Introduction
Chayanam Hrs ("we", "our", or "us") operates the Chayanam Hrs mobile application (the "App"), available on Android devices. This Privacy Policy describes how we approach the collection, use, and protection of information in connection with your use of our App.
Our App is a lightweight brand launcher designed to introduce you to our water purification services and direct you to our official website. By its nature, it collects no personal data of its own.
By downloading or using the App, you agree to the terms outlined in this Policy. If you disagree with any part of this Policy, please discontinue use of the App.
Information We Collect
The Chayanam Hrs App does not directly collect, store, or transmit any personal information. The App consists of a single branded screen and a button that opens our website — nothing more.
| Data Type | Collected by App | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name / Email / Phone | No | No input fields exist in the App |
| Device Identifiers | No | App does not access Device ID or IMEI |
| Location Data | No | No location permissions requested |
| Camera / Microphone | No | No such permissions declared |
| Usage Analytics | No | No analytics SDK is embedded |
| Crash Reports | Via Android OS | Handled by Google Play — see § 4 |
How the App Works
When you tap "Visit our Website", the App opens chayanamhrs.site using a Chrome Custom Tab — a secure browser session provided by the Google Chrome app already installed on your device.
The App does not intercept, log, or transmit any data exchanged between the Chrome Custom Tab and our website. The browser session is sandboxed by Android and Chrome.
Third-Party Services
While the App itself does not use analytics or advertising SDKs, the following third-party platforms are involved in its distribution and operation:
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Play Store | App distribution, crash reporting, install analytics | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Google Chrome | Custom Tab for in-app browsing | google.com/chrome/privacy |
| Android OS | Crash logs, ANR reports sent to Google | policies.google.com/privacy |
We encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy to understand what information Google may collect through Play Store and Chrome. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for third-party data practices.
App Permissions
The Chayanam Hrs App requests only the permissions essential for its core functionality. We follow the principle of minimal permission.
| Permission | Why Needed | Sensitive? |
|---|---|---|
| INTERNET | Required to open the website via Chrome Custom Tab | No |
Data Security
Since the App does not collect personal data, there is no user data stored by us to protect. Nevertheless, we take reasonable technical measures at every layer:
The App is signed with a private release key, ensuring the APK distributed through Google Play has not been tampered with. The Chrome Custom Tab uses HTTPS to communicate with our website, protecting data in transit.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect any information involved, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. In the unlikely event of a data incident affecting users, we will notify affected parties as required by applicable law.
Children's Privacy
This App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. Since the App collects no personal data from any user, this also applies to children.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has used this App in a way that raises privacy concerns, please contact us at the details below.
Your Rights Under Indian Law
This App is operated in compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, as applicable.
Because the App does not collect personal data, most data-subject rights (access, correction, deletion) are not applicable in the context of this App. However, if you have any concerns about information collected through our website chayanamhrs.site, please refer to the website's separate privacy policy.
We are committed to honouring any future obligations arising under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA) as it comes into full effect.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our App, legal requirements, or best practices. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy. Significant changes may also be communicated through an in-app notification or via the Google Play listing.
