Privacy Policy

This policy applies to www.think4buysale.in and every service Think4BuySale operates. The Data Fiduciary — the person who decides why and how your personal data is processed — is Mr. Satish Dwivedi, Sole Proprietor, trading as Think4BuySale.

• Account data — your name, email address, mobile number, city, account type, and a password if you set one. Mobile number is required for every lister account, so buyers can reach you and so a listing has a person behind it.
• Profile data (agents and builders) — business name, RERA registration, years of experience, cities and categories you work in, office address, website and social links, your company logo, and the “About” text on your profile. This is published on your public profile page, which is why we ask for it.
• Verification documents — where you submit identity or registration documents for a verified badge, we keep them to carry out and record that check. They are never published and are not shown to buyers or to other listers.
• Listing data — everything you publish about a property: address, price, area, specifications, photographs, floor plans, brochures and video links.
• Enquiry and requirement data — your name, contact details and what you are looking for, when you contact a lister or post a requirement.
• Usage data — pages viewed, searches run, listings saved, approximate location derived from your IP address, and basic device and browser information. We use it to count listing views, show you relevant results and keep the service secure.
• Communications — messages you send us, and delivery records for emails and one-time codes we send you.

We do not knowingly collect any of the categories the law treats as sensitive — health, biometrics, caste, religion, sexual orientation or political belief — and we ask you not to put them in a listing, a profile or an enquiry.

• From you — when you create an account, complete onboarding, publish a listing, send an enquiry or post a requirement.
• Automatically — cookies and similar technologies when you use the site (see below).
• From Google — if you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile photograph from that account, and nothing else.
• From public sources — see the next section.

To make the directory useful from day one, we sometimes create a basic profile page for a real estate agency from information the business has published itself — its name, locality, website, business listing, and the phone number, WhatsApp number, email and contact name it publishes. If this describes you, please read this section carefully.

• The public page shows business information only. The business's published phone number may be shown to a buyer who has given us their own name and mobile, exactly as for any lister.
• We may invite you to claim it — a WhatsApp message or an email to the contact details the business publishes. Every email carries a one-click “Don't email me again” link, and a reply to either asking us to stop is honoured too: we add you to a suppression list so you are not contacted or imported again.
• Buyers can enquire about an unclaimed profile, and a matching buyer requirement may be assigned to it. Those enquiries are held, not sent: nothing goes to the business until it claims the profile and accepts our Terms.
• You can claim it at any time by signing in with the business's own email or mobile number — at which point it becomes yours to edit or delete.
• You can have it removed. Email [email protected] from the business and we will take the page down, and add the business to a suppression list so it is not imported again.

• To run your account and sign you in, including one-time codes and email verification links.
• To publish your listings and profile, and to deliver enquiries about them to you.
• To share your enquiry with the lister you contacted, or your requirement with matching agents.
• To review listings, profiles and uploaded media before they go live, and to carry out verification checks.
• To show relevant search results and recommendations, and to count listing views.
• To send service messages — a listing approved, an enquiry received, a plan about to end. You can opt out of marketing messages at any time; service messages about your own account continue.
• To detect and prevent spam, fraud and abuse, and to comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal data. We share it only:

• With the lister you contacted — your name and the contact details you gave, so they can reply. Nothing else.
• With up to 5 matching agents — when you post a requirement, and only after it has passed our checks: reviewed by our team, or released automatically when you are signed in with a verified mobile and a clean history.
• With service providers — hosting, email and SMS delivery — under confidentiality obligations and only for those purposes.
• Where the law requires it — a court order or a lawful direction from a government agency.

A lister's published profile, and everything in a published listing, is public by design: it appears on the site and may be indexed by search engines. Your phone number is never printed on a public page. It is shown only to a visitor who has given us their name and mobile number — tapping Call or WhatsApp is recorded as an enquiry, with their details passed to you — only while “show my number” is on in your profile, and only up to a daily limit per visitor, so numbers cannot be harvested.

When you enquire, the lister receives your details so they can respond about that property. Using them for anything else — repeated marketing, selling them on, adding you to a list — breaks our Terms of Use, and we remove accounts that do it. If a lister contacts you improperly, tell us at [email protected] and we will act on it.

• Account and profile data — while your account is open, and for a short period afterwards so an account closed by mistake can be restored.
• Listings — while published, and as archived records afterwards so a dispute about what was advertised can be answered.
• Enquiries — for up to 24 months, so both sides can refer back to what was asked.
• Verification documents — only as long as needed to carry out and evidence the check, then deleted.
• One-time codes — stored only as hashes, and only until they expire.

The site is served over HTTPS. Passwords are stored as salted hashes and never in readable form; one-time codes are stored as hashes too. Access to personal data is restricted to the people who need it to run the service, and sessions can be revoked everywhere at once if an account is compromised.

No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your personal data we will notify you and the Data Protection Board of India as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 requires.

We use a small number of cookies and similar storage: essential ones that keep you signed in and remember your shortlist and city, and analytics ones that tell us which pages and searches work and which lead nowhere.

We do not use advertising, retargeting or third-party tracking cookies, and no Google Analytics.

Change your choice at any timewith the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page; switching Analytics off deletes the analytics storage straight away. Blocking essential cookies will sign you out and lose your shortlist.

Think4BuySale is not intended for anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect data about children. If you believe a child has given us personal data, write to [email protected] and we will delete it.

You can, at any time:

• See and correct your data — most of it is editable in your profile and dashboard.
• Hide your phone number from enquirers, from your profile settings.
• Delete individual listings yourself, or ask us to delete your account and the data attached to it.
• Withdraw consent for anything you consented to, including marketing messages.
• Ask for a summary of the personal data we hold about you and who we have shared it with.
• Nominate someone to exercise these rights on your behalf if you die or become incapacitated.
• Complain — first to us, and then to the Data Protection Board of India.

Write to [email protected] from the email address on your account. We acknowledge within 24 hours and respond within 15 days. Some data must be kept where the law requires it — if we cannot delete something, we will tell you why.

This policy is written to comply with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Under it, Mr. Satish Dwivedi, Sole Proprietor, trading as Think4BuySale is the Data Fiduciary and you are the Data Principal. We process your personal data for the purposes set out above, on the basis of your consent or of a legitimate use the Act recognises — for example, delivering the enquiry you chose to send.

You are asked for consent in clear language at the point it is needed, and can withdraw it as easily as you gave it. Withdrawing consent does not undo processing already carried out lawfully.

Listings and profiles may link to other websites — a developer's site, a brochure, a video. We do not control those sites and this policy does not cover them. Read their own policies before giving them anything.

We may update this policy. When we do, we change the effective date at the top of this page, and for a significant change we tell registered users by email or in the app.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
