Privacy Policy

Samuga Pothunala Iyakkam (TNSPI) respects the privacy of people who visit this website, contact the organization, apply to join or volunteer, or submit information about a public issue. This policy explains, in general terms, what information may be collected through the website and how it may be used and protected.

Information we may collect

Depending on the service you use, information may include your name, mobile number, email address, district, taluk, locality, pincode, membership or volunteering details, the information contained in a public-issue report, and files or photographs you choose to submit. The website may also record limited technical information such as IP address, browser or device user-agent, date and time of submission, language and security-related request information where these features are enabled.

Why we use information

Information may be used to respond to enquiries, review and follow up public issues, contact prospective members or volunteers, maintain organizational records, prevent spam or abuse, protect the website and its users, document consent or declarations, and support legitimate public-interest representations or follow-up activities undertaken by Samuga Pothunala Iyakkam (TNSPI).

Public-issue submissions

If you report a public issue, please provide information that you reasonably believe to be true and relevant. Do not submit passwords, banking credentials, unnecessary government identification numbers, or unrelated sensitive personal information. Information may be reviewed by authorized Samuga Pothunala Iyakkam (TNSPI) personnel and, where reasonably necessary for legitimate follow-up, may be referred to an appropriate authority, institution, professional adviser or service provider. Samuga Pothunala Iyakkam (TNSPI) does not promise that every submission will result in action or a particular outcome.

Cookies, security and anti-abuse measures

The website may use essential cookies or similar technologies required for normal operation, language selection, security, forms and administrative sessions. Security tools, hosting services, CAPTCHA or anti-bot services, analytics or email-delivery services may process limited technical information when enabled by the site administrator. Samuga Pothunala Iyakkam (TNSPI) seeks to use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Sharing and disclosure

Samuga Pothunala Iyakkam (TNSPI) does not intend to sell personal information. Access should be limited to people who need the information for legitimate organizational work. Information may be disclosed when required by applicable law, lawful process, protection of rights or safety, investigation of misuse, or legitimate follow-up of a matter submitted to the organization.

Retention

Records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which they were collected, organizational accountability, follow-up, security, dispute handling or legal requirements. Retention periods may differ depending on the type and sensitivity of the record.

You may contact Samuga Pothunala Iyakkam (TNSPI) to ask about information you submitted through this website or to request a reasonable correction or deletion where appropriate and legally permissible. Samuga Pothunala Iyakkam (TNSPI) may need to verify the request before acting on it.

Children and external links

This website is intended for general public information and organizational participation. Children should use submission features with appropriate parent or guardian guidance where required. Links to external websites are governed by the privacy practices of those external services.
