Who we are
This policy covers the website mbanet.org.in and the MBA app, both run by Maratha Welfare Association, A/p Dhondewadi, Taluka Karad, District Satara, Maharashtra 415104. We do not sell your personal information.
What we collect
- About you: name, phone number, email address, date of birth and photo.
- About your business: business name, category, address, turnover range and similar details.
- Documents, if you choose to upload them: Aadhaar card, PAN card, birth certificate or leaving certificate, caste certificate, GST certificate and business registration certificate.
- Business location, if you choose to add it, so members can find businesses nearby.
- Activity in the app: referrals, one-to-one meetings, meeting attendance, enquiries and success stories.
- Payment records: amount, date, status and transaction reference.
How we use it
- To review your application and verify your identity and business.
- To list you in the member directory so other members can find you.
- To run referrals, enquiries, one-to-ones and gad meetings.
- To take payments and keep membership records.
- To contact you about your membership.
Who can see it
- Other members see your directory profile: your name, photo, business details and contact details.
- Your documents are seen only by the MBA administrators responsible for your gad and area. They are never shown to other members.
- Service providers who run parts of the service for us: Razorpay (payments) and Supabase (secure hosting). They use your data only to provide those services.
- Authorities, if the law requires it.
Payments
Payments are processed by Razorpay. Your card number, UPI PIN and bank login go directly to Razorpay and are never seen or stored by us. We keep only the payment record.
Storage and security
Your data is stored on secure servers in India (Mumbai region). Access is limited by role, so each administrator can see only the members in their own area. Documents are stored privately and opened only through short-lived secure links.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while you are a member. If a membership ends or is deactivated, the account is switched off rather than erased, so that records stay consistent. Payment records are kept permanently for accounting and legal reasons.
Your choices
- You can view and update most of your details in the app.
- You can ask us for a copy of your data, a correction, or to deactivate your account.
- Uploading documents and adding a business location are optional.
This website
This website does not ask for personal information, has no forms, and does not use tracking or advertising cookies. Our hosting provider may keep standard technical logs, such as IP addresses, for security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
