Privacy Policy

What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy applies to Paliam Panikulam News, the private family news and account-access service available through the Panikulam website, including the request-access flow at https://www.panikulam.com/news/register and the SMS messaging program connected to that service.

Paliam Panikulam News is intended to share family news updates, access-request confirmations, approval/login notices, and related administrative messages for family members and invited relatives.

Information we collect

• Contact information you submit, such as your name, email address, and mobile phone number.
• Account review information submitted through the request-access flow, including date of birth, country, and the answer you provide to the site security question.
• Technical and usage information needed to run the website, such as browser data, analytics events, and session cookies used to keep you signed in.

How we use your information

• To review access requests and administer entry to Paliam Panikulam News.
• To send email and SMS messages related to access approval, request confirmations, and recurring family news updates when you have opted in.
• To maintain account security, prevent abuse, and improve the website experience.

SMS consent and messaging privacy

Users opt in to SMS by visiting https://www.panikulam.com/news/register, choosing to add a mobile phone number, entering that number, and checking a visible SMS consent box before submitting the form. The checkbox is unchecked by default, and SMS consent is not a condition of access or approval.

The SMS program may send recurring family news updates, access-request confirmations, approval/login notices, and closely related administrative text messages. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Users can opt out at any time by replying STOP, and they can request help by replying HELP or emailing admin@panikulam.com.

Mobile opt-in data, SMS consent, and phone numbers collected for SMS communications are not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

How long we keep information

We keep submitted account and messaging information for as long as it is reasonably needed to operate the service, maintain records of approvals and consent, resolve disputes, and satisfy legal or operational obligations.

Your choices

• You may choose not to provide a phone number when requesting access.
• You may opt out of SMS at any time by replying STOP.
• You may contact the site administrator at admin@panikulam.com if you need help with your account or messaging preferences.
