Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
This policy explains what information the Velachery (No. 26) citizen-services portal collects, how we use it, and how we protect it.
What we collect
For your account and sign-in: your mobile number (used for OTP verification), your name, and your ward/area.
When you file a grievance: the grievance description, photos, and location (GPS) only when you choose to share it. Your voice or text input when you use the Vetri assistant.
How we use it
To register, route, and track your grievance to the MLA office and the relevant constituency officers.
To verify you via OTP and to send status updates over SMS or WhatsApp.
Who can see your data
Your grievances are private by default — only you, the MLA office, and assigned constituency officers can see them. A grievance appears in the community feed only if you mark it 'public'.
Third-party services
We send OTPs through an SMS/WhatsApp provider. Voice and AI features use Google Gemini and ElevenLabs; place names are resolved via OpenStreetMap. We do not sell your data.
Data retention & your rights
You can update your profile at any time. To access or delete your data, contact the grievance officer at the helpline below.
