Privacy Policy for Aradhana Sadhana

Aradhana Sadhana ("we", "our", or "the App") is developed as a free devotional utility application designed to assist users in their daily spiritual prayers, mantra recitations, chalisa readings, aartis, and digital jap mala counting.

This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our Android application.

1. Information Collection and Storage

A. Personal Information

We do NOT collect any personally identifiable information (PII).
You do not need to create an account, register, or provide your name, phone number, email address, or physical location to use the App.

B. Device & Local Data Storage

All personal preferences (such as selected font size, script language mode, dark/light theme, bookmarked favorite prayers, recitation counters, and daily Jap Mala goals) are saved strictly locally on your device using on-device preferences and storage.
This data never leaves your device and is never uploaded, transferred, or transmitted to any external server or third party.

C. Permissions Used

The App requests minimal permissions strictly needed for core functionality:

android.permission.VIBRATE: Used exclusively to provide subtle haptic vibration feedback when you tap digital mala beads or complete a full 108-bead recitation round. No personal or private data is accessed or collected through this permission.

The App does not request access to your camera, microphone, precise location, contacts, phone storage, photos, or device accounts.

2. Third-Party Services & Advertisements

No Third-Party Tracking or Ads: The App does not contain third-party ad networks, tracking scripts, or commercial user profiling tools.
Offline Functionality: The full library of sacred texts, chalisas, stotrams, and aartis is bundled directly inside the application, allowing complete offline recitation without requiring an active internet connection.

3. Data Retention and Deletion

Because all your data (reading progress, mala counts, favorites, and settings) is stored locally on your device:

You retain complete ownership and control over your data.
You can erase all stored data at any time through your Android device settings: Settings > Apps > Aradhana Sadhana > Storage > Clear Storage / Clear Data, or simply by uninstalling the application.

4. Children’s Privacy

Aradhana Sadhana does not address anyone under the age of 13 for personal data collection, nor do we knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

5. Security

We value your trust. Because no personal information is transmitted over the internet or stored on external cloud databases, your data is protected by the built-in application sandboxing and security features of your Android operating system.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this page periodically for any modifications.
