Privacy Policy

ISKCON Youth Forum Patna (IYF Patna) is the youth wing of ISKCON Patna and operates from Sri Sri Radha Banke Bihari Temple, Buddha Marg, Patna - 800001, Bihar, India. IYF Patna is not a separate legal entity; it functions under ISKCON Patna and its Temple Management Council.

For any privacy question, the contact address is given at the end of this page.

Information you give us: when you register for a program, course or festival, or create an account, we collect your name, email address, phone number and, where relevant to the activity, your college or city.

Information collected automatically: basic technical data such as your browser type, device type, approximate region and the pages you visit. This is used to keep the site working and secure, not to build a profile of you.

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. We do not collect biometric, health or financial information on this website.

iyfpatna.in does not process payments and does not collect card, UPI or bank details. Where a paid activity such as a yatra is offered, registration and payment happen on that activity's own website, which publishes its own privacy, refund and terms pages and uses its own payment gateway.

Donations offered through our donate page are received by ISKCON Patna, not by iyfpatna.in: each donate button opens ISKCON Patna's own donation page at iskconpatna.in, where the payment is completed on the temple's gateway and where your name, contact details and PAN are collected for the receipt.

To confirm and manage your registration for a program, course, festival or yatra.

To contact you about the activity you signed up for — schedule changes, venue details and reminders.

To share occasional updates about IYF Patna activities. You can ask us to stop at any time.

To keep the website secure and to understand which pages are useful, in aggregate.

We use a small number of cookies and browser storage entries that are necessary for the site to work: your language preference (Hindi or English), your light or dark theme choice, and, if you sign in, a session cookie that keeps you signed in.

We do not use advertising cookies and we do not sell or share your data with advertisers.

We rely on a small number of trusted providers to run this site: a database host to store registrations, an authentication provider to manage sign-in, and an email provider to send confirmation messages. These providers process data only on our instructions and only to deliver their part of the service.

We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

Registration records are kept as long as needed to run the activity and to maintain our attendance and community records. If you ask us to delete your information, we will do so unless we are required to keep it for a legitimate record-keeping reason.

You may ask us to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop sending you updates. Write to the contact address below and we will respond within a reasonable period.

Photographs and video are often taken at our festivals and programs and may be published on this site or on our social media. If you would prefer not to appear, please tell a coordinator at the event or write to us and we will remove the image.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last reviewed.
