Naming or photographing a domestic worker, delivery rider or stranger as "suspicious".
Rule 3 · Never accuse in public
Safety & privacy
Verified enough to trust. Private enough to relax.
Knowing someone lives on your street shouldn't mean handing them your flat number.
What neighbours see
We verify your address. We don't publish it.
Visible to neighbours
Your first name and last initial, your block or wing, your colony name, and anything you choose to write in your profile.
Never visible to anyone
Your flat number, your phone number, your email, the document you verified with, and your exact location. Businesses see none of this either.
Not on Google
Nothing posted inside a colony feed is public or indexed by search engines. There is no public profile page.
No contact scraping
We never ask for your contact list, and we don't sell or share personal data with advertisers.
Leave cleanly
Delete your account and your posts, replies and verification documents go with it, within 30 days.
Moderation
Run by residents, backed by us.
Every colony has two to five volunteer moderators who live there. They handle the day-to-day. Our team handles anything serious, in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, Malayalam and English.
- Report any post in two taps, anonymously
- Serious reports — threats, harassment, doxxing — escalate to our team immediately
- Politics and religion are kept out of the main feed by policy, not by mood
- Repeated breaches remove the address, not just the account
What gets removed
Posting anyone's phone number, flat number or vehicle photo without their consent.
Rule 5 · No doxxing
Political campaigning, religious appeals, or forwarded messages with no source.
Rule 7 · Keep the feed usable
Community guidelines
Seven rules, and we mean all of them.
These aren't buried in the terms. They're the whole deal.
Be a neighbour first
You will meet these people at the gate. Write like it.
Use your real name
The one your neighbours would recognise. Pseudonyms and joke names get removed.
Never accuse in public
If you believe a crime has happened, call the police. Do not post photos of people you suspect, and do not describe them by community, religion or region.
Post it where it belongs
A block problem doesn't need 4,000 people. Choose the smallest radius that solves your problem.
Don't share what isn't yours
No phone numbers, addresses, vehicle plates, CCTV stills or photos of children other than your own.
Say if you're selling
Recommending your own business without saying so is the fastest way to lose your page.
Leave politics and religion out
There are a hundred places online for that argument. This is where you find out about the water tanker.
