Privacy Policy

Data we collect

None. DevGhar does not request the internet permission and never sends any information off your device. There are no accounts, no login, no OTP, and no sign-in of any kind.

Data stored on your device

To make the app work, the following is stored locally on your device only (in the app's private storage) and is never uploaded to us or any third party:

• The name you optionally enter during onboarding (used only to greet you).
• Your chosen deities and practice preferences.
• Your reading history, favourites, and playlists.
• Your japa (mala) counts, streak, and milestones.
• Your संकल्प (goals) and their progress, and any reminder times you set.
• Records you choose to add: temple visits, meditation sittings, fasting days, and private journal notes.

This information stays on your phone. If you uninstall the app, it is removed. You can export a copy to a file you control, and import it back, from within the app's Settings — entirely under your control and never sent to us.

Sharing a verse

When you tap “share” on a verse or card, the app creates an image on your device and hands it to whichever app you pick in Android's share sheet (for example WhatsApp). DevGhar itself transmits nothing; what happens next is governed by the app you chose to share with.

Device backup

If you have enabled Android's system backup (Google Drive backup), Android may include the app's local data in your own device backup, restored when you set up a new phone. This is a feature of your Android device and your Google account, governed by Google's Privacy Policy. We never receive or access this backup.

Data sharing

We do not share any data with anyone, because we do not collect any.

Advertising and analytics

The app contains no advertisements and no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.

Children's privacy

The app contains only traditional devotional content and collects no data, so it is safe for all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children.

Permissions

• Notifications (optional): used only to send the reminders you choose to enable — the daily reminder, festival reminders, and per-संकल्प reminders. You can decline or turn them off at any time; the app works fully without them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new “last updated” date.
