App Description and Data Collection Justification

Agarwal Samaj Telangana is a registered NGO community platform created to support, connect, and encourage business professionals within the Agarwal community. The organization operates through more than 120 local branches ("Shakas"), each serving members in specific geographic regions.

To ensure proper functioning of the app and to provide community-specific services, certain user information is required during registration. This information is essential for core app functionality and is not collected unnecessarily.

Mandatory Information Collected

  • Home Address and Pincode – Required to verify that the user belongs to the Agarwal community service area and to identify their geographic location. This allows us to assign the user to the correct local Shaka (branch) and provide region-specific services, announcements, and benefits.
  • Shaka (Branch) Selection – Our organization operates through 120+ Shakas (local branches). Users must select their Shaka based on their address and pincode so they can be properly assigned to their local branch. This assignment is essential to provide community benefits, local event participation, and branch-specific services.
  • Occupation – Required to categorize members as business owners, professionals, or employees. This categorization enables us to provide relevant networking opportunities, business support programs, and community initiatives specific to each member category.
  • Email Address – Required for secure account management, including account recovery, authentication, and prevention of duplicate account registrations. Email ensures account security and helps maintain data integrity within the community platform.

Why This Information is Mandatory

Our app is exclusively designed for verified members of the Agarwal community and operates through a structured branch (Shaka) system. Without this information, we cannot:

  • Assign users to their appropriate community branch
  • Provide branch-specific benefits and services
  • Categorize users for relevant programs
  • Ensure secure account management
  • Prevent duplicate or unauthorized registrations

All fields are required to verify your community membership, assign your local Shaka (branch), and enable community services and account security.

Data Usage Commitment

This information is used only for community operations and is not shared with third parties.
