Community guidelines & privacy

These guidelines help keep HomeMade Bazaar welcoming, useful and trustworthy for buyers and sellers.

Respectful, accurate listings

Use honest descriptions, current availability and your own photographs or images you have permission to use. Do not upload counterfeit, illegal, unsafe or misleading products or services. Sellers are responsible for complying with laws and licences that apply to their work.

Publish only products and services you can provide. Do not post misleading prices, fake reviews or another person’s payment details. Sellers are responsible for meeting requirements applicable to their business and products.

One-time approval and self-management

A seller’s store is approved once by the administrator. After approval, the seller may add, edit, pause and remove ordinary listings independently. Contact, phone, UPI and payment changes may require a quick security re-check. Unsafe or misleading listings can be paused or removed after a report.

Orders, payments and refunds

A request is not a confirmed order. Agree price, specifications, timing, delivery and cancellation terms with the seller. Payments go directly to the seller. HomeMade Bazaar does not hold product payments or guarantee fulfilment.

Your information

Your mobile number is sent to MSG91 to deliver and verify your sign-in code. We store the verified number to identify your account and use a secure sign-in cookie lasting up to seven days. Signing out ends the current session. We do not store OTP codes. Store contact numbers can be edited separately; changing a public contact number does not change the number used to sign in.

Sign-in identifies your account. Store details, contact numbers and approved photographs are displayed to marketplace visitors. Enquiries, reports and support messages are accessible to the relevant seller and administrator. Do not put your exact home address or personal information in public listing text unless you intend it to be public.

We count public-page views and approximate visits using a random session identifier that expires after 30 minutes of inactivity. We do not store IP addresses or names with these counts. Older visit records are cleared as new visits are recorded, keeping a 90-day reporting history visible only to the administrator. Browser privacy settings or blockers may prevent counting.

Store data and uploaded images are kept to operate the marketplace. Contact support to request correction or deletion. Browser preferences may be used for display settings; this site does not require advertising trackers to browse.

Contact

For support, correction or deletion requests, WhatsApp Savita at 8800907147. WhatsApp only. Support is unavailable from 9am to 6pm (India time). Leave a message for a later reply.
