Privacy notice

Last updated 11 November 2026. Draft pending legal review.

Dalits of India is a members-only community run as a social cause, not a business. We do not show ads, sell data, or use tracking or analytics on your activity. This page explains in plain language what we keep and why.

Who can join

Only people aged 18 or older. We ask you to confirm this when you apply and we do not collect your date of birth. If we learn that a member is under 18, we will remove the account.

What we collect

  • Your name, city, state, profession, skills, and the About, Experience and Education you choose to write.
  • Your phone number and email. These are private by default; they are shown only to accepted connections, and only if you turn sharing on.
  • An optional profile photo.
  • Your posts, replies, referral offers and requests, connection requests and messages.
  • Your sign-in details through Google, email or phone.

We use this only to run the community: to verify members, let members find and contact each other, and keep people safe.

Who can see what

  • Only approved members can see profiles. There is no public member list.
  • Your profile photo is shown to your connections only unless you choose otherwise in Privacy & profile. You can hide it from everyone.
  • Admins and moderators can see reports and the content reported, to keep the community safe.
  • Women-only spaces are visible only to verified women members.

Profile photos

Photos are stored privately and shown through short-lived links. We resize your photo and remove location data from it. Before a photo is accepted, it is checked automatically for inappropriate content. Members can report a photo and admins can remove it.

Who we share data with

We do not sell or share your data for advertising. The service runs on hosting providers (Supabase for the database and storage, Vercel for the website) and Google when you choose to sign in with Google. They process data only to provide those services.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account at any time in Privacy & profile → Delete my account. This removes your profile, photo, phone and email, posts, replies, offers, connections and messages. It cannot be undone. Copies in encrypted backups are removed when those backups expire.

Your rights and how to reach us

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, and you can raise a complaint with us. Write to contactus@dalitconnect.com.
