How the Sampada app handles personal data: an optional account, location that never leaves the phone, no ads and no tracking — and how to have your account deleted.
Last updated: September 20, 2026
Sampada is a heritage app: festivals, heritage sites, facts and festival reminders. Its content is published and verified by the municipality or heritage body whose heritage it is — Lalitpur Metropolitan City is the first to publish through Sampada. The app and the service behind it are built and operated by Sironik Tech Pvt. Ltd., which is the company answerable for the personal data described here. This is the same policy the app links to, published at sampada.sironik.com/privacy.
Sampada asks for a permission only when a feature needs it, and says why before your phone does. You can refuse any of them, or withdraw them later in your phone's settings, and the rest of the app keeps working.
The map's images come from OpenStreetMap. Like any online map, their servers see which area of the map your phone downloads, but not your exact position or who you are.
An account is optional. If you create one, we store:
We use this data only to provide your account. We don't send marketing messages.
Sampada carries no advertising, no analytics and no crash reporting — the app contains no such software at all. We do not build profiles of you, we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and we never sell or rent personal data. Because there is nothing to track, the app does not ask for Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission and collects no advertising identifier on either platform.
Each of them acts on our instructions, under contract, and may not use your data for its own purposes. We share personal data with nobody else, unless the law requires it.
Our servers and database are run by hosting providers whose data centres may be outside Nepal, and the services above may handle data in other countries, including outside the European Economic Area. Wherever it goes, the data stays limited to what this policy describes, travels encrypted, and is covered by contract terms that hold those providers to it.
We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. You can delete your account at any time:
Deleting your account immediately removes your profile, sign-in details, synced favorites and sessions from our servers, and scrubs your name, phone number and email from our internal change log — which keeps only the fact that an account was created and deleted. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting, and are then deleted automatically. Favorites saved on your device stay there until you remove them or uninstall the app.
All traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS). Passwords, sign-in codes and session tokens are stored only as hashes, and the app keeps its sign-in session in your device's secure storage — the iOS Keychain or the Android Keystore.
Anyone can browse Sampada, and it holds nothing unsuitable for children. Accounts are not intended for anyone under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from a child under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has created an account, write to us and we will delete it and the data with it.
You can ask us at any time to:
Write to support@sironik.com from the email address on the account, or with the phone number on it. We answer within 30 days. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may also complain to your national data protection authority.
Where the law asks for a legal basis: we handle account data to provide the account you asked for, we rely on your consent for location and notifications, and on our legitimate interest in a secure, working service for server logs and for stopping abuse.
Our App Store privacy labels and our Google Play Data safety form say the same as this page: the only personal data collected is what an optional account needs — name, email address or phone number, account identifier and favorites — it is used only to run the app and the account, it is never used for advertising or tracking, it travels encrypted, and you can have it deleted.
If we change this policy, we will update it here and at sampada.sironik.com/privacy and change the date above. If a change affects how your data is used, we will also say so in the app.
