Community Social is the private social network for neighbourhoods; we hope that neighbours everywhere will use the Community Social platform to build stronger and safer neighbourhoods around the world. We use “Community Social” here to refer to the Community Social.com website and our iOS and Android apps (also referred to as our “Services”) that provide you with access to that platform. We also use “Community Social” to refer to the companies operating our Services.
Eligibility. Each person can only have one account per residence, and you may not share your account password with anyone else (even a family member sharing your home) or allow someone else to use your personal account. You must use your real name, not a pseudonym. If you are under 13 years old (or any older age of consent required to use social media services where you live), do not use our services or provide any data to us.
Address Verification. It is not OK to submit inaccurate registration information, or to register if you know you don’t meet our eligibility requirements. Providing false registration information violates our norms.
We make efforts to enforce our eligibility requirements,.

Preferences. By default, we subscribe you to email messages for your neighborhood and nearby neighborhoods and messages for SOS purposes. You can change your preferences about receiving messages from SOS, businesses, or other organizations on your app itself
Privacy. We know that you do not want spam or marketing phone calls from third parties, so we will never sell or rent your personal information to third parties, and we won’t share it with a third party unless we have your authorization. All offers are listed on your app in our Offers section. Our privacy policy explains how we handle member and visitor data collected and generated in the course of visiting or using Community Social. Please read it, as it forms part of this agreement.
Content. You retain all ownership rights to the text, photos, video, and other content you submit to Community Social (collectively, your “Content”). You give us permission, in the form of a nonexclusive worldwide license, to use, copy, and publish your Content based on your Community Social settings and the selections you make when posting and as otherwise described in our privacy policy.
Be A Good Neighbor. At Community Social, we believe that neighbourly behaviour is the foundation of healthy communities. Our Community Guidelines outline our expectations regarding appropriate use of Community Social. Do not provide us with any Content that you don’t have the right to publish, or that is defamatory, infringing, illegal or otherwise tortious. We do not proactively screen or monitor Content posted by members; however, we can remove Content posted by you, suspend, delete or deactivate your account or other privileges, or otherwise refuse service to you, if you violate this agreement or our other policies, or infringe intellectual property, or otherwise engage in behaviour that we think harms a Community Social neighbourhood.
Interacting with Other Members. Our Community Guidelines outline our expectations regarding appropriate use of Community Social, including how members interact with each other. While we hope other members will be neighbourly, we don’t control and aren’t responsible for their actions; we encourage you to do your own research before deciding to do business with another member. In using Community Social and its member-to-member transactional features (such as Market Place), you, like every member (including Forum, are acting on your own behalf and are responsible for your own decisions and actions, including posting Content and interactions with neighbours you meet through Community Social. If you write a recommendation or other comment about another neighbour or a business (for example, a recommendation of a tutor), be truthful, fair and neighbourly in your comments, and do not post any of their personal information (e.g., address, mobile number, or photos) without their permission. Some members take on a volunteer role as Lead for their neighbourhood, to help manage their neighbourhood on Community Social
Community Social does not interview, run background checks on, monitor, supervise, or control Community Social members, , and your use of Local Pages or any similar feature does not make us an employer, placement agency, representative, or agent of or for you or any other neighbour or service provider. If you and another member decide to work together, the two of you, and not Community Social, are responsible for complying with any laws that might apply, such as tax or employment laws. Community Social is not a party to transactions or disputes between members.
Feedback. Please feel free to share any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you have about Community Social with us, so long as you understand we may have already had the same idea, and you agree that we are free to use any feedback you voluntarily provide with no restriction or obligation (payment or otherwise) to you.
Text Messaging Alerts. If you use our text messaging service, note that text message alerts are not intended to replace any primary phone service, such as a traditional landline or mobile phone that may be used to contact emergency services. Community Social does not charge for sending text messages. Alerts sent via SMS may not be delivered if your phone is not in range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time; furthermore, within a coverage area, factors beyond the control of the user’s wireless carrier may interfere with message delivery, including equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather. You acknowledge that SOS alerts may not be timely received and that your wireless carrier does not guarantee that alerts will be delivered.
Copyright and DMCA. If you believe Content on Community Social infringes your copyright, you can reach our notification agent at Community Social.in
Email: copyright@Community Social.in.
Parental Controls. Parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services) may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to or inappropriate for minors.

