Privacy Policy for Srimad Bhagavatam Hindi

Effective Date: July 2, 2026

The Srimad Bhagavatam Hindi mobile application ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in our mobile application ("the App"), which is published under the package name com.bhagavatam.

1. Information We DO NOT Collect

Except for the third-party ad services described in Section 3, the Srimad Bhagavatam Hindi App is designed to be completely offline and serverless:

• Does not require you to create an online account or register.
• Does not collect or upload your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal identification to our servers.
• Does not access your contacts, camera, photos, microphone, or device storage (beyond the standard sandboxed local app storage).

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

To provide a personalized reading experience, the App stores certain data strictly locally on your device's secure storage:

• Bookmarks: The verses you bookmark or save for quick reference.
• Reading Progress & History: The books, chapters, and verses you have read to resume your reading.
• Settings: Your reading preferences (such as Dark Mode, Font Scale, and Keep Screen Awake options).

All this data remains entirely on your device's local database (SQLite/SharedPreferences) and is never transmitted over the internet to our servers or any third parties.

3. Advertisements & Third-Party Services

To keep this application free, we display ads using Google Mobile Ads (AdMob). Google AdMob may collect and use certain device information to serve personalized or non-personalized advertisements, track ad performance, and prevent fraud:

• Device Identifiers: Mobile advertising identifiers (such as Android's Advertising ID / GAID or iOS's IDFA).
• Usage Data: Information about how you interact with ads displayed in the App.
• IP Address: Used to identify general geographic location for ad targeting.

For more information on how Google AdMob collects, shares, and uses your data, please review the Google Privacy & Terms.

4. Children’s Privacy

Our App is designed for general audiences seeking spiritual and philosophical wisdom from the Srimad Bhagavatam. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we do not collect any personal information directly, we are fully compliant with children's privacy regulations (such as COPPA).

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
