Privacy Policy
Last updated 13 September 2026
This policy explains what information GharFinder collects when you use our website and app, why we collect it, and the choices you have. GharFinder is a property marketplace for Pakistan that connects buyers and renters with sellers, owners and agents.
Information we collect
- Account details:your name, email address and mobile number, and the account type you choose (individual, owner, agent, builder).
- Listings you create:property details, price, photos and video, the location and address you set, and any description you write.
- Messages:conversations you have with other users through the platform.
- Usage and device data:pages you view, searches you run, and technical information such as your device type and approximate location, used to keep the service working and secure.
How we use your information
- To operate the marketplace: publish your listings and let buyers reach you.
- To verify accounts and listings, and to review content for safety and fraud.
- To show you relevant properties and improve search results.
- To contact you about your account, listings and enquiries.
- To meet legal obligations and enforce our terms.
What other people can see
A published listing is public: its details, photos and the map location you choose are visible to anyone. Buyers contact you through the platform, so you do not need to put your phone number or email in the listing text, and for your safety we ask you not to. Your account email and password are never shown to other users.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run GharFinder (such as hosting and messaging infrastructure) under confidentiality obligations, and where the law requires it or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
Cookies and sessions
We use a secure session cookie to keep you signed in and to protect against fraud and abuse. We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used. You can clear cookies in your browser at any time, though doing so will sign you out.
Keeping your information
We keep your information for as long as your account is active and as long as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes and meet legal requirements. When you delete a listing it is removed from public view; some records may be retained for a limited period for safety and legal reasons.
Your choices
- You can view and update your account details from your account settings.
- You can edit or remove your listings at any time.
- You can delete your account from the app or the website; after a 30-day grace period your personal details are permanently removed.
- You can ask us to access, correct or delete your personal information by contacting us at the address below.
Security
We protect your information with encryption in transit and access controls, and we never expose sign-in tokens to the browser. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
GharFinder is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we make significant changes we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you.
