Privacy Policy

Last updated: 06 September 2025

The Ambalpady Nayak Trust (R) mobile app (“we”, “our”, “the App”) helps associated devotees stay informed about temple activities, trustee details, posts, and festival/Sankranti notifications. The App does not provide user login or account creation.

1) Information We Collect

Push notification token (FCM): If you enable notifications, Firebase Cloud Messaging may issue a device token so we can send topic-based alerts. We do not use this to personally identify you.
Technical diagnostics: Non-identifying data such as app version, device/OS, and crash logs may be collected to keep the App reliable.
On-device cache: The App may store posts, images, and settings locally so you can view them offline. This data remains on your device.
No payment data: Donation account numbers are displayed for bank transfer; the App does not process payments or collect card/bank credentials.

2) How We Use Information

To display posts, announcements, and event schedules.
To send push notifications you opt into (e.g., festival/Sankranti alerts).
To maintain, secure, and improve the App (e.g., diagnose crashes, ensure compatibility).

3) Legal Basis & Your Choices

Consent: Notifications are sent only if you enable them; you can disable notifications anytime in the app or device settings.
Legitimate interests: Operating and improving a community information app.

4) Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell personal data.
Service providers: We use trusted services such as Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (for notifications) and web hosting for public pages (Privacy & Terms).
Legal: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights and safety.

5) Data Retention

The App does not maintain user accounts. On-device cached content remains until you clear the app’s data or uninstall. Any limited server logs are retained only as needed for security and operations.

6) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards (including HTTPS where supported). However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

7) Children’s Privacy

The App provides temple information for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe information was provided by a child, please contact us to remove it.

8) International Use

Our providers may operate globally. By using the App, you understand information may be processed outside your region under appropriate safeguards.

9) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be available at /ambalpady/privacy.html with the updated date.
