This Privacy Policy explains how HinduPage handles information used for business listings, account security, payments, support, fraud prevention and service analytics.
Information we collect
Depending on how you use HinduPage, we may collect an account holder's name, verified mobile number, optional email address, password hash, business details, location, one uploaded business image, payment and invoice references, referral information, support messages, security records and usage information. Payment-card or UPI credentials are handled by the payment provider and are not stored by HinduPage.
Voluntary ownership declaration
When an owner voluntarily declares that a business is Hindu-owned, that declaration is used for the directory purpose presented during registration. HinduPage does not infer a person's religion from a name, image, caste, language or location.
Why information is used
Information may be used to create and secure accounts, verify mobile numbers and optional email addresses, review and publish listings, provide search/contact features, process payments and refunds, issue invoices, prevent abuse, respond to support requests, send important account notices, maintain records and understand platform performance.
Public information
Approved business listing information is intentionally public. Account credentials, password hashes, private integration secrets and non-public administrative information are not shown on public listings.
Service providers
Limited information may be processed by service providers that support hosting, OTP delivery, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, security and similar operations. HinduPage does not sell personal data to advertisers.
Your choices, correction and deletion
Owners can correct account and business information through the dashboard, submit reviewed changes to a live listing, close a business, change a verified mobile number, and add, change or remove an optional email address. Where applicable under Indian data-protection law, a person may also request access, correction or erasure of personal data and raise a grievance. Account-deletion requests can be submitted from the Profile section or sent to support@hindupage.com. Some payment, invoice, fraud-prevention, security or other records may be retained where reasonably necessary or required by law.
Consent and notices
Where HinduPage relies on consent, requests are intended to be clear and limited to data needed for the stated purpose. The owner declaration used for HinduPage directory eligibility is voluntary and separate from account credentials. Optional analytics or advertising technologies are controlled through the website's consent settings where enabled.
Security
We use safeguards including password hashing, access controls, secure sessions, encrypted integration secrets, upload restrictions, rate limiting and administrative audit records. Service providers are given only the information needed for their function. No internet service can promise absolute security.
Grievances and privacy contact
Privacy questions, correction/erasure requests and grievances may be sent to support@hindupage.com. HinduPage will use the business contact details published on the Contact page for privacy communications and will update this policy as applicable Indian data-protection requirements become operational or change.
