Last updated: 16 January 2026

Namokar Tirth (“we”, “our”, “us”) respects the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the Namokar Tirth mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

a) Personal Information

We may collect:

  • Name (optional)

  • Email address (for receipts and tickets)

  • Phone number (optional, if provided by the user)

b) Bluetooth & Proximity Information

The app uses Bluetooth-based proximity detection to identify nearby points of interest within the Namokar Tirth premises.

Bluetooth access is used only to:

  • Auto-play location-based spiritual stories and audio guides

  • Detect nearby statues, zones, or ritual areas

  • Enable room or area-specific features

📌 Important Notes:

  • We do not track users’ physical location or movement history

  • No GPS-based location tracking is performed for storytelling

  • Bluetooth data is processed locally and is not stored or shared

c) Location Permission (System Requirement)

On some Android devices, Bluetooth scanning requires location permission due to system-level restrictions.

📌 Even if location permission is requested:

  • We do not collect or store GPS coordinates

  • Location data is not used for tracking or analytics

  • Location access is required only to enable Bluetooth-based features

d) Voice & Audio Data

Microphone access is required for:

  • Wake word detection (“नमोस्तु भगवान”)

⚠️ Voice recordings are not stored permanently.
Voice input is processed in real time and discarded after response generation.

Donations and Boat Ticket payments are processed through secure third-party payment gateways (UPI, Card, Net Banking).

📌 We do not store card, UPI, or bank details on our servers.
