# Divine Status — Privacy Policy
**Effective date: 13 August 2026**
**Last updated: 13 August 2026**
This Privacy Policy explains how Divine Status ("Divine Status", the "App", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the App.
## 1. Information we collect
### Information you provide
- **Support communications:** if you email us, we receive the information contained in your message and your email address.
- **Waitlist information:** if you voluntarily join an in-app waitlist, we collect the email address you submit.
### App activity and usage information
We may collect information about how you use the App, including:
- onboarding choices and whether requested notification or display-over-other-apps permissions were granted;
- charging-animation modal actions, selection and activation results;
- paywall views, plan selection, paywall closure, purchase attempts and purchase or restoration results;
- whether the charging screen was shown and whether charging-animation playback failed; and
- diagnostic events, crashes, errors and performance information supplied by the App, operating system or app store.
We limit product-analytics collection to the events needed to understand onboarding, charging-animation setup, subscription conversion and charging-screen reliability. We do not use PostHog to record routine image or reel views, saves, Pranaam actions, downloads or shares in the current App version.
### Device and technical information
We may process:
- app version, build number, installation time, and install-referrer information;
- device manufacturer, model, operating system, platform, and language selection;
- an app-generated analytics identifier or device/application identifier;
- push-notification token;
- network and diagnostic metadata; and
- battery level and charging state when necessary to provide charging-animation functionality.
### Purchases
Purchases are processed by Google Play or the applicable app store. We and RevenueCat receive subscription-product, entitlement, transaction-status, renewal, and restoration information needed to provide Divine Status Pro. We do not receive or store your complete payment-card details.
### Information stored locally on your device
The App stores certain preferences and activity locally, such as:
- selected language and onboarding status;
- selected charging animation, repeat settings, and downloaded animation file;
- saved or liked content identifiers;
- streaks, last-visit information, and interaction counts;
- cached content and Pro-entitlement status; and
- notification-prompt and update state.
Locally stored information may be removed when you clear App data or uninstall the App, although media you explicitly saved to your gallery may remain.
## 2. Permissions and sensitive device access
The App may request the following access:
- **Display over other apps:** used only to show your chosen charging animation when charging. The App does not use this permission to read content displayed by other apps.
- **Notifications:** used to send devotional-content and service notifications after permission is granted.
- **Photos/media:** used when you ask to save an image or reel to your device. The App does not require general access to browse your media library where the operating system supports save-only access.
- **Battery status:** used to detect charging and display charging information.
- **Advertising identifier or tracking permission:** the App configuration may allow analytics or advertising measurement technologies to access an advertising identifier where permitted by the platform and your consent/settings.
The App does not request microphone, contacts, or precise-location permission for its current features.
## 3. How we use information
We use information to:
- provide images, reels, charging animations, downloads, saves, sharing, and notifications;
- process, verify, and restore Pro subscriptions;
- remember settings and provide offline or reliable animation playback;
- measure engagement and improve onboarding, content, reliability, and performance;
- diagnose crashes, errors, abuse, security issues, and service interruptions;
- provide support and respond to requests;
- send service or content notifications with permission; and
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.
Depending on where you live, we process information based on performance of our contract with you, your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and improving the App, and compliance with legal obligations.
## 4. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with service providers that operate App functions on our behalf, including:
- **Supabase:** backend database, interaction counts, animation-usage records, waitlist entries, and push-token storage;
- **PostHog:** product analytics, app-usage events, device/app attributes, and charging-animation analytics;
- **RevenueCat:** subscription offerings, entitlement verification, purchases, and restoration;
- **Google Play or other app stores:** app distribution, billing, subscription management, diagnostics, and crash reporting;
- **Expo:** application updates, push-notification delivery, and supporting app infrastructure;
- **Meta/Facebook technologies:** app-event or advertising measurement where enabled and permitted; and
- **Cloudflare:** public hosting and delivery of devotional images, reels, charging animations, configuration data, and related media infrastructure; and
- **other technical providers:** supporting infrastructure required to operate and secure the App.
When you choose Share, the App sends the selected file to the device share sheet. The destination app you select processes that content under its own privacy policy.
We may also disclose information if required by law; to protect users, rights, safety, or security; to investigate fraud or abuse; or as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, or transfer of the App, subject to appropriate safeguards.
## 5. Advertising and analytics choices
We use analytics to understand feature usage and improve the App. The App may also use advertising or attribution identifiers where enabled. You can limit advertising personalisation or reset your advertising identifier through device settings. On platforms that require tracking permission, you can deny or later revoke that permission.
Device settings may not stop essential operational measurements required for security, subscriptions, or basic App functionality.
## 6. Notifications
Notifications are optional. If you grant permission, we may send notifications about new devotional images or reels, reminders, and important service information. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.
## 7. Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing the App, maintaining subscriptions and account records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, preventing abuse, and complying with legal obligations.
Retention periods vary by data type and service provider. Analytics data may be retained in aggregated or de-identified form. App-store transaction records may be retained as required by the store and applicable financial or legal rules.
## 8. Data security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no electronic transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
## 9. Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or a copy of your personal information, and to object to or withdraw consent for certain processing.
You can also:
- manage permissions and notifications in device settings;
- manage or cancel subscriptions in Google Play or the applicable app store;
- use Restore Purchases to recover an eligible entitlement;
- clear locally stored data by clearing App storage or uninstalling the App; and
- request deletion of account-associated or backend information by emailing us.
To make a privacy or deletion request, email **divinestatus999@gmail.com**. We may need to verify information associated with the request before completing it. Some information may be retained where legally required or necessary to protect legitimate rights.
## 10. Children’s privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Where local law sets a higher age for valid consent, a parent or guardian must provide any required consent. If you believe a child provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact us so we can investigate and delete it where required.
## 11. International processing
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on legally recognised transfer mechanisms and contractual or organisational safeguards.
## 12. Third-party links and services
The App may link to external websites, app stores, or sharing services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for services we do not control.
## 13. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy when the App, our practices, third-party services, or legal requirements change. We will revise the “Last updated” date and may provide an in-app notice for material changes.
