Privacy Policy
Gurukul Directory is a free, non-profit app that helps alumni of Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul, Junagadh, find each other and do business together. This policy explains what the app collects, why, and how you can delete it.
The app is run by volunteers. Questions about this policy: hitesh.u@brilworks.com.
What we collect
- Account: your email address and name. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google.
- Registration: your Gurukul passing batch, profile photo, occupation, business or job details, phone numbers, website and social links, address (city, state, country), what you are looking for, and the optional bio sections you fill in. You can also upload your visiting card.
- Activity in the app: contact requests you send or receive, business you record as given or confirm as received, and your votes, event replies (Going / Maybe / Can't go) and reactions on announcements. We also note which announcements you have seen, so admins can see how many members a post reached.
- Error reports: when the app hits an error, technical details (the error message, the screen, device model and Android version) are sent to our error-reporting service. These reports do not include your email, form contents or IP address.
We do not collect your location, contacts, microphone, camera or advertising ID, and we do not show ads.
How it is used and who sees it
- Gurukul admins see your registration so they can approve it, and can see who replied to an event.
- Approved members see your directory profile once you are approved: name, photo, batch, business or job, city, contact details and the sections you filled in. Members can also see who is going to an event.
- Business you record is shown to the whole community only after the other member confirms it.
- Poll votes are anonymous: everyone, including admins, sees only the totals.
We never sell your data or share it for advertising.
Services we use
- Supabase: database, sign-in and photo storage (servers in Mumbai, India).
- Google: optional “Continue with Google” sign-in.
- Sentry: error reports (servers in the United States).
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS).
Keeping and deleting your data
We keep your data while you use the app. You can delete it at any time:
- In the app: My Profile → Delete my account. This immediately deletes your registration, photo, visiting card, contact requests, recorded business, votes, event replies and reactions.
- Without the app: see Delete your account.
Error reports are kept by Sentry for up to 90 days.
Your choices
You can edit your details from My Profile at any time, and choose whether you are open to networking. To ask what data we hold about you, email hitesh.u@brilworks.com.
Children
The app is for adult alumni and is not intended for anyone under 18.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date above and, for important changes, tell members through an announcement in the app.
