Privacy notice

Last updated November 2026

This notice explains how Pincode Report ("we") handles personal data, in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. You can view reports without an account.

What we collect and why

• Searched locations — the place, pin position and any commute places you add, so we can build and cache the report. Cached data is keyed to a ~100 m map cell, not to you.
• Email address (optional) — only if you tap "Watch this area", so we can email you about changes to that area. We don't use it for marketing or share it.
• IP address — used only for rate limiting, to stop abuse and keep the service affordable. It is not used to profile you.

How long we keep it

• Rate-limit IP records are deleted after 7 days.
• Watch-list emails are kept until you unsubscribe.
• Cached location data expires between 6 hours and 30 days depending on the data source.

Who processes it

Location lookups are sent to Google Maps Platform to fetch air quality, weather, places and travel times. Our database is hosted by our cloud provider. We do not sell personal data.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or erase your data, withdraw consent for emails at any time, or raise a grievance. Write to privacy@pincodereport.com and we'll respond within a reasonable time.
