1. Introduction

Welcome to Mera Kalam — a poetry-writing and collection app designed for poets to create, save, and back up their personal poetry (“kalam”).
Your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Mera Kalam handles your information.

2. Information We Collect

Mera Kalam does not collect, store, or share personal information on its own servers.
The app only stores your data locally on your device and optionally allows you to back up and restore your poetry data through Google Drive.

Specifically:

• Local Storage: Your poems, titles, and collections are stored only on your phone’s local database.
  
  

• Google Drive Backup: When you choose to back up or restore, Mera Kalam uses your Google Account to access a private app folder on your Google Drive (AppDataFolder).
  Only you can view or manage this folder — no one else (including the developer) has access.

3. How We Use Information

Your data is used only to provide the app’s core features:

• Save, edit, and manage your poetry.
  
  

• Backup and restore poetry from your Google Drive.
  We do not use your information for analytics, advertising, or tracking.

4. Data Sharing and Security

We do not share your data with any third party.
Google Drive backups are handled securely using Google’s authentication and encryption systems (OAuth 2.0).
Your poetry data is never transmitted to any external server controlled by Mera Kalam.

5. Third-Party Services

Mera Kalam uses the following Google services:

• Google Sign-In (to authenticate your account)
  
  

• Google Drive API (to store and restore backups)
  
  

These services are provided by Google LLC and governed by Google’s Privacy Policy

6. Your Rights

You can:

• Delete your poems or backups at any time from within the app.
  
  

• Revoke Mera Kalam’s access to your Google account via your Google Account Permissions

7. Children’s Privacy

Mera Kalam is designed for users aged 13 and older.
We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.
