Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect:

• Your name and email address
• Dormitory / mess name and address
• Member names, meal records, bazar costs, deposits, and other financial data you enter

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used solely to provide the mess management service — tracking meals, calculating costs, generating reports, and communicating with you about your account. We never use your data for any other purpose.

3. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for hosting, analytics, email delivery, and advertising. These service providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data. We only share the minimum data necessary for these services to function.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account data as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time by contacting us. After deletion, all associated data (members, meals, deposits, costs) is permanently removed from our systems.

5. Cookies

We use essential session cookies to keep you logged in. Third-party ad networks (Adsterra, Google AdSense) may use cookies for ad personalization. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS) for all data transmission. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. However, no online service is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
