Privacy Policy
What we collect when you book a puja, where it lives, who can see it, and how to ask us to delete it.
Last updated: 29 September 2026
1. What we collect
Only what a booking needs:
- Your name and gotra, so the sankalp is taken correctly.
- Your phone number, which we use on WhatsApp to confirm and coordinate.
- Your address for a home puja, and optionally a map location to help the pandit find you.
- The intention (sankalp) text you write for the puja.
- Booking details: the puja, the mode, the muhurat, the pandit and samagri chosen, and the price.
- If you choose to sign in, a basic sign-in identity (name and phone or email).
2. Why we use it
- To confirm your booking and the muhurat with you on WhatsApp.
- To brief the pandit assigned to your puja.
- To arrange samagri and, for a home puja, the pandit’s travel.
- To collect payment through a payment link or UPI after confirmation.
- To keep the accounting records Indian law requires.
We do not use your details for advertising and we never sell them.
3. Where it is stored
- Bookings are stored in a Postgres database hosted by Neon, on AWS in the Singapore region.
- The booking service (our API) runs on Render, also in Singapore.
- The website is served by Vercel.
- When a booking arrives, and when a family cancels or moves it or its pandit hands it back, a notification email goes to our operations team through Resend.
- The team may copy bookings into a Google Sheet to run day-to-day operations.
- We message you on WhatsApp, so your booking conversation also lives in WhatsApp.
6. How long we keep it
We keep booking records for as long as Indian accounting and tax law requires. Details that are not needed for those records, such as the intention text and map location, can be deleted earlier on request.
7. Your choices
You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Message us on WhatsApp and we will honour the request, keeping only what the law requires us to retain. We are not certified under any privacy framework; we simply act on these requests.
8. Keeping it safe
The operations panel that shows bookings is password-protected and only the team can open it. Each pandit sees only their own assigned jobs. Connections to the website and the booking service use HTTPS.
9. Changes to this policy
If we add a service provider or change how we handle data, we will update this page and the date at the top.
