Privacy

FindGurdwara is made by Dasmer Singh. This policy covers the native FindGurdwara app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Updated October 29, 2026.

For the Android TV / Google TV app, see the Android TV privacy policy.

For Samsung and LG TVs, see the Samsung & LG TV privacy policy.

Your saved places

No account is required. Saved gurdwaras and your home selection stay in the app’s local preferences. They are not uploaded to a FindGurdwara account or server. You can remove saved places in the app. Deleting the app removes its local data, subject to your device’s backup settings.

Location and searches

Near me requests location only after you choose it and grant Apple’s location permission. The app uses that location on your device to sort the directory; it does not send your GPS coordinates to a FindGurdwara server.

When no location is selected, ipwho.is estimates an approximate city using your IP address. The provider receives your IP address and network request information and may retain service logs under its privacy policy. A ZIP search sends the ZIP code to Zippopotam.us. Name, city, and state searches filter the directory on your device. Location does not change your saved home gurdwara.

Network requests and broadcasts

The app includes directory data and paintings for offline browsing. Directory refresh requests use the FindGurdwara website hosted by GitHub Pages. The hosting provider receives standard connection information, including IP addresses, under GitHub’s privacy statement.

Broadcast providers receive your IP address and technical request information when you open their content. Providers may retain access and playback logs, use cookies in their players, and process information under their own policies. In-app providers include SikhNet for audio and IPCamLive for video. Their policies explain retention, analytics, cookies, and privacy choices. Broadcast content is not loaded until you open it.

Official websites, other watch links, directions, calls, and email open the service you choose. Those services operate under their own policies. FindGurdwara does not control third-party retention or account information.

Analytics and advertising

The native app includes no advertising or analytics SDK, does not request an advertising identifier, and does not upload your saved gurdwaras or home selection. Network and broadcast providers may process connection and usage data as described above. Apple may separately provide crash or app diagnostics according to your device’s sharing settings.

Choices and contact

You can browse the bundled directory offline, choose whether to open a broadcast, and manage location permission in your device’s Settings. For app support, privacy questions, or requests about information you have sent directly to us, email singh.dasmer@gmail.com. Third-party data requests can be directed to the relevant provider through its policy.
