Privacy policy
This policy explains how Rentmin (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and deletes information when you use the Rentmin mobile app (including Android) and the website at rentmin.com. It is written to be transparent about personal information and device data, including the categories Google Play asks developers to disclose.
Rentmin is a rental marketplace for partitions, bedspaces, studios, and apartments. Guests browse listings and send stay requests. Landlords publish listings and manage requests. Staff may use admin tools to keep the service safe.
By creating an account or using the app or site, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, do not use Rentmin.

Use the email above for access, correction, export, or deletion requests. Write from the email address on the account so we can verify it is you.
Personal and sensitive user data we collect
We collect only what we need to run accounts, listings, bookings, and security. You provide most of it. Some of it is created when you use the app (for example session tokens on your device).
Account and contact information
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number (optional, if you add it)
- Account role (guest, landlord, or staff)
- Optional profile photo URL
- Whether the account is marked verified
- Account creation date
Sign-in
- We send a 6-digit one-time code to your email. We do not set a password for this sign-in flow.
- After you enter the code, we store session tokens so you stay signed in on that device.
Listings (landlords)
- Title, description, type (partition, bedspace, studio, apartment), status, amenities
- Price and stay period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Occupancy limits
- Address and area as text you type (building, street, neighbourhood, country) — not GPS from your phone
- Photo URLs you attach to the listing
- Optional gender preference for the listing (for example male, female, or any)
Bookings and messages in the product
- Guest and landlord IDs, property, check-in and check-out dates, price, period, and status
- Optional notes you add on a stay request
- Reviews (rating and comment) if you post them
- In-app notification title, body, and read state
- Listings you save
Device and app data
- Session and auth tokens stored on the device (via on-device storage) so you remain signed in.
- A local onboarding flag so we do not show intro screens every time.
- Basic technical information our hosting and auth provider may log to operate the service (for example IP address, time of request, and that a sign-in was attempted). We use this for security and abuse prevention, not for ads.
Website
rentmin.com is a static marketing site. It does not require an account. Pages may load fonts from Google Fonts, which can receive your IP address and browser details as part of delivering the font files.
Data we do not collect today
The current Rentmin Android app does not request or collect the following. If we add any of these later, we will update this policy and the Play Data safety form before we start collecting them.
- Precise or approximate device location (GPS / location permission)
- Contacts, call logs, SMS, calendar, or files unrelated to what you upload for a listing or profile
- Microphone, camera, or photo-library access (listing photos today are URLs you provide, not a live camera capture in-app)
- Advertising ID, ad tracking, or third-party advertising SDKs
- Payment card numbers, bank details, or in-app checkout. You pay the landlord at the property unless we add payments later and tell you
- Health, fitness, or financial account data
- Independent analytics or crash-reporting SDKs beyond what the operating system and our backend already provide to keep the app running
How we use data
- Provide the service: create accounts, show listings, process stay requests, show booking status, send in-app notifications.
- Sign you in: email codes and session tokens.
- Communicate: send sign-in codes and similar transactional mail from notify.rentmin.com.
- Safety and integrity: detect fake accounts, spam, fraud, and abuse; support staff tools.
- Improve Rentmin: understand what is broken or unused so we can fix the product. We do not sell this information.
- Legal: comply with applicable law or respond to a valid legal request.
We do not use your personal data to show third-party ads. We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with data brokers.
Who we share with
We share information only as needed to run Rentmin or as the law requires.
- Other users, as needed for a booking or listing. Landlords see a guest’s name (and related request details) on stay requests. Guests see listing details and the landlord’s public listing name. Reviews you post are visible to other users.
- Supabase hosts authentication, the database, and related backend services for the app. Session data is processed there so you can sign in.
- Resend sends sign-in codes and similar mail from notify@notify.rentmin.com (domain notify.rentmin.com).
- Google Fonts (website only) may process IP and browser data to serve fonts on rentmin.com.
- Authorities or others when required by law, or to protect users from fraud, harm, or a serious security incident.
Service providers process data on our instructions to provide hosting, email, and related infrastructure. They are not allowed to use it for their own advertising.
How we store and protect data
- The app talks to our backend over encrypted connections (HTTPS / TLS).
- Account and listing data is stored in our hosted database with access controls (including row-level rules so users generally only see what they should).
- Session tokens live on your device. Anyone with the unlocked phone can use a signed-in session. Sign out if you share a device.
- Email codes expire and are meant for one-time use. Do not share a code.
- No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We work to protect data, but we cannot guarantee absolute security.
How long we keep it
- Account and profile: while the account is open, then for a reasonable period after closure so we can handle disputes, abuse, and legal duties.
- Bookings, reviews, and listing history: while needed to show stay history and resolve disputes, then as required by law.
- Device session tokens: until you sign out, they expire, or you delete the app data.
- Email delivery logs: as long as our email provider retains them for delivery and abuse prevention.
Your choices and rights
- Edit profile: in the app you can change your name and phone.
- Saved listings: you can unsave them in the app.
- Sign out: removes the active session on that device.
- Access or a copy: email us and we will provide a copy of the personal data we hold about you, subject to verifying the account.
- Correction: ask us to fix inaccurate account data we cannot change in-app.
- Deletion: email us from the account address and ask us to delete the account. We will delete or de-identify personal data unless we must keep a limited record (for example a completed booking or a legal hold). Listings and reviews tied to you may be removed or anonymised.
- Object or restrict: tell us if you want us to stop a particular use that is not required to provide the service.
We aim to respond within 30 days. If a request is complex, we will say so.
Children
Rentmin is for adults arranging accommodation. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children (including anyone under 13, and we do not target anyone under 18). If you believe a child has an account, email us and we will delete it.
International processing
Rentmin is available worldwide. Your information may be processed in the country where you live and in countries where our hosting and email providers operate. Those places may have different data-protection laws. We use providers that apply contractual and technical safeguards appropriate to this kind of service.
Google Play Data safety
On Google Play we also complete the Data safety form. That form must match this policy. In short, for the current app:
- We collect personal info (name, email, phone, user ID) to run the account.
- We collect app activity related to listings, bookings, saved places, and in-app notifications.
- We store session identifiers on the device.
- Data is used for app functionality, account management, and security — not for advertising.
- Data may be shared with other users as part of a listing or booking, and with infrastructure providers (hosting and email).
- You can request deletion as described above.
Changes
We will post updates on this page and change the date at the top. If a change is material, we will try to give extra notice in the app or by email when we can. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
