Privacy Notice
Effective 8 October 2026 · Version 1
This notice explains what information the service collects, why, and what you can do about it. The service is provided by Duncan Singh Sachdeva ("I", "me"). It is seva: nothing is sold, and there is no advertising.
What I collect, and why
| What | From | Why | Kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name, email, phone, Gurdwara, city, role, who gave permission, number of TVs, Wi-Fi network name, your message, and the internet address it was sent from | The request form | To reply and arrange a screen (the address: to stop spam) | Deleted 12 months after the request is finished or declined |
| Your name, email, topic and message, and the internet address it was sent from | The contact form | To answer you (the address: to stop spam) | Deleted 12 months after it was sent |
| That you accepted the Terms of Use (and for a Gurdwara, the Screen Agreement): your name, role, email, the date, the version of the Terms, and the internet address it was accepted from | The request form, the committee page, the Screen Agreement page | A record of the agreement | Requests and committee members: as long as their other information; Screen Agreements: 6 years after the Gurdwara's screens are removed |
| A committee member's email | The Gurdwara's president, secretary or treasurer, or a handover | To let them sign in to manage the screens | While they manage the screens |
| A sign-in cookie | The committee page | Keeps you signed in (7 days) | Until you sign out or it expires |
| What committee members change (announcements, the Gurdwara's name) and when | The committee page | A record for the Gurdwara and for me | 1 year |
| Screen and device information: what the screen is showing, its address on the internet and local network, computer name, browser, the device's hardware and software versions, its Wi-Fi network name | The screens and devices | To keep them working and fix problems | While the screen is in use; deleted 30 days after it is removed |
| A Wi-Fi password | You, when setting up a device's Wi-Fi | To connect the device | Deleted from my server as soon as the device confirms it; kept only on the device |
| Server logs (requests, errors, internet addresses) | Everyone using the site | Security and fixing problems | 90 days |
The Wi-Fi password is never asked for on the request form.
The server is backed up every night and each backup is kept 30 days, so something deleted can stay in a backup for up to 30 more days.
Who else handles it
Only these services, to run the site:
- Cloudflare: the site is served through Cloudflare, which protects it from attacks, provides the spam check on the form (Turnstile) and counts visits in aggregate (analytics).
- An email service: sends the sign-in and handover emails.
I don't sell or share your information with anyone else, except if the law requires it or to protect the service or someone's safety.
Cookies
The committee page uses one cookie, only to keep you signed in. It is needed for the page to work. There are no advertising or tracking cookies.
Security
Information is sent over encrypted connections. Sign-in codes and session cookies are stored only in a scrambled (hashed) form, and access to the administration is protected. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your information, I'll tell you as the law requires.
Your choices
You can ask for a copy of your information, for it to be corrected, or for it to be deleted, through the contact form. California residents have these rights under California law, and I extend them to everyone.
Children
The service is for Gurdwaras and their committees, not for children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this notice changes, the new version is posted here with a new effective date.
