We at Vrajdwar are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit our website or use the Vrajdwar Mobile Application (collectively referred to as the “Services”).

By accessing or using our Services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy in accordance with applicable laws in India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and rules framed thereunder.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information to provide and improve our Services:

a) Personal Identifiable Information (PII)

  • Control Mechanisms: This data is accessed only with your explicit, permission-based consent via your device operating system or browser settings. We do not track your location in the background when the app is closed, nor do we store your historical location data permanently. You can revoke location permissions at any time through your device settings.

c) Device & Log Information

  • Data Types: IP address, browser type, device operating system, referral URLs, unique device identifiers, and timestamps.
  • Collection Method: Collected automatically through standard web analytics tools to monitor app performance, fix crashes, and optimize layout responsiveness.

2. Purpose of Data Collection

We use the collected information for the following specific purposes:

  • Providing Core Features: Utilizing location data to deliver region-specific interactive maps and geographically relevant content.
  • Enhancing User Experience: Analyzing aggregate user behavior to create a smoother, faster, and more intuitive app interface.
  • System Sustainability & Safety: Supporting ongoing platform research, software updates, bug fixing, and ensuring security monitoring.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We only share information under the following limited circumstances:

  • Legal Compliance: When required by law, valid legal process, or law enforcement authorities.
  • Service Providers: With trusted infrastructure providers (such as hosting companies and analytics platforms) who assist in running our Services under strict confidentiality agreements.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, tokens, and similar web storage technologies to:

  • Save your preferences and local app states.
  • Enable security authentication features.
  • Understand aggregate user traffic pattern flows via Google Analytics.

You can disable cookies or clear local storage through your browser or system app settings, though some app functionalities may cease to function correctly.

5. Third-Party Advertising and Analytics

To support long-term sustainability, our Services may display advertisements served by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdMob) in the future. These third-party vendors may use device identifiers, cookies, or anonymous logs to serve ads based on your visits to our platform or other sites across the internet.

These third parties operate under their own respective privacy policies. You can manage, limit, or opt-out of personalized advertising at any time through your Android device system settings (Settings > Google > Ads).

6. Data Retention

Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with applicable legal obligations. Location data used for map-based features is processed in real-time or cached temporarily on your device and is not permanently stored on our central servers.

7. Your Rights (As per Indian Law)

You hold comprehensive rights regarding your data under Indian data protection laws, including:

  • The right to access the personal data we store about you.
  • The right to request the rectification or correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • The right to withdraw your consent at any time (e.g., turning off location permissions).

8. Data Deletion and Account Removal

If you have created an account within our Services, you have the right to request the permanent deletion of your account and all associated personal data at any time.

Upon receiving a valid request, we will delete your identifiable data from our active databases, except where retention is strictly mandated by legal or regulatory frameworks.

  • To submit an automated account and data deletion request, please visit our dedicated deletion portal: https://vrajdwar.org/account-deletion/  
  • Alternatively, you can request manual deletion by emailing our team directly at the address listed in the “Contact Us” section below.

We implement reasonable, industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information, including:

  • Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS) encryption for all data transmissions.
  • Strict role-based access controls on databases.
  • Periodic security and vulnerability assessments.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no transmission over the internet or mobile network is 100% secure.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our Services do not knowingly collect or solicit personal identifiable data from children under the age of 18 without explicit parental or guardian consent. If we discover that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information without verification, we will purge that data from our servers immediately.

11. Third-Party Links

Our Services contain links to external web architectures or media assets. We do not control and are not responsible for the independent privacy frameworks, content, or data collection mechanisms deployed by those external third parties.

12. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at our operating offices and hosted on secure servers. This means your data may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state or national jurisdiction where data protection laws may differ. Your consent to this Privacy Policy represents your agreement to these necessary operational transfers.

13. Third-Party Social Media Logins

Our Services allow you the option to create an account or authenticate your identity using third-party single sign-on services:

  • Google
  • Facebook

If you choose to register via these services, we receive specific profile attributes already associated with that third-party account (such as your verified name and email address) to set up your account profile instantly.
