Kongu Naattu Gounder Community — Privacy Policy

In short

This is a free, private directory for relatives of the Kongu Naattu Gounder community. You choose to register. Your name, village, district and kulam are listed for other members after an admin approves you. Your mobile number and address are shown only to an approved member who opens your profile. There are no advertisements, no analytics or tracking tools, and no cookies. We do not sell or share your details with anyone outside the directory, and you can edit or delete your registration yourself at any time.

The admin approves registrations by checking the details you give and, if needed, contacting you. This is not a verification of identity: do not treat the directory as proof that someone is who they say they are.

1. What we collect

• Required: your name, mobile number, a password (stored only as a one-way hash, never in readable form), state, district (or the name you type if it is not listed), village or town, street / door number, kulam and sub-category (or "Other / not sure"), and your confirmations that you are 18 or older and agree to this use of your details.
• Optional: an email address, and an exact map location. A location is saved only if you press the button to add it, and it is hidden from others unless you switch sharing on. Your browser asks for your permission before it gives the site your location.
• Technical: a login token (kept as a hash on the server, valid for 180 days of use) and, to stop abuse, short-lived counters of attempts per mobile number and per network address (the address is stored only in scrambled form and is removed after at most a day).
• Reports: if you report a profile, we keep your reason and which member sent it, for the admin to review.

2. Who can see what

• Approved members see, in the list: name, village, district, kulam and sub-category.
• An approved member who opens your profile also sees your mobile number and address (and your map location if you chose to show it). Each member can open a limited number of profiles per hour.
• Admins (the main admin and any co-admins the main admin appoints) see everything you entered, including your email and whether it is confirmed, and can approve, hide or delete registrations, handle reports and give a one-time password code.
• People who are not approved members, and search engines, cannot see the directory. The site asks search engines not to index it.
• Please remember: any approved member can copy what they see. Register only if you are comfortable with that. Do not use other members' details for anything other than contacting them in good faith, and never to advertise, harass or sell.

3. Why we use it

Only to run the directory: letting approved relatives find and contact each other, letting you log in, letting the admin approve and manage registrations, flagging possible duplicates (for example, the same address registered twice), and handling reports. We do not use your details for marketing, profiling or any automated decision.

4. Where it is kept

Details are stored in a database and served by Cloudflare (Workers and D1), which handles standard technical information needed to deliver a page, such as your IP address, as infrastructure. Cloudflare may keep database backups for a short period it sets. The site fonts and images are served from the site itself; no third-party scripts, fonts or trackers are loaded.

5. On your phone

The site stores two things in your browser's own storage (not cookies): your login token and your language choice (Tamil or English). Logging out removes the token. If you add the site to your home screen, the browser may also keep a copy of the site's pages and images (not your personal details) so it opens faster and shows a basic page when offline.

6. Email and password reset

An email address is optional and is used only to confirm that address and to send a password reset link if you forget your password. Email sending is not switched on yet; until it is, a forgotten password is reset by the admin, who gives you a one-time code (valid for 24 hours) over WhatsApp after checking it is you. If you contact the admin on WhatsApp, WhatsApp's own privacy policy applies to that chat.

7. Your choices and deleting your data

• You can edit your details, hide or show your exact location, change your password, mobile number or email, or delete your registration from the "My account" page. Deleting removes your record, your login sessions and any codes at once. A report you made about someone else stays for the admin but is no longer linked to you.
• You can also ask the admin on WhatsApp, or write to the address below, to correct or delete your details.
• The admin may hide or remove a registration that is fake, duplicated, or misused.

8. Keeping it safe

Passwords are stored as salted hashes; the site uses HTTPS; lists never show phone numbers; there is a limit on wrong-password attempts, registrations and profile views; and every admin action is checked on the server each time. No system is perfectly safe, and the main risk is the one in section 2: approved members can see and copy details. Tell us right away if you think your account is misused.

9. Children

The directory is for adults. You must be 18 or older to register. If you believe a person under 18 is registered, tell us and we will remove the registration.

10. Changes to this policy

If we change what we collect or how it is shown, we will update this page and its date, and ask you to agree again where the change needs it. Other ZevoraTech products have their own policies.

11. Contact

Questions or requests about your details: [email protected] · Contact page, or message the admin on WhatsApp from the directory's home page.
