Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Commitment

At Poochandi.in (operated by Poochandi Varaan), we prioritize the privacy and safety of our visitors, particularly children and their families. This Privacy Policy details our practices regarding the collection, storage, and handling of information when you use our website or submit child name requests.

2. Information We Collect

When a parent or guardian voluntarily submits a request on our Send Request page, we collect:

• Parent or legal guardian's full name.
• Child's first name or affectionate nickname.
• Child's approximate age range or grade.
• Selected behavior or habit to encourage (e.g., eating vegetables, bedtime).
• City / general location (optional).
• Parent's special instructions for Poochandi (optional).

3. Verifiable Parental Consent & Child Protection

We require explicit affirmative consent from a parent or legal guardian before any child details can be submitted. We strictly uphold child data protection principles:

• Submitted names and child details are never published publicly on our website.
• Child submission records are not indexed by Google or search engine crawlers.
• We never sell, rent, or trade children's data to third parties, data brokers, or advertisers.
• Child information is strictly used for the artistic creation of positive habit shoutouts in our video/audio reels.

4. Data Retention, Security & Deletion Rights

All submissions are stored within a secure, authenticated database with restricted administrative access. Parents retain the permanent right to inspect, correct, or request the immediate deletion of their child's records at any time by contacting us at privacy@poochandi.in or through our Contact form.