If you have a dispute with another Community Social member, we hope that you will be able to work it out amicably. However, if you cannot, please understand that Community Social is not responsible for the actions of its members; each member is responsible for their own actions and behavior, whether using Community Social or chatting over the back fence. Accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes
General. This agreement does not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment or franchise relationship. To the extent allowed by applicable law, the English version of this Agreement is binding and other translations are for convenience only. Any unenforceable portion of this agreement shall be enforced to the maximum extent possible, and the remaining portions shall be given full effect. Our failure to act in a particular circumstance does not waive our right to act with respect to that or other circumstances. We shall be excused for any problem due to a circumstance beyond our reasonable control.
Our mission is to provide a trusted platform where neighbours work together to build stronger, safer, happier communities, all over the world.
We want all neighbours to feel welcome, safe, and respected when using Community Social. For that reason, we've developed a set of Community Guidelines describing what behaviours are – and are not – allowed on Community Social. The crux of our Guidelines can be boiled down to one simple statement: Everyone here is your neighbour. Please treat each other with respect.
We rely on you, the neighbours who make up the Community Social community, to report content that violates these Guidelines. Violating the Guidelines has consequences, which may include removal of content, suspension of posting privileges, or even a permanent ban from Community Social. Because of the diversity of people in any neighbourhood, please keep in mind that while something may be disagreeable to you, it may not violate our Community Guidelines.
The heart and soul of Community Social are the helpful conversations that happen between neighbours. When conversations turn disagreeable, everyone on Community Social suffers. Our Guidelines prohibit posts and replies that discriminate against, attack, insult, shame, bully, or belittle others.
Community Social is a communication platform that allows neighbours to mobilize and get stuff done like never before. However, favourite causes that are pushed too hard, political campaigning, and personal views on controversial issues will inevitably rub one’s neighbours the wrong way. We rely on our members to report those who are over-posting, campaigning, and posting or ranting about controversial, non-local issues.
Community Social cannot be used for
Fences are sometimes necessary. But online privacy is always necessary. Community Social makes it safe to share online the kinds of things you'd be okay sharing with your neighbors in person.
Here's how:

What are Community Social’s rules and expectations about member privacy and information?
Community Social can be a great way for members to come together and build community. To make it work, we have some clear ground rules and expectations about member information and privacy:
Violating any of the above or other aspects of the Community Social Member Agreement may lead to a loss of account privileges, potentially including a permanent ban from Community Social.
Community Social collects information a few different ways:
We collect information from you, when you give it to us directly or give us the OK to get it from another source.
For example, when you register for Community Social, you voluntarily provide your name, profile photo, email address, and similar information. Here are some other ways that you might provide us with information:If you decide to invite new members to join Community Social, you might share their residential or email address with us, or share your contacts with us, so we can send an invitation and follow-up reminders on your behalf.
We collect information from your browser, computer, or mobile device, which provide us with technical information when you use Community Social as a visitor or member. Like nearly every other online service, we automatically collect technical information created when you visit or use Community Social or read a message from us, including:
We collect information from our vendors and, in the India, from advertisers. For example, we obtain map information from mapping companies, and an advertiser may provide us with information about whether a sponsored post on Community Social led to purchases.
We collect information from public sources, such as census data, street addresses, property lot maps, and postal address change information. This helps us understand our members and potential areas for expansion.
We use information to identify and invite potential new members, and to set up new Community Social neighbourhoods.
We use information to get you started on Community Social:
We use information to operate Community Social and to improve our products and features:
Where available, we use information to provide and improve sponsored posts and other commercial offerings. Privacy is an important tenet on Community Social, so we do not give your personal information to advertisers without your authorization. Rather, we use information:
We work to give you control over what and how you choose to share on Community Social.
You have choices about sharing your profile information:
If you granted Community Social access to geolocation information from your mobile device, you can revoke that grant at any time by changing the settings on your mobile device.
You may choose to move your account to a new neighbourhood, or to deactivate or delete your account:
Community Social is a platform for neighbours to share helpful information with each other. To that end, we make the Content you post on Community Social, such as posts, replies, messages, and profile information, available to other Community Social members based on the preferences in your settings, the preferences on the Content you provide, and as described in this policy.
As we’ve said above, we know that you do not want spam or marketing calls from third parties, so we will never sell or rent your personal information to third parties, and we won’t share it with a third party unless we have your authorization.
A few words about advertising: With respect to advertisers on Community Social in the US (and elsewhere when available), you always have a choice as to whether or how you interact with a sponsored post or other advertisement (for example, by replying or “thanking” them for the post or by clicking to learn more about an offer). If you reply to a sponsored post or other offer, we send your reply to the advertiser, and we may log your interaction as part of tracking the overall effectiveness of the ad.
