Privacy Policy for Hindi Story Express

Privacy Policy – Hindi Story Express

Effective Date: 31-08-2026

Hindi Story Express ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application collects, uses, and handles your data when you use our services.

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address. No account creation or login is required to use our app.

However, to provide a seamless experience and support our services, our app utilizes third-party SDKs that automatically collect certain limited information, including:

• Device or Other IDs: This includes your Advertising ID, Android ID, and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) token.

• Device Information: Device model, operating system version, and mobile network information.

• App Usage Data: Interactions, screen views, crash reports, and session duration.

2. App Features & Functionality

Hindi Story Express allows users to:

• Read Hindi stories across various categories.

• Mark stories as favorites for quick access.

• Share stories with friends and family.

• Receive push notifications for new story updates.

3. How We Use Data

The limited, non-personal data collected is strictly used for the following purposes:

• App Functionality: Using device tokens to send you push notifications about new stories and app updates.

• Advertising & Marketing: Using your device's Advertising ID to serve relevant third-party advertisements within the app.

• Analytics: Understanding user behavior, monitoring app health, and improving overall performance and stability.

4. Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. However, as declared in our Google Play Data Safety section, the "Device or other IDs" collected are shared with trusted third-party service providers to facilitate core app functions and monetization. We use the following services:

• Google AdMob: Used for displaying advertisements. AdMob may collect and share your Advertising ID to serve personalized or non-personalized ads.

• Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM): Used to deliver push notifications to your device.

• Google Analytics for Firebase: Used to analyze app traffic and track crash reports.

These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies. For more information, please review the Google Privacy Policy.

5. Permissions

To function correctly, our app may request the following permissions:

• Internet Access: To load dynamic story content, display advertisements, and send analytics.

• Notifications (Android 13+): To alert you when new stories are added.

We do NOT request access to: Your Camera, Contacts, Microphone, Precise Location, or local Storage.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our application offers content suitable for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. However, third-party services (like AdMob and Analytics) may collect limited device identifiers to serve contextual ads or track app performance. If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

7. Data Security & Retention

We take reasonable and industry-standard measures to protect your data. All communication between the app and our servers is secured using standard encryption (HTTPS). Because we do not maintain user accounts, we do not store personal profiles on our servers. Device IDs and analytics data are retained by our third-party partners only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy.

8. Data Deletion & Opt-Out

Since Hindi Story Express does not require user registration, we do not hold personal account data to delete. However, users have full control over their data:

• Advertising ID: You can opt out of personalized ads or reset your Advertising ID directly from your Android device settings (Settings > Google > Ads).

• Notifications: You can disable push notifications for our app at any time via your device settings.

• App Data: You can clear all saved preferences (like your Favorite stories) by clearing the app data in your device settings or by uninstalling the app.

9. Policy Updates

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted within the app or on this page, and the "Effective Date" will be updated accordingly. By continuing to use Hindi Story Express, you agree to the revised Privacy Policy.
