Devadigas UAE is a community organization created to bring together and support Devadiga families residing across the United Arab Emirates.

This policy applies to:

• The official Devadigas UAE Mobile App on iPhone (Apple App Store) and Android (Google Play Store).
• The official Devadigas UAE Website at https://devadigasuae.com/.
• All member profiles, family cards, and accounts managed through our community portal.

To register your family, view your digital membership cards, and update your information anytime, you first create a personal login account.

With this single login, you can easily add and manage profiles for yourself, your spouse, and your children all from one convenient place.

When you register a member in the app or on the website, we collect standard community details to issue your membership card:

• Your Name & Age Group: First Name, Surname, Gender, and Age Group (e.g. 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50+).
• Where You Live in the UAE: Your Emirate of residence (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, or Fujairah).
• Contact Details: Your UAE Mobile Number and optional Email Address so we can stay in touch regarding community events.
• Family Members: Spouse's name and names of your children, so your whole family is linked together on your records.
• Job & Profession: Whether you are employed or in business, your job title, and company name.
• Profile Photo (Optional): A picture of yourself to display on your digital membership card.
• Membership Number: A unique number (e.g., DUAE-XXXX) is automatically created for each member.

The Devadigas UAE mobile app only asks for permissions when you actively use a specific feature, like adding a profile photo:

You can view or update your family's information at any time directly from your phone or computer.

You have the full right to remove a family member's profile or completely close your account whenever you wish:

We take the privacy of families and young members very seriously:

• Parents Register Children: Children's details (such as names and age groups) are added only by their parents or legal guardians as part of the family profile. Children cannot create separate accounts on their own.
• Only for Community Events: Children's records are used purely for community gatherings, cultural festivals, and youth recognitions.
• No Tracking or Sharing: We never track children, never display ads, and never share family details with any commercial companies.

We only use the information you give us for genuine community and welfare purposes:

• To verify community membership and UAE residence.
• To create your personalized digital membership card.
• To organize community gatherings, sports tournaments, cultural celebrations, and blood donation drives.
• To give you secure access to view and update your details on your phone.
• To provide community support and assistance when members are in need.

Only authorized Devadigas UAE committee members who help manage membership records have access to your details, and they are committed to keeping them private.

Your information will only ever be shared with authorities if required by the official laws of the United Arab Emirates.

We use standard security measures to keep your data safe:

• Secure Connection: All information sent between your phone or web browser and our server is secured with high-grade encryption (HTTPS).
• Safe Passwords: Passwords are encrypted so that no one, not even our team, can read them.
• Protected Photos: Uploaded profile pictures are stored securely in a private server folder.
• Careful Retention: Your information is kept while your membership is active. When you delete a profile, it is removed immediately; and if you request full account deletion, everything is permanently removed within 30 days.

As a member of our community, you always have full control over your data:

• Right to See Your Data: You can view all your family's records anytime in the "My Profiles" section.
• Right to Correct: You can change and update any outdated details whenever you wish.
• Right to Delete: You can delete any member profile or ask to completely erase your account.
• Right to Change Permissions: You can turn off Camera or Photo permissions anytime through your phone settings.
• Right to Ask: You can contact our committee anytime to ask questions about your membership records.
