Rangoli Kala ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application Rangoli Kala (the "App").
Feedback and Support Data: When you submit feedback or contact us via email (or through the in-app rating & feedback dialog), we collect the information you choose to provide. This may include your ratings, comments, device brand/model, OS version, and your contact email address.
When you access and use the App, certain information may be collected automatically by our third-party service providers, including:
Device Information: Device manufacturer, brand, model, operating system version, system language, unique device identifiers, and network connection type.
Usage Data: App interaction metrics, categories viewed, favorite designs saved, session duration, and general performance analytics.
Diagnostic & Crash Logs: Stack traces, crash reports, and system diagnostics collected when an unexpected error or crash occurs via Firebase Crashlytics.
Advertising Identifiers: Google Advertising ID (GAID / AD_ID) used for serving advertisements, frequency capping, and ad measurement.
Saving & Downloading Rangoli Designs: The App allows you to download and save Rangoli designs directly to your device's gallery (Pictures/Rangoli). On Android 10 (API level 29) and higher, files are saved using Android's standard MediaStore API without requiring broad storage access permissions. For older Android versions (Android 9 and below), the App uses WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE solely to save selected Rangoli images to your gallery upon your explicit request.
Sharing Designs: When you share a Rangoli design with friends or family via social applications, the App temporarily caches the selected design and shares it securely using Android's standard FileProvider.
No Access to Personal Photos: The App does NOT read, access, scan, collect, or upload your personal gallery photos, videos, or camera data.
To provide advertisements, app analytics, crash reporting, remote configuration, and seamless image loading, our App integrates trusted third-party SDKs provided by Google and other reputable services:
Google Play Services: Used for core Android system features, app updates, and device integrity.
Google AdMob & User Messaging Platform (UMP): Used to serve advertisements (Banner, Interstitial, Native, Rewarded, and App Open ads) and manage user GDPR consent in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom.
Google Firebase Analytics & Remote Config: Used to understand app usage trends and remotely configure app settings and ad displays.
Google Firebase Crashlytics: Used to monitor app stability, track crashes, and resolve technical issues.
Coil & OkHttp: Used to fetch Rangoli design images efficiently and securely over HTTPS.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
To provide, operate, and maintain the core functionalities of the App.
To allow users to explore, favorite, download, and share Rangoli designs locally.
To gather user feedback and improve app features, design collections, and multi-language support.
To serve non-intrusive advertisements in compliance with Google AdMob policies.
To identify and resolve technical bugs, crashes, and performance issues.
To enforce compliance with applicable laws, terms, and Google Play Developer Policies.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom:
We comply with the EU User Consent Policy and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Before serving any personalized advertisements, you will be presented with a Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent form to explicitly accept or manage your ad privacy preferences.
You can change or revoke your consent preferences at any time by going to Settings → Ad Privacy Settings inside the App.
Our App is designed for a general audience interested in Rangoli art and cultural patterns. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13.
If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal data to us, please contact us immediately at digitthethings@gmail.com, and we will promptly delete such information.
We implement industry-standard security measures (including HTTPS encryption) to protect information transmitted between the App and third-party services.
Your favorite designs, downloaded images, and app preferences are stored locally on your physical device and remain under your complete control.
Anonymous diagnostic logs and crash reports collected via Firebase Crashlytics are retained only as long as necessary to improve app performance and stability.
Opt-out of Personalized Ads: You can opt out of interest-based advertising on your Android device by going to Settings → Google → Ads → Delete Advertising ID or Reset Advertising ID.
Manage Ad Consent: You can re-open and update your ad consent preferences anytime in Settings → Ad Privacy Settings inside the App.
Data Inquiries & Deletion: You may request the deletion of any feedback or communication records you sent to us by contacting us at digitthethings@gmail.com.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.
