This Privacy Policy explains how Bharat Vyapaar (“Bharat Vyapaar”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, stores and shares information when you visit this website, submit a network registration form, browse public business listings or send a business report.

1. Information we may collect

• Contact and registration details: name, email address, phone number, business or organisation name, role, industry and other details you choose to submit through forms.
• Business listing information: business name, location, contact or profile details, products and services submitted for directory publication.
• Reports and messages: information you provide when reporting a listing or contacting us, including the reason for a report.
• Technical information: limited technical data that may be processed by the website host or service providers to deliver, secure and maintain the website.

2. How we use information

• To respond to enquiries and registration requests.
• To review and manage business listings and network participation.
• To assess reports about potentially inaccurate or inappropriate listings.
• To maintain, secure and improve the website and prevent misuse.
• To meet applicable legal obligations and protect legitimate rights.

3. Public business listings

Information placed in the public business directory may be visible to visitors and searchable online. Please do not submit personal or confidential information that you do not want made public. We may review, correct, restrict or remove a listing where appropriate, but cannot guarantee that third parties have not copied information already made public.

4. Service providers and sharing

The website is published using GitHub Pages and uses Supabase services for certain database-backed features. Information may be processed by these providers to operate the website and its forms. We do not intend to sell personal information. We may disclose information where required by law, to address security or abuse concerns, or to protect rights and safety.

5. Retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including handling requests, maintaining business records, resolving reports and meeting legal obligations. We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no website or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

6. Your choices and requests

You may contact us to request access to, correction of or deletion of information you submitted, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping needs. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Public listing removal may not remove copies retained by search engines or third parties.

7. Cookies and third-party links

This website may load third-party resources, such as web fonts, and may link to external websites. Those services may process technical information under their own policies. This policy does not govern third-party websites.

8. Children

This website is intended for business networking and is not designed to solicit information from children. Please do not submit children's personal information through the website.
