Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Plugtech Technologies Private Limited ("Legit", "we", "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal data when you use the Legit app, website, and services (the "Platform"). Read it with our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines. We handle personal data under applicable Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (the "DPDP Act").

Legit is for adults aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have done so, we will delete it.

1. Data we collect

Data you give us

  • Account data: your phone number and sign-in activity. MSG91 sends the one-time password by SMS.
  • LinkedIn data: when you connect LinkedIn, we receive your LinkedIn member identifier, name, primary email and email-verification status, and profile photo. We copy the photo to our storage for your Legit profile. We do not store the LinkedIn access token.
  • Profile data: your display name and profile photo. If no photo is available, the app shows your initials.
  • Marketplace content: listing and Seek descriptions, photos, prices, condition, ownership proofs, purchase date when supplied, shelves, and related details.
  • Chat and safety content: messages, reactions, attachments, reports, blocks, and notes that you submit.
  • Voice data: an audio recording when you choose voice entry, and the resulting English transcript.
  • Support data: information you send when you ask for help or exercise a legal right.

Data collected from your device

  • Location: your current coordinates when you allow access. We use them to check whether the Platform is available in your area.
  • Push notification data: the device token, platform, app environment, and app version needed to deliver notifications.
  • Usage and diagnostic data: app screens and actions, closed event labels and count ranges, Legit user identifier, device and browser details, IP address, performance traces, and error reports.
  • Website data: cookies, local storage, and similar identifiers needed for sessions, analytics, and diagnostics.

2. Artificial intelligence processing

Legit uses third-party artificial intelligence services. When you use the features below, your content may be sent to one or more of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and TypeSafe AI:

  • Listings and Seeks: descriptions, photos, ownership proofs, and related product details are used for moderation, extraction, classification, image checks, and proof review.
  • Text checks: the typed or transcribed text of a listing description or Seek is sent to TypeSafe AI. TypeSafe AI checks whether the text names an item, screens it against our marketplace rules, and reads the condition and budget in a Seek. We use the results to guide our other automated reviews. Before we send the text, we remove the phone numbers, email addresses, UPI IDs, and links that we detect. TypeSafe AI does not receive photos, audio, account details, or location data. TypeSafe AI states that it does not train its models on this text.
  • Voice entry: the audio recording is sent to OpenAI for transcription into English. The transcript then follows the same review process as typed text.
  • Suggested chat replies: listing details and up to 20 recent text messages from the open conversation are sent to Anthropic or OpenAI to create reply suggestions.

Langfuse, our AI monitoring service, can receive AI prompts, outputs, operational identifiers, provider names, model names, and timing data. We do not add your account phone number to an AI request. Text or media that you submit can contain personal data that you chose to include. AI output can be incomplete or incorrect and does not replace your own judgement.

3. Why we use your data

  • To create and secure your account: send an SMS code, maintain sessions, and prevent abuse.
  • To verify members: connect a LinkedIn identity and apply Legit's verification rules.
  • To provide the marketplace: publish and search listings and Seeks, show profiles and shelves, and provide in-app chat.
  • To run automated features: moderate and review content, transcribe voice input, extract product details, and suggest chat replies.
  • To control availability: check whether your location is inside a live service area.
  • To protect the community: process reports and blocks, investigate abuse, enforce our rules, and meet legal duties.
  • To operate and improve the Platform: send notifications, provide support, measure product use, diagnose faults, and secure our systems.

We process personal data to provide services that you request and under other grounds allowed by the DPDP Act, including consent where the law requires it and processing needed to comply with law.

4. Who receives data

We disclose data only as needed for the purposes in this policy:

  • Other members and public visitors: the profile and marketplace details shown on the relevant screen, including published listings, Seeks, and shared shelves. Chat participants receive the messages and attachments sent in their conversation.
  • MSG91: phone number and one-time password data needed to send the sign-in SMS.
  • LinkedIn: authentication requests needed to connect your account. LinkedIn returns the profile data described in section 1.
  • Stream Chat: display name, profile-photo link, messages, attachments, reactions, channel state, blocks, moderation data, and link previews used for in-app chat.
  • OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, TypeSafe AI, and Langfuse: the AI content and trace data described in section 2.
  • Amazon Web Services, including ElastiCache: application hosting, media storage, logs, queues, sessions, and short-lived OTP records.
  • Firebase Cloud Messaging: push token and notification data needed to deliver a notification.
  • Mixpanel: Legit user identifier, closed event labels and count ranges, and standard device, browser, and network data. We do not send names, phone numbers, message text, listing text, or other free text to Mixpanel.
  • Sentry: Legit user identifier, IP address, error and performance data, and limited server log fields. We configure server logs to exclude member content.
  • Google Fonts: network request data, such as IP address and browser details, when the app downloads its typefaces.
  • Authorities and affected parties: data required by law, a valid legal request, enforcement of our terms, or protection of a person, the public, or Legit.

We do not sell personal data. We do not share your account phone number with other members. We do not use personal data for third-party advertising or track you across other companies' apps or websites.

5. International processing

Our main application hosting and media storage use the Amazon Web Services Mumbai region. Some providers process data outside India. Current examples include Sentry in Europe, and Langfuse and TypeSafe AI in the United States. AI, analytics, messaging, identity, notification, and font providers can also use systems in other countries under their service terms. We use contractual, access-control, and security measures for these transfers as required by applicable law.

6. Retention and account deletion

We keep account data while your account is active and keep other data only while needed for the feature, safety, fraud prevention, disputes, enforcement, accounting, or legal compliance. OTP records are short-lived. Session credentials expire or are replaced. Provider copies follow the provider's contract, service settings, and lawful retention duties. We delete or anonymise data when its purpose ends.

You can delete your account in the app at Profile > Delete Account. After you confirm, we disable the account and sign it out on all devices. We remove the phone number, name, email, profile-photo reference, LinkedIn connection, push tokens, reactions, shelves, and private drafts. We schedule the stored profile photo and private draft media for deletion.

We close published listings and Seeks and remove your identity from them. We retain those closed posts and their evidence when other members' chats, saved items, reports, or safety records depend on them. Past chats remain readable to the other participant under the name "Deleted member." We can also retain reports, moderation records, and data needed for safety, disputes, or law. A non-reversible deletion record remains without your name, email, or photo. You can later register as a new member with the same phone number or LinkedIn account, but the new account does not recover the old account's data.

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you can:

  • ask for access to and a summary of your personal data;
  • ask us to correct, complete, or update it;
  • ask us to erase it;
  • withdraw consent, which can limit features that need the data;
  • nominate another person to exercise your rights after death or incapacity; and
  • raise a grievance.

Use the in-app deletion control or contact the Grievance Officer below. We can ask for information needed to confirm your identity before we act.

8. Security

We use technical and organisational controls designed to protect personal data, including access restrictions, encrypted connections, scoped storage access, and monitoring. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We respond to reportable personal-data breaches as required by law.

9. Analytics, diagnostics, and tracking

Mixpanel analytics and Sentry diagnostics start when the app launches, before sign-in. They can use cookies, local storage, or similar identifiers. We do not use the advertising identifier, show targeted advertising, or track members across other companies' apps or websites. We do not send OTP codes, raw chat messages, listing text, search text, phone numbers, or names to Mixpanel.

10. Changes to this policy

We can update this Privacy Policy as the Platform or law changes. We will change the "Last updated" date and give reasonable notice of a material change.