We may customize the sponsored posts or other ad offerings you see on Community Social based on information from our advertisers, on the demographics of your neighbourhood, or on your actions on Community Social. (For example, a home services company might prepare a de-identified scramble, or hash, of customer addresses, to allow us to match that with a similarly de-identified scramble (hash) of addresses of members on Community Social, and use that to offer a special deal to those customers who are Community Social members. Or, if you search on Community Social for a particular product, we might show you ads for providers of that product or related products.) In the future, we may also offer ads that are personalized based on your actions off Community Social; if we do this, we will provide you with notice and choices about it.
Our systems are not currently configured to accept browsers’ “Do Not Track” signals, as no industry-wide standard for handling them has been adopted.
In the future, we may offer you a feature that allows you to use your Community Social account credentials to log in to someone else’s services, apps, or websites. If you opt in to use this feature (for example, to sign a local petition), then with your permission, Community Social will provide the other service with your personal information, such as your name, address, and neighbourhood. Their use of this information, and other data about your use of their service, will be governed by their privacy policy.
In the future, we may present you the option to purchase goods or services through a third-party payment processor. If you choose to make a such a purchase, we may share your information with the payment processor as necessary to conclude the transaction, as well as with the company or person you’re buying from. Any information that you provide for sharing for this purpose will be subject to their privacy policy.
We share some aggregated information about our neighbourhoods with government agency members and other organizational members, such as statistics about neighbourhood activity and size. Because of the special role played by government agency accounts, we may provide agency accounts with limited identifying personal information (first name and last initial) for neighbourhood Leads, so that the agency can communicate directly with them.
We may also share aggregated or de-identified information with companies we do business with, including our advertisers (in the US or where available) as well as government agency members or other organizational members.
In limited circumstances (for example to highlight popular neighbourhood resources or topics on the neighbourhood's home page), we may make snippets of Content available, without your name or other identifying information, to the public (meaning non-members and search engines).
We may share your personal information with third-party service providers doing work for us. These third parties are contractually required to use it only to provide their service to us, and contractually barred from using it for their own purposes. (For example, we use a company to help test and analyze the performance of our website and mobile applications.)
We may share your information within our “corporate family”, meaning Club Concierge Services Pvt Ltrd., the company that provides Community Social in India. As we grow and Community Social becomes available in more countries, we may expand our corporate family by establishing local subsidiaries or other affiliates in these countries as needed to help us provide Community Social there. Upon or in anticipation of the merger or acquisition of our company and/or all or part of its assets, your personal information may be transferred. If you have questions about the Community Social family of companies, contact us.
Legal and Safety Reasons. We may retain, preserve, or share your personal information if we have a good-faith belief that (a) we are legally required to do so in response to a legal request (e.g., a subpoena, search warrant, court order, or other request from law enforcement) or (b) that it is necessary or appropriate to do so to protect our rights, property, or safety; to enforce our Member Agreement or any other agreements we have with you; or to prevent physical injury or other harm to any person or entity, including yourself and members of the general public. Our legal team reviews every request received from law enforcement, and we frequently seek modifications of requests that we believe are procedurally flawed or too broad.
Data Retention. We may retain your information in our server logs, our databases and our records for as long as necessary in light of the purposes set out in this privacy policy, subject to any legal obligations to further retain such information. We may retain your verification-related information for a reasonable period of time, even if you do not complete all verification steps, to assist with future verifications and to prevent abuse of our verification processes. If you decide not to verify the account and would like us to delete the verification information you provided, contact us.
Account Security. Community Social uses technical and organizational measures intended to keep your data secure, including using https on our web pages to reduce the risk of unauthorized interception of your communications during your visits to the website. However, the internet is not a fully secure environment and we cannot guarantee that your personal information won’t be intercepted or improperly accessed. Please ensure that you keep your password safe and do not share it with anyone.
Accessing Your Information. You can access much of your Community Social information by logging into your Community Social account. For EU members: If you require additional access or if you are not currently a Community Social member, email us at personal-info@Community Social.com to request a copy of your Community Social information.
If you live in India , the Services are operated and provided to you by Club Concierge Services Pvt Ltd.
Other Services and Websites. In using Community Social, you may come across links to websites and services operated by third parties (for example, if a member shares a link to a video on YouTube). These third parties have their own privacy policies, which will apply to your activity if you click on the link and access their website or service. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for such external sites’ privacy and security practices.
Amendment. From time to time we may make changes to this privacy policy. If we materially change our privacy policy, we will take steps to notify you in advance of the change, for example by emailing you or by posting a notice in your neighborhood feed. The most up-to-date version of the privacy policy is available here. If you continue to access or use Community Social after the date any revised privacy policy comes into force, you will be deemed to have consented to the revised privacy policy.
