Privacy policy

Last updated 1 November 2026. Questions: support@jaidadfinder.com.

1. Who is responsible

Jaidad Finder is building Pakistan's live plot map: every plot of a housing society on one satellite map, with its official approval, so buyers at home and abroad can check a plot before they pay. It starts with Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Jaidad Finder operates the website jaidadfinder.com and is responsible for the personal data described here. To ask about your data, correct it, or have it deleted, email support@jaidadfinder.com.

2. What we collect, and why

What	When	Why
Name, email, phone number	When you enquire about a listing, claim a plot, or create an account	So the agency / dealer can reply to you, so staff can check your claim, and so you can sign in
An agency / dealer’s mobile (or landline) and WhatsApp number	Agencies / Dealers, when they register and on their Settings page	Printed on each of that agency / dealer’s listing pages, under “Contact the agency / dealer”, so a buyer can call or message them directly — the mobile stands in as the WhatsApp number when no other is given. Shown only while the listing is live.
Your Google account id and the name and email Google shares	When you sign in with Google	To recognise you next time without a password. We never see your Google password.
Saved plots and saved searches	When you save them	To show them on your account page and to notify you when a saved plot comes up
Search queries you type or speak	When you search	To run the search, and in aggregate to see which areas and sizes people are looking for
Listings (including photographs and any video) and uploaded documents	Agencies / Dealers, when posting a listing or verifying their account	To publish the listing — a video is hosted unlisted on YouTube (section 5) — and to let staff check the documents by hand
A browser push subscription: the address your browser gives us for notifications, and its two keys	When you switch on “Tell me on this device” on your account page	To tell that device when a saved plot comes up. Kept until you switch it off or the browser drops the subscription; it names a device, not a location.
Your WhatsApp number and the fact that you opted in	Agencies / Dealers, when they tick the WhatsApp box on registering	To send new enquiries, reminders, decisions on documents and receipts on WhatsApp. Kept until you switch it off from your dashboard or reply STOP.
Your location (from your browser, only if you allow it)	When you ask Ask AI or the listings page for what is near you, or which plot you are standing on	To list what is for sale or rent nearest you and how far away it is, or to find the plot you are on. Used for that one answer and then discarded: it is not stored, not logged and not linked to you.
A salted hash of your IP address	When you enquire, search, or attempt to sign in	Rate limiting and counting demand for a plot. We do not store the address itself, and the hash cannot be turned back into it.

We do not run advertising trackers and we do not sell personal data.

3. Voice search

On Chrome, speech is transcribed by the browser itself: the audio goes to Google’s own speech service and never reaches our server. On an iPhone or iPad speaking English, it goes to Apple’s speech service in the same way. On browsers that cannot transcribe locally — and for Urdu on Apple devices — the audio is sent to our server, which forwards it to a transcription provider (Deepgram) and returns the text. We do not store the audio, and we do not store the transcript either; only the search you then run is kept, like any other search query.

4. Cookies and sessions

Signing in sets a session cookie. It is httpOnly, so scripts on the page cannot read it, and it expires after 24 hours. Signing in with Google also sets a second httpOnly cookie for five minutes, used only to check that the sign-in was started from this site. We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Signing in with Google involves Google’s own cookies, which are governed by Google’s privacy policy. We count visits to the public pages with Ahrefs Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and does not identify you, and with Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies on this site to tell a returning visit from a new one. Google Analytics’ advertising features are switched off. Neither is loaded on account, dashboard, password or staff pages.

5. Videos from other platforms

Some plot, block, society and agency / dealer pages show an agency / dealer’s own video from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook. We embed the video from the agency / dealer’s account; we never copy or host it. Until you tap a video, nothing is loaded from those platforms and nothing about you is sent to them: the picture you see is a still we hold. When you tap, the platform’s own player opens on this page, and from then the platform (Google for YouTube, TikTok, or Meta for Instagram and Facebook) receives what any website you visit receives – your IP address, your browser’s details and the address of this page – and may set its own cookies, under its own privacy policy. YouTube videos are embedded in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode.

