JanPath — Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

JanPath is a village community app — notices, a calendar, events, an emergency alert system, and a directory, shared among the members of a village. This policy explains what data the app collects and why.

What we collect

• Phone number. Used to sign you in via a one-time password (OTP) sent by SMS, and to identify you to other members of your village.
• Name, role, and village. Shown to other members of your village so they know who posted a notice, organized an event, or is responding to an SOS alert.
• Photos you choose to upload. Shared with your village as part of an event's photo memories.
• Content you post — notices, events, contributions/expenses records, SOS alerts, directory listings, blood-donor opt-in (blood group) — is visible to members of your village, since that's the app's core purpose.

What we don't do

JanPath does not access your device's GPS or precise location — a village's location is a fixed point set by its operator, not tracked per user. We don't run ad tracking or sell your data to third parties. SOS alerts go only to members of your village, not to 108/100 emergency services.

Payments

JanPath never holds or processes money itself. Cash contributions are recorded by a collector as a receipt. "Pay via UPI" opens your own UPI app with the amount pre-filled — the payment happens directly between you and the recipient's UPI ID, not through JanPath's servers.

SMS delivery

OTP codes are sent via a third-party SMS provider (Fast2SMS) for the sole purpose of delivering your login code.
