Privacy Policy — Tirumala Info Booking Helper

Browser extension · Last updated 30 September 2026

The short version This extension stores the details you type on your own device. It has no server, sends no data anywhere, and contains no analytics or tracking of any kind. Nothing you enter ever reaches us, because there is nowhere for it to go.

This extension is an independent tool from TirumalaInfo, a devotee-run information site, made to help pilgrims book faster. TirumalaInfo is not connected with Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).

What is stored

Only what you choose to type into the extension:

Pilgrim name, age and gender
Photo ID proof type and photo ID number (for example an Aadhaar or passport number)
Email address, mobile number, city, state, country and PIN code
Profile names you create (“Family”, “Relatives”, and so on)
An optional Gothram, if you enter one for sevas that ask for it (such as the Divyanugraha Homam)
Optional Srivari Seva volunteer (Sevak) profiles, if you choose to save them — up to fifteen for a group leader — each with a name, father/spouse name, date of birth, blood group, fitness, and professional, educational and address details, plus a photo and a document image, and (if you set one) a preferred Srivari Seva location. These stay on your device exactly like everything else.
Your own settings, and any field mappings you create
Your activation key and a short request token — used only to unlock the tool on this device. The key is checked on your device with maths (a signature); it is never sent anywhere, and we receive nothing when you activate
A cached copy of the booking site’s own “Latest Updates” notices, so the upcoming-releases schedule can be shown — read from the page you visit, not fetched, and containing no personal data

Where it is stored

In your browser’s local extension storage (chrome.storage.local), on the device you are using. It is not synced to any account.

We deliberately do not use chrome.storage.sync, because that would copy your ID numbers through your browser vendor’s sync servers. Keeping storage local means the data stays on the machine you typed it on.

What is never done with it

Never transmitted. The extension makes no network requests. There is no server, no API, no endpoint.
Never shared or sold. No third parties receive any data, because no data leaves your device.
No analytics or tracking. No usage statistics, no telemetry, no advertising identifiers, no cookies.
The logged-out reminder reads only. The optional “you appear logged out” banner looks at the page’s own text to tell whether you are signed in. It stores nothing, sends nothing, and never touches the login form.
No account required. You do not register, and we do not know who you are.

This is verifiable from the source code, which is unminified and readable in the published package. There is no XMLHttpRequest, no WebSocket, and no remote URL anywhere in it.

(One fetch() call does appear, used to read a data: URL back into a file object so a saved photo can be attached to an upload field. data: URLs are local to the page and never touch the network.)

Data you send to TTD, not to us

When you use the Booking Helper, your saved details go into the booking form on the official Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams website — either filled directly (on sites that allow it) or pasted by you (on the main site, which now blocks direct filling), exactly as if you had typed them yourself. What happens to that information afterwards is governed by TTD’s own privacy policy and terms, not this one. We are not party to it.

Permissions, and why each is needed

Permission	Why
`storage`	To save your pilgrim details, settings and your activation key on your device
`activeTab` and host access to `ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in` and `tirupatibalaji.ap.gov.in`	To read and help fill the booking form. The extension runs only on these TTD booking domains
`clipboardWrite`	To place one saved value on the clipboard so you can paste it into a field with ⌘/Ctrl+V — TTD now blocks direct filling on their main site, so the helper assists you to paste instead
`scripting`	To re-attach the extension to an already-open booking tab after it is updated or reloaded

The extension runs only on the official TTD booking domains ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in and tirupatibalaji.ap.gov.in.

What the extension does not do

It does not bypass, defeat or interfere with any queue, CAPTCHA, login, rate limit or security measure.
It does not book tickets for you, and it cannot improve your chances of getting a slot beyond saving you typing time.
It does not handle payments. It never touches the Pay Now button, and it never sees or stores card, UPI or banking details.
It does not guarantee that any booking will succeed.

You remain responsible for the accuracy of the details you enter and for complying with TTD’s own terms and conditions.

Your control over the data

Edit or delete anything at any time in the extension’s popup.
Delete everything by removing the extension. Uninstalling clears its local storage.
Export creates a JSON file saved by you, to your own device. That file contains your ID numbers in plain text, so treat it like the documents themselves. It is only ever created when you click Export.

Children

This extension is not directed at children and is not intended for use by them. It is a form-filling tool for adults making their own travel bookings.

This website (not the extension)

Everything above is about the extension, which sends nothing. This website — the pages you are reading now on tirumalainfo.com — is a separate thing, and it does use standard, privacy-respecting analytics so we can see which guides people find useful: Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity. These record anonymous, aggregate visit data (pages viewed, buttons clicked, how far a page is scrolled, approximate region and device type). They do not see anything you type into a TTD booking form, and they have no access to the details the extension keeps on your device. If you prefer not to be measured, a browser “Do Not Track” setting, an ad-blocker, or private-browsing mode will stop them, and the site works exactly the same either way.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the “last updated” date above changes with it, and the current version will always be published at this URL.
