Kesinga (kesinga.com) is a free local business directory and community platform for Kesinga town, Kalahandi district, Odisha, India. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the site or app, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Account information. When you sign up, you give us your email address and (optionally) a name. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your email address, name and profile picture with us — we only request this basic identity information, never access to your Gmail, Drive, Calendar or any other Google data, and we never post to your Google account on your behalf.
Content you create. Posts, comments, reviews, business listings, job postings, marketplace listings, photos you upload, and any other content you choose to publish.
Payment references. If you subscribe a business listing to a paid plan, you pay us directly via UPI and submit a reference/UTR number for our team to verify — we never receive or store your card number, UPI PIN, or bank credentials.
Device information. If you opt in to push notifications, your browser's push subscription token. Your theme (light/dark) and language preference.
Usage data. We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how the site is used — pages visited, actions taken (such as viewing a listing or using search), approximate location (from IP address, not precise GPS), device/browser type, and, if you're logged in, a pseudonymous identifier derived from your account (never your actual email address) so we can see which features logged-in visitors use. Google Analytics uses cookies; see Google's own privacy policy for how Google itself processes this data.
To operate the Platform (show listings, posts, jobs and notifications you request), to let you sign in and manage your account, to verify business subscription payments, to send push notifications you've opted into, to understand and improve the product via analytics, to keep the Platform safe (moderation, fraud/abuse prevention), and to enforce our Terms of Use.
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember your preferences, and Google Analytics cookies to measure usage as described above. We don't use cookies for third-party advertising.
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with the service providers that run the Platform on our behalf, each bound to use it only to provide their service to us:
We otherwise disclose data only if required by law.
Our database enforces strict row-level security: your private data (profile details, notifications, payment history, push subscriptions) is only ever readable by you, the business team you belong to, or a platform administrator acting within their role — never by other users or businesses.
We keep your account and content for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide the Platform. You can edit or delete most content yourself at any time. To delete your account and associated personal data entirely, email us (below) — we'll action it within a reasonable time, except where we're required to retain certain records by law.
You can edit or delete your profile information, disable push notifications at any time, and switch between light and dark theme — your choice is synced to your account and follows you across devices once logged in. Browsing the Platform (viewing businesses, news, jobs and listings) never requires an account.
Kesinga is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
We may update this policy as the Platform evolves. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
For any privacy question or request (including data deletion), email connect@kesinga.com — this is the only way to reach the Kesinga team.
