At Khoji, accessible from the Khoji app and website, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Khoji and how we use it.

Information We Collect

Currently, the Khoji application is designed to be privacy-first. We collect the absolute minimum amount of data required to provide our service effectively.

• Location Data (City Level): We only collect the name of your City to show you relevant missing person cases nearby. We do not collect granular GPS coordinates or exact location data.
• Usage Data: We do not track individual user behavior or require user accounts for the general public to view cases.

How We Use Your Information

The city information you provide is used solely to filter and display missing person alerts relevant to your geographical area, enhancing the effectiveness of community search efforts.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. The city data is processed locally or ephemerally and is not stored permanently against an identifiable user profile.

Welcome to Khoji! By accessing this application, we assume you accept these terms and conditions. Do not continue to use Khoji if you do not agree to take all of the terms and conditions stated on this page.

Service Description

Khoji is a platform dedicated to helping find missing persons by broadcasting alerts to users based on their selected city. The information provided heavily relies on community and official reports.

Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all representations, warranties, and conditions relating to our app and the use of this app. The information on this application is provided in good faith; however, we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, or completeness of any information on the app.

User Responsibilities

• You agree to use the app for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of others.
• You acknowledge that the data presented is for informational purposes to aid in community awareness.
• Do not attempt to misuse the platform, interfere with its operation, or access it using a method other than the interface provided.

We prioritize your safety and data security. In compliance with Google Play Store Data Safety guidelines, here is a transparent breakdown of our data practices:

Data Collection & Purpose

* Admin and nodal officers have separate systems not applicable to public app users.

Security Practices

• Data encryption in transit: Your data is transferred over a secure connection (HTTPS).
• No Account Required: You can browse cases without creating a user profile.
• Data Deletion: You can clear your city preference from the app settings at any time.

Khoji strictly prohibits any content, activity, or behavior that involves, promotes, or depicts Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE). We maintain a zero-tolerance policy against such activities, particularly given Khoji's focus on missing persons and community safety.

Explicit Prohibition

• Any use of the platform to disseminate, request, or promote CSAE material is strictly forbidden.
• Users found in violation of this policy will have their access immediately and permanently revoked.
• We will preserve relevant data and report any illegal activities involving CSAE to the appropriate law enforcement authorities and international organizations like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

Reporting Procedures

If you encounter any content, case details, or user behavior on the Khoji platform that you suspect involves CSAE or poses a threat to a child's safety, please report it immediately:

• Email: Contact us directly at [email protected] with the subject line "URGENT: CSAE Report".
• Law Enforcement: We strongly encourage you to also report the incident immediately to your local law enforcement agency or national cybercrime portal.

Our team reviews all reports promptly and prioritizes investigations into CSAE allegations to ensure rapid removal of content and appropriate reporting to authorities.

As an application, we do not use traditional browser cookies for tracking. However, we may use local device storage (similar to cookies) to remember your preferences.

How We Use Local Storage

• City Preference: We store your selected city locally on your device so you do not have to select it every time you open the app.
• Essential Functionality: This data is strictly necessary to provide the service you requested (showing relevant local cases).

We do not use local storage or cookies for advertising, third-party tracking, or analytics that identify you personally. You can clear this data at any time by clearing the app data in your device's settings.
