original author and the source posting has been taken down

8. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new features, infrastructure, or regulatory requirements. Your continued interaction with NextFlat represents agreement with the latest posted version.
