Puja registration, Prasad registration and physical Prasad contribution forms do not require OTP verification.

When pass retrieval is requested, Firebase Authentication may process the mobile number, verification information and technical data needed to deliver and validate the OTP.

Registered Prasad recipients receive a digital QR-based pass.

• Each valid pass is linked to a registration.
• Authorized volunteers scan passes during distribution.
• Pass validation records may include redemption status and time.
• Each pass can be successfully redeemed only once.
• Previously redeemed passes cannot be reused.

Pass details are made available through authorized registration or verified retrieval sessions.

Financial contributions are voluntary. Regular Prasad registration is free.

If you choose to contribute, we may collect:

• Donation amount.
• Associated registration reference.
• UPI transaction ID or UTR submitted by you.
• Manual payment verification status.
• Payment review and approval records.

Payments are initiated through external UPI applications. Jan Sahyog Sangathan does not request your UPI PIN or banking password.

Special Prasad eligibility is determined only after the required contribution amount has been verified by authorized administrators.

Registration and event information is accessible only to authorized administrators, employees and volunteers according to their responsibilities.

Limited information may be processed by essential technology providers, including hosting and OTP verification services.

We do not sell personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect registration and payment-related information.

• Role-based administrative access.
• Session and request validation.
• Restricted access to sensitive records.
• QR pass validation and redemption controls.
• Administrative activity records.

No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sharing sensitive banking credentials or OTPs with anyone.

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for event administration, Prasad distribution, payment reconciliation, record-keeping and applicable legal obligations.

Information that is no longer required may be deleted or anonymized in accordance with the organization's retention practices.

You may contact the organizers to request:

• Access to information associated with your registration.
• Correction of inaccurate registration details.
• Deletion of eligible personal information.
• Clarification about how your information is used.

Requests may require identity verification. Certain records may need to be retained for legitimate operational or legal purposes.

The website may use essential cookies or session identifiers to maintain secure sessions, protect forms and support registration workflows.

Third-party verification services may use additional technical information as described in their respective privacy policies.

Registration may be completed on behalf of a family. The registering person should provide accurate information and have appropriate authority to submit the relevant family details.

We request only the family information necessary for event planning and Prasad distribution.

This Privacy Policy may be updated when our event procedures, technology services or legal obligations change.
