Last Updated: 26 October 2026

At LocalChoice.in, we respect your privacy. We believe people should be able to discover local businesses, post classified advertisements, and connect with others without worrying about their personal information being sold or misused.

LocalChoice.in is a growing classified advertising platform focused primarily on South Delhi, followed by Delhi and other parts of India.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we handle it when you visit or use our website.

If our services, features, or pricing change in the future, we will communicate relevant changes through our website or other appropriate channels.

4. We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

Your trust matters to us.

LocalChoice.in does not sell or rent users’ personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

We are not in the business of selling user data, and we do not collect personal information with the intention of selling it.

We may use essential service providers, such as website hosting or analytics services, to help operate LocalChoice.in. These providers may process certain information as needed to perform their services.

Using such services is different from selling your personal information.

5. Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use LocalChoice.in.

This service helps us understand which pages people visit, how much traffic the website receives, and how we can improve the overall experience.

Depending on its configuration, Google Analytics may collect technical information, usage statistics, cookie identifiers, browser details, and approximate location information.

Google Analytics is a third-party service, and its processing of information is subject to its applicable privacy practices and settings.

We use analytics to understand website performance, not to sell users’ personal information.

Please share only the information you are comfortable making public.

LocalChoice.in does not control how other people use, copy, or share information that you voluntarily publish in a public advertisement.

If you delete an advertisement, copies may still remain temporarily in search engine results, cached pages, or third-party websites.

7. Cookies

LocalChoice.in may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, manage user sessions, and understand website traffic.

Google Analytics may also use cookies or similar technologies, depending on its settings.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website features.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate choices or obtain consent for non-essential cookies.
