Privacy Policy

SJConnect (“the App”) is a community app for members of Pune Sakal Sangh and affiliated Jain sanghs. It is developed and operated by Brovitech Solutions LLP (“we”, “us”).

This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using SJConnect you agree to this policy.

1. Who this applies to

This policy applies to people who create an account in SJConnect (Android or iOS) and to visitors of our related websites that link to this page.

2. Information we collect

We collect only what is needed to run the community directory and related features:

• Mobile number — used to send a one-time password (OTP) and to identify your account. We currently support Indian (+91) numbers.
• Profile details you provide — full name, date of birth, pincode, education, and Sangh affiliation. You may also add occupation, city, address, email, gender, blood group, gotra, and a profile photo if those fields are available in your version of the App.
• Account and device data — login tokens, account status (pending, active, rejected, or deleted), language preference, and a push-notification token (FCM) for your device.
• OTP and security logs — records of OTP send/verify attempts to prevent abuse.
• Support messages — if you email, call, or WhatsApp us, we keep what you send so we can help you.

Directory listings (members, hostels, colleges, hospitals, doctors, halls, and similar) are community or Sangh-managed content. Other members’ contact details are shown only as published in the App and are not your personal data about you.

We do not collect precise GPS location, contacts, calendar, or microphone data. We do not sell personal information. We do not use advertising trackers in the App.

3. How we use information

• Create and verify your account via SMS OTP.
• Show your profile in the community directory after Sangh admin approval, so members can find and support one another.
• Send service notifications (approvals, news, documents, and Sangh updates) if you allow push notifications.
• Operate matrimony / “Find Groom or Bride” introductions through the Sangh office where that feature is offered. Introductions are handled with care; we do not publish a public matchmaking feed of profiles in the App unless you and the Sangh enable that separately.
• Prevent fraud, enforce terms, and comply with law.

Your mobile number is not shown to other members without a reason that is part of the directory or support flow. Do not share OTP codes with anyone.

4. Legal basis (India)

We process personal data to provide the App you requested, with your consent (OTP, terms acceptance, optional notifications), and for legitimate community operations of the Sangh. Where India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 applies, Brovitech Solutions LLP acts as the data fiduciary for App accounts.

5. Who we share data with

We share data only as needed to run the App:

• Sangh administrators — to review registrations, moderate directory content, and help members.
• Firebase / Google Cloud — authentication, hosting, database, and push notifications. Servers for this project are in asia-south1 (Mumbai, India).
• MSG91 — to deliver OTP SMS (and WhatsApp messages if that channel is enabled).
• Law enforcement or courts — only if legally required.

We do not sell your data to advertisers or data brokers.

6. How long we keep data

We keep your account while it is active. If you delete your account, we mark the profile deleted and stop showing it in the directory. We aim to complete deletion of account data within 30 days. Limited records (for example OTP abuse logs or legally required backups) may be retained for a short period, then removed or anonymised.

7. Your rights

• Access and correct your profile in the App (Profile).
• Turn off push notifications in device settings or in-app notification settings.
• Delete your account in the App: Profile → Delete Account.
• Request deletion from the web: see our Account deletion page, or email us (details below).

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in section 9.

8. Children

SJConnect is intended for community members who can create an account with a mobile number. It is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has registered, contact us and we will delete the account.
