Privacy Policy

We are committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors and subscribers to our Website or any application we make available via an app store (the “Application”, together with the Site, the “Platform”), and the corresponding services available through the Platform (“Services”).

This privacy policy governs the way we process any personal information that you provide to us. Any changes in information policies will be updated and communicated here immediately.

Please read this privacy policy in its entirety as it contains important information on who we are and how we collect, store, use, and share your information. By accessing the Platform or using our Services or otherwise indicating your consent, you agree to, and where required, consent to, the collection, use, and transfer of your information as set out in this policy. If you do not accept the terms of this policy, you may not use the Platform and/or the Services and later seek recompense of any nature due to incomplete cohesion. This privacy policy supplements other notices and privacy policies and is not intended to override them.

This privacy policy: (i) applies only to the aforementioned Platform and associated concerns such as our server provider, and not to websites or applications of any other companies or organizations; and (ii) specifically addresses our obligations pursuant to the laws of Bangladesh.

The Data We Collect About You

When you visit the Website or the Application, or become a member to access certain Services, you may be asked to provide information about yourself. This may include: (i) your name and contact details, including email address and telephone number; (ii) information to enable us to check and verify your identity; (iii) information regarding location data; (iv) information for billing, transaction, and payment and relevant history; and (v) such other information as we may from time to time require to provide certain Services in a complete fashion within the confines of applicable law. You agree and, where required, consent to, the collection of information about your usage of the Platform and the Services and information from messages and communications you send to us.

This information is required to provide the Services to you. If you do not provide such information, it may delay or prevent us from providing the Services in a complete fashion.

This privacy policy will also apply when accessing the Platform and/or the Services from mobile technology (such as mobile phones, tablets, or other devices). Unless you have chosen to remain anonymous through your device and/or platform settings, this information may be collected and used by us automatically if you use the Services and access the Platform from mobile technology.

Calls and Communications

Calls between you and Varabari BD, or between you and third parties made through Varabari BD (such as real estate agents you contact about a property through a form or link on our website, or using contact information found on our website), may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance and customer service purposes. Varabari BD uses a third-party service provider to track phone calls and text messages between you and real estate professionals so that we and the real estate professional can access certain details about the contact. As part of this process, Varabari BD and its service provider will receive in real-time and store data about your call or text message, including the date and time of the call or text message, your phone number, and the content of the text message.

Data Usage for Seamless Experience

At Varabari BD, we prioritize the privacy and data security of our users. Here's how we utilize user data for a seamless experience:

• Phone and SMS Access: We request phone and SMS access to facilitate direct communication between buyers and sellers through the "Call" or "SMS" buttons. This enables efficient and convenient interactions within the app.
• Location Access: In order to enhance user experience, we seek location access to display relevant property advertisements that are posted nearby. This ensures that users receive localized and tailored property listings.
• Push Notification Access: Our app requests push notification access to promptly notify sellers about any updates or inquiries related to their posted ads. Additionally, users receive notifications about new ads in areas they have chosen, ensuring they stay informed about potential property opportunities.

Personal Data Deletion

You may request that we delete your personal data by emailing us at support@varabari.com. We will endeavor to comply with such deletion requests, but in certain circumstances, we will be unable to delete your personal data as we may be required to retain it for legal, regulatory, and/or compliance reasons (and we may not be able to communicate why we cannot delete such data due to confidentiality obligations that we may be under). We may ask for proof of your identity before deleting any information and reserve the right to refuse to delete information if your identity is not established. We reserve the right to charge a fee in respect of any deletion request.

At Varabari BD, transparency and user control over data are fundamental to our operations. We strive to uphold privacy standards and comply with applicable laws and regulations to protect the data of our valued users.
