Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Vidur Prerna. We are dedicated to supporting Self-Help Groups (SHGs) by providing a digital platform for management and registration.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information, with a focus on data collected during the user registration process.

2. Information Collection and Use

A. Location Information (Sensitive Permission)

To ensure the integrity of SHG registration and verify that members register within their designated operational areas, Vidur Prerna requests access to your device's Location.

• Usage: We collect your location data only once during the registration/sign-up process.
• Purpose: To verify the geographical area of the SHG and prevent fraudulent registrations.

B. User-Provided Information

During registration, we may also collect:

• Personal Details: Name, Mobile Number, and SHG Group Name.
• Group Data: Any group-related information you manually enter for record-keeping.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We respect your privacy. Your data is:

• Not Shared for Marketing: We do not sell or share your personal or location data with third-party advertisers.
• Regulatory Reporting: Data may be shared with authorized SHG federations or government rural livelihood missions (e.g., NRLM) solely for official record-keeping and scheme benefits.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law to comply with legal processes.

4. Data Security

We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/HTTPS) to ensure that your location and personal details are transmitted securely to our servers. We implement strict access controls to prevent unauthorized access to SHG records.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your registration data as long as your SHG remains active on our platform.

Users can request data deletion by contacting us at the email address provided below.

6. Your Choices

You can choose not to provide location permission. However, since location verification is required for authenticating SHG members in our system, the registration process may not be completed without it.
