1. Scope and Identity
Bariportal Enterprise ("we," "our," "us") operates the website and applications providing verified rental marketplaces and digital tenancy contract services in Bangladesh. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, store, safeguard, and disclose your personal details when you utilize our digital tenancy agreements, escrow payment checkers, and holding fee gateways. We are committed to maintaining the highest level of security and compliance with the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Act, 2006 (and its amendments) and the Digital Security Act of Bangladesh.
By using the Bariportal platform, you consent to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with any terms of this policy, please discontinue use of the platform immediately.
2. Personal Data We Collect
To maintain a trusted environment and eliminate fraudulent property listings, we collect personal information from both tenants and property owners:
- National Identity Proofs: Mandatory National ID cards (NID), passports, or utility receipts to verify landlord property deeds and tenant identities. This is processed securely and is cross-referenced with official databases to ensure credibility.
- Financial Records: Bank accounts, mobile financial services (MFS) details (such as bKash, Nagad, and Rocket), and digital payment credentials to execute booking escrow transfers and rent collections. We do not store raw card credentials or PIN codes on our platform.
- Property Ownership Proofs: Holding tax receipts, deed details, building approval maps, and photos uploaded by landlords to secure the verified listing badge.
- Communication Records: Audio recordings, chat histories, internal support tickets, and metadata generated when interacting via our integrated messaging systems.
3. Data Usage Principles
Bariportal utilizes user details strictly to support platform operations and enhance transaction security:
- Evaluating landlord property deeds to prevent rental fraud and bait-and-switch listings.
- Escrow management, holding deposit validation, and payout execution to payment processors.
- Filing required digital tenancy agreements under municipal rental frameworks and the Rent Control Act of Bangladesh.
- Providing dynamic analytics reports to property owners regarding occupancy, revenue trends, and tenant satisfaction scores.
- Improving user interface performance and preventing unauthorized access attempts or suspicious operations.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosures
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers. We only share information in the following limited contexts:
- Between Users: Sharing tenant NID verification status and contact details with the landlord after booking approval, and vice versa, to execute the rental agreement.
- Service Providers: Sharing details with secure payment processors (SSLCommerz, bKash, Nagad) and verification agencies to process payments and checks.
- Legal Requirements: Disclosing information if required to do so by law, or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency under the Digital Security Act).
5. Security of Data
The security of your data is of paramount importance to us. We employ state-of-the-art security measures, including SSL encryption for data in transit, AES-256 encryption for data at rest, and regular system vulnerability audits. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.
6. Policy Updates
We reserves the right to modify or replace this Privacy Policy at any time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the effective date. You are advised to review this policy periodically for any updates.