The platforms send us nothing about you. On our own side we count that a video card was shown, tapped, played to the end, or failed to play, and which button you pressed beside it, with a random number for your browser tab, never your name, account or phone number.

If you are an agency / dealer who adds videos, we keep the link to your profile and to each video, the code you used to show the account is yours, the screenshot you sent us for that, and your answers about who made the video and whether it was paid for. We keep these while your videos are on the site and for a year after, so that we can answer a complaint about a video with the record of what you told us.

We also look for public videos about the societies on our map: on YouTube with YouTube’s own API, and on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook through a web search engine’s index (and, where it answers, TikTok’s public search). We may show one beside its society or block marked “From YouTube” (or TikTok, Instagram, Facebook), “not a Jaidad Finder agency / dealer”, with its channel’s or account’s public name. What we read about such a video – its title or caption, its description, the account’s public bio – is refreshed or deleted within 30 days; we never copy the video or its pictures. If the video’s own description gives a mobile number and a price, we may send that number one WhatsApp message asking whether we may show the video with that number. We never show or pass on the number unless the answer is “Haan”; after “Nahi” or STOP we never write to it again. If such a video is yours, the “Your video? Claim it” link on it lets you show it as your own, or ask us to take it down.

Agencies / Dealers. When you enquire about a listing, your phone number — and your name, if you gave it — go to the agency / dealer who posted it. Once they have it, its use is their responsibility.
Buyers, if you are an agency / dealer. Your mobile (or landline) and WhatsApp number are printed on each of your listing pages, so anyone reading the page can call or message you. Your email address, picture, city and street address are not.
Service providers. Our servers and database run on Railway; email notifications are sent through an email provider; voice audio on non-Chrome browsers passes through Deepgram; Google provides sign-in. Each sees only what it needs to do its job. Videos that sellers upload for a listing are hosted unlisted on YouTube, so Google holds the video file under its own terms and it is not found by YouTube search.
The authorities. We will disclose data when required by Pakistani law, including under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016, in response to a lawful request.

7. Where your data is processed

Our hosting runs on Railway in its Singapore region (asia-southeast1), so your data is processed in Pakistan and in Singapore. If you are visiting from outside Pakistan — many of our users are overseas Pakistanis — this means your data leaves the country you are in.

8. How long we keep it

Questions typed or spoken to Ask AI are kept for 90 days, with any long number in them (such as a phone number) blanked out, so we can see what people ask and improve the answers. The answer’s text is kept with the question only when it was built from public map data — a plot, a listing, a society or a block, or its filling — and names no person and no phone number; otherwise only what kind of answer it was is kept. They are not linked to your account or your address, and they are deleted after that.

Account details, saved plots and saved searches: for as long as your account exists, then deleted when you ask us to close it.
Enquiries: kept so the agency / dealer and our staff can see the history of a plot; ask us to remove yours.
Documents uploaded for verification: kept as the record of what a claim or agency / dealer verification was decided on.
Push subscriptions: until you switch the device off on your account page, or the browser tells us the device is gone.
WhatsApp opt-in: until you switch it off from your dashboard or reply STOP.
Session cookies: 24 hours.
Voice audio and transcripts: never stored.

9. Your choices

You can use the map and read listings without an account and without giving us anything but the hashed IP address.
You can stop notifications from your account page. Notifications are by email, and on a device where you have switched them on, by browser push. Agencies / Dealers can opt into WhatsApp messages when they register, and switch them off from their dashboard or by replying STOP to any message.
You can ask us to show you, correct or delete the data we hold about you by emailing support@jaidadfinder.com. We may need to confirm it is you asking.

10. Security

Passwords are stored hashed, sessions are httpOnly cookies, connections use HTTPS, and access to the database is restricted to the systems that need it. No system is perfectly secure; if we learn of a breach affecting your data we will tell you.

11. Children

The site is for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18; if you believe we have, email us and we will delete it.

12. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy as the product changes and after legal review. The date at the top is the date of the current version.
