Privacy Policy for Bhagavad Gita
This Privacy Policy describes how the "Bhagavad Gita" mobile application (the "App"), developed for Android devices, handles your information.
By using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Data Collection & Third-Party Services
We value your privacy. While we (the developers) do not directly collect, capture, store, upload, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address, the App integrates third-party services that may collect, process, or transmit certain device-related data.
These services are used to show advertisements, track app performance, and manage application configuration.
The third-party service providers used by the App include:
* Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK): Used to display advertisements in the App. AdMob may collect and use advertising identifiers (like Google Advertising ID), IP addresses, and device info to serve personalized or non-personalized ads, perform fraud detection, and run analytics.
- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- How Google uses data: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
* Firebase Analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase): Used to collect app usage data, events, and performance details to help us understand how users interact with the App and improve their experience. It may collect information such as device model, OS version, session duration, and user interactions.
- Privacy and Security in Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
* Firebase Remote Config: Used to adjust the behavior and appearance of the App dynamically without requiring users to download an app update. It may collect basic device characteristics to target settings.

2. Local Data Storage
The App relies on your local device to function:
* The App uses local device storage (specifically SQLite database and SharedPreferences) to store your settings, selected languages, bookmarked/favorite shlokas, and your Mala Jap progress.
* All of this data remains stored exclusively on your physical device. We do not have access to this data, nor do we transfer it to our own remote servers.
* Clearing the App's data or uninstalling the App will permanently delete this locally stored information.
3. Third-Party Services & Links
Except for the Google AdMob and Firebase services listed in Section 1, the App does not use other third-party SDKs, advertising networks, or social media integrations that track user activity.
If you choose to use the "Contact Us" or "Share" features:
* Clicking these options will open standard system dialogs on your device (e.g., your default email client or sharing sheet).
* Any information you send via email is handled by your email provider. We will only use your email address to respond to your specific query and will never share it or use it for marketing.
4. Children's Privacy
Our App is intended for a general audience. Because third-party services (like Google AdMob and Firebase) are integrated, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Google Play Console target audience policies. If this app is targeted at children under the age of 13, please note that third-party SDKs must be configured to restrict data collection (e.g., serving non-personalized ads and enabling child-directed settings).
5. Security
We are committed to securing your data. Since all app settings, bookmarks, and Mala Jap progress are stored locally on your device, their security depends on the security of your device itself. We recommend securing your device with a PIN, pattern, password, or biometric lock.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this document. We advise you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
