Hare Krishna Chanting ("we," "our," or "us") may collect, store, and use your personal information in connection with developing and providing to you its products, mobile applications, websites, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
We operate on the principle that your personal information belongs to you, and only you can decide who you want to share it with and why. This is fundamental to the way we work, and we are committed to providing a secure environment for you to store your personal information and share it only when you choose to.
This Privacy Policy explains how personal and other information is collected and used by us. Please read it carefully, as all of our Services are governed by this Privacy Policy. By using or accessing any Service, you agree to and give consent to this collection, processing, transmission, retention, and use of information and data related to you.
You may withdraw such consent at any time by contacting us at hadost7@gmail.com or through available in-app settings. Your withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out by us prior to such withdrawal.
You are not authorized to install, access, or otherwise use the Services if you do not agree and consent to this Privacy Policy.
The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions unless otherwise defined in this document.
If you are located outside the United States, you acknowledge and consent to the processing of your data in the country where it was collected, as well as in other countries where it may be transferred, including the United States. Please note that data protection regulations in these countries may be less strict than in your own country.
