To facilitate secure and convenient access to our roommate matching platform, we offer login using a One-Time Password (OTP) sent to either a chosen email address or WhatsApp number. Users may select their preferred authentication channel during login or registration.
Information Collected
When logging in via OTP:
Email OTP: The email provided is used solely to send the OTP for authentication. It is not shared with third parties except for service providers facilitating the transmission and safeguarding of these communications.
WhatsApp OTP: When opting for OTP delivery through WhatsApp, the user's mobile number is processed via the WhatsApp Business API to deliver the OTP message. This is conducted securely, in accordance with Meta’s privacy and security standards.
WhatsApp Compliance
Consent: Users must explicitly opt in to receive OTP messages on WhatsApp by entering their mobile number and confirming their preference. All WhatsApp messages are transactional and strictly limited to authentication; no promotional or unsolicited messages are sent via WhatsApp.
Data Protection: All OTP transmissions to WhatsApp use secure, encrypted channels as required by Meta. The WhatsApp Business Platform adheres to global data protection standards (including GDPR) to protect user privacy and prevent unauthorized access.
Transparency: The platform is clearly identified in all communications via WhatsApp. Users can opt out of WhatsApp OTP delivery by choosing an alternative login method or removing their WhatsApp number from their profile.
Data Use and Security
OTPs are temporary, single-use codes and expire shortly after issuance, minimizing security risks. No OTPs are stored beyond what is necessary to complete the authentication process.
All communication, whether by email or WhatsApp, is protected using industry-standard encryption during transmission.
The platform does not use WhatsApp contact details for any purpose other than authentication, in line with Meta’s guidelines and applicable privacy regulations.
By using the OTP login feature, users acknowledge and consent to the collection, processing, and secure handling of their contact information for authentication as described above.
