Privacy Policy – Bhagavad Gita App

Last Updated: 24-11-2025

Your privacy isn’t my problem — it’s your right. This app respects it and does not collect anything unnecessary. Below is exactly what happens inside the Bhagavad Gita app, without sugarcoating or misleading wording.

1. Information We Collect

We DO NOT collect:

• No personal data

• No name, email, phone number, or account details

• No location

• No contacts, files, photos, microphone, camera, or storage access

• No background tracking

Automatic Data (from third-party services):

The app uses Google AdMob to show ads.
AdMob may automatically collect:

• Advertising ID

• Device info (model, OS version, etc.)

• App usage data related to ads

• IP address (for fraud prevention)

This data is handled by Google, not by me. I don’t see or store any of it.

For details, read Google’s policy:
Search: “Google AdMob Privacy & Terms”

2. How We Use Data

The app itself uses zero user data.
AdMob uses its collected data only for:

• Showing ads

• Personalizing ads (if allowed by Google settings)

• Preventing ad fraud

• Analytics for advertisers

Again, I don’t control or access this data.

3. Permissions

The app does NOT request any runtime permissions.

Everything works without:

• Storage permission

• Microphone permission

• Camera permission

• Location permission

The Text-to-Speech feature works using Android’s built-in TTS engine and needs no additional permission.

4. Audio (Text-to-Speech)

The audio feature reads Sanskrit, Transliteration, or Translation using the system TTS engine.

• No audio is recorded

• No voice data is collected

• No audio leaves the device

5. Navigation & Verse Display

When you:

• Switch between Sanskrit / Transliteration / Translation

• Open verses

• Swipe for next/previous verses

All actions happen locally on the device. No data is sent anywhere.

6. Children’s Privacy

The app is educational and can be used by all ages.
But since AdMob is used, it must not be targeted specifically at children under 13.

Google may deliver child-safe ads automatically depending on device settings.

7. Data Sharing

The app directly shares nothing with anyone.

The only third-party that receives any data is:

• Google AdMob (for ads)

No SDK other than AdMob is integrated.

8. Data Retention

The app stores no personal data, so there is nothing to retain or delete.

AdMob handles its own data retention based on Google’s policies.

9. Security

Since the app does not collect or store user data, there is no user data that can be leaked or stolen.

10. Your Choices

You can control ad personalization in your Google settings:

• Settings → Google → Ads → Reset Advertising ID

• Or use “Opt out of Ads Personalization”

AdMob follows these settings automatically.

11. Changes to This Policy

If the app starts collecting new data, requesting permissions, adding analytics, or changing how ads work, this privacy policy will be updated.
