Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 2026 • Compliant with Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023
1. Overview & Our Commitment
Welcome to ChennaiHomes.rent. We respect your personal privacy and are committed to protecting any information you share with us. We believe that finding a home should be transparent, honest, and completely free of spam.
2. Information We Collect
For Tenants / Seekers: When you choose to connect with a property owner on WhatsApp, we request your 10-digit mobile number once. We store this locally in your browser and on our secure server solely to log your inquiry for the landlord.
For Property Owners: When you list a property, we collect your contact phone number, property location, monthly rent, and deposit expectations to display on our rental map.
Anonymous Crowd Data: Tenants who submit rent drops do so 100% anonymously without attaching their name or personal identity.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use your information exclusively to:
- Enable direct tenant-to-landlord communication on WhatsApp.
- Prevent commercial real estate brokers and automated bots from harvesting owner phone numbers (via daily contact limits).
- Provide transparent neighborhood rental averages across Chennai.
We NEVER sell, rent, or lease your phone number or email to third-party telemarketers or loan agents.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
We use local storage strictly to remember your verified status and daily contact unlock counts so you do not have to re-enter your mobile number on every property view.
5. Contact Data Protection Officer
If you have any questions regarding your personal data or wish to have your property listing or phone number removed from our directory, please email our team at support@chennaihomes.rent. We fulfill removal requests within 24 hours.
