LeadersHub ("LeadersHub", "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when using our website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.

By using LeadersHub, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use LeadersHub, we may collect the following categories of information.

1.2 Profile and Constituency Information

When completing your LeadersHub profile, you may provide information such as:

• State

Where you voluntarily submit an Aadhaar document:

• We use it for the stated identity-verification purpose.
• The submitted document may be securely uploaded to our servers or authorized storage providers.
• Access to verification information is restricted to authorized systems and personnel who require it for legitimate operational purposes.
• We do not use Aadhaar information for advertising or unrelated commercial profiling.

When you submit:

• Ratings
