Privacy Policy
Last updated: 4 July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the SHARNAGATI mobile application ("the App", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your information. The App is operated by Krish Mehra ("the Operator"). By creating an account and using the App, you agree to the practices described here.
SHARNAGATI is a devotional community application for members of an ISKCON congregation. It provides spiritual content, community features, event and fasting reminders, classes, and related services.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
- Account details: your full name, spiritual (initiated) name, email address, phone number, gender, and date of birth.
- Spiritual and life dates: wedding anniversary, Harinam Diksha date, and Brahmana Diksha date, used to send celebratory greetings within the community.
- Content you submit: feedback, reflections, questions, wishes, notes, test answers, voice notes, and similar content you create in the App.
- Profile photo: an optional profile image you may upload.
Information collected automatically
- Push notification token: a device identifier used to deliver notifications to you.
- Usage information: basic information about how you use App features, such as which features you open and your test submissions and scores.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To create and manage your account and verify your membership.
- To provide App features such as spiritual content, community lists, event and fasting reminders, classes, and tests.
- To send you notifications you have enabled, such as class-live alerts, festival greetings, reminders, and account updates.
- To allow designated administrators to coordinate community activities and respond to your feedback and requests.
- To maintain the safety, security, and proper functioning of the App.
3. How Your Information Is Stored and Protected
Your data is stored using Supabase, a secure cloud database and storage provider, on our behalf. Access to data is controlled by security rules so that you can generally see only your own information, except where features are explicitly shared with the community (for example, member name lists or leaderboards that show names and scores).
Push notifications are delivered using Expo, a notification service provider. All data is encrypted in transit using industry-standard HTTPS. While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with advertisers. Your information is shared only:
- With our service providers (Supabase and Expo) strictly to operate the App.
- With designated administrators of the congregation, limited to what each administrator role is permitted to see for community coordination.
- Within community features that are visible to other members by design (such as member directories, celebration greetings, and test leaderboards that display names and scores).
- Where required by law or to protect the rights and safety of users.
5. Notifications
The App sends push notifications for events you have enabled. You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings. In-app notifications appear in your notification centre and are automatically removed after a period of time, except for important items such as confirmed one-to-one session bookings, which remain until the session has passed.
6. Your Rights and Choices
- You can view and edit your profile information within the App.
- You can delete individual content you have created (such as notes, reflections, and voice notes) within the App.
- You can disable notifications via your device settings.
- Account deletion: You can permanently delete your account and associated personal data at any time directly within the App, from the profile menu via "Delete Account". This permanently removes your account, profile, uploaded files, and personal content. You may also request account deletion by contacting us at the email below. We will act on such requests within a reasonable time, subject to any records we are required to retain by law.
7. Children and Families
The App is intended for the general congregation. If you are a minor, you should use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent may contact us to have it reviewed and removed.
8. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the App's services. When you delete your account or request account deletion, we remove your personal data except where retention is required by law.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you within the App.
