Privacy & Safety
Adda Alert is an anonymous civic reporting platform. Please read these guidelines before submitting.
What we collect
We collect only what is needed for civic reporting and authority escalation: the category of the activity, an optional photo, an optional GPS location, an optional landmark, district/city, optional free-text notes, and the submission timestamp.
We do not ask for your name, phone number, email, address, IP, account, or any identifier by default.
How your data is used
Reports are reviewed by trained moderators. After review, they may be escalated to relevant authorities (e.g. Gujarat State Monitoring Cell, narcotics control).
Photos, exact GPS coordinates, and notes are never shown publicly. Public trends only show district-level counts, after moderation, and only after a 24-hour delay.
Safety rules — please read
- Do not confront anyone, ever.
- Do not trespass on private property.
- Do not put yourself or others at risk to take a photo.
- Do not name any individual, shop, household, or vehicle.
- If you are in immediate danger, call 100 for police.
Important disclaimer
All submissions are unverified citizen alerts until reviewed. A submission does not constitute legal proof of any wrongdoing. Misuse of this platform to make false or malicious reports is itself an offence.
