1. What this app is
Tirumala Online Booking (package
com.ttdbooking.alerts) is an
independent, unofficial
pilgrim companion. It sends a notification when Tirumala Tirupati
Devasthanams (TTD) opens a booking quota — Rs. 300 special-entry
darshan, arjitha sevas, accommodation and similar — and explains each
booking category, temple timings, travel routes and official contacts.
2. Data we collect
2.1 Collected automatically
| Data | Why | Service |
|---|---|---|
| App install & crash logs | Diagnose crashes and fix them | Firebase Crashlytics |

| Device advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID) | Show relevant ads, frequency-cap, and prevent fraud | Google AdMob · UMP consent |
| Push notification token (FCM) & the alert topics you subscribe to | Deliver the booking-release alerts you opted into | Firebase Cloud Messaging |

2.2 Stored on your device only

3. Third-party services
| Service | Purpose | Their policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Cloud Messaging, Firestore, Remote Config) | Crash reporting, anonymous analytics, push notifications, alert content delivery | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| Google AdMob | In-app advertising — banner, native, interstitial, app-open | policies.google.com/technologies/ads |
| Google UMP (User Messaging Platform) | GDPR / DPDP consent for personalized ads | policies.google.com/privacy |
4. Advertising and consent
The app is free and supported by Google AdMob. AdMob may use a device advertising identifier to personalize ads and measure performance. On first launch in a region that requires consent (EU/EEA, UK, and under India's DPDP Act), the app shows the Google UMP consent dialog where you can accept, reject, or customize personalization. If you decline personalized ads, AdMob still shows non-personalized ads so the app can remain free.
5. Data retention
- Crashlytics: 90 days for crash reports (Firebase default).
- Analytics: 14 months (GA4 default). Anonymous; cannot be tied to you.
- FCM token: until you uninstall, clear app data, or unsubscribe from notifications.
- On-device preferences: until you uninstall or clear app data.
6. Children
The app's content rating is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The Google UMP consent flow includes a child-directed treatment mechanism which we honor.
7. Your choices
- Turn off notifications: in the app, Settings → Push Notifications → toggle any topic off; or disable them in your phone's system settings.
- Reset ad personalization: Device Settings → Google → Ads → Reset advertising ID.
- Change ad consent: in the app, Settings → “Manage ad preferences” (shown where consent applies), or reinstall to see the prompt again.
- Request deletion: email us (below) and we will action any data-deletion request.
8. Indian DPDP Act 2023
This app processes minimal personal data and provides notice and consent (via the UMP dialog) before any ad personalization. Consent can be withdrawn at any time as described in §7. Data is processed only for the limited purposes listed in §2. We honor data-principal rights to access, correction and erasure via the contact address below.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above always reflects the current version.
