Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

RoomCircle ("we", "us") is part of the Circle family of apps, operated by TekPal (Tekpal Consulting Pvt Ltd, Hyderabad). RoomCircle helps people in Hyderabad find or list a room to share. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices.

Your account is a shared Circle ID

RoomCircle does not run its own signup. Your account is your Circle ID - the same phone-verified login you use across PGCircle and every Circle sibling app. We collect your name and mobile number via one-time-passcode verification, proxied to pgcircle.org, which owns and secures that identity.

What RoomCircle itself stores

• Listings you post: HAVE/NEED type, area, rent or budget, gender preference, move-in date, and description.
• Connect requests you send or receive, including the message you write.
• Reports and blocks you submit, to keep the community safe.

This is app-specific data, separate from your Circle ID account. It never includes your GPS location - the "area" on a listing is a free-text/picker label you choose yourself, never device location.

How we use it

• To show your listings and connect requests to the people you interact with (a lister sees a requester's name and phone once they connect).
• To keep the community safe - reviewing reports and enforcing blocks.

What we never do

• We never sell your personal data.
• We do not run any advertising SDK and do not share your data with third parties for their own advertising.
• We do not access your device's precise location.

Data security

Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).

Your rights & data deletion

You can delete your RoomCircle data (listings, requests, reports, blocks) at any time from Profile > Delete my data - this removes only RoomCircle's own rows and leaves your shared Circle ID account untouched. To delete your Circle ID account entirely, contact PGCircle. Email privacy@pgcircle.org with any request and we will respond within 7 days.

Age

RoomCircle is intended for users aged 13 and over.
