Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Shiv Bhakti : Puja & Mantras. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our mobile application.

2. Information We Collect

We do not directly collect any Personal Identifiable Information (PII) (such as your name, email address, or phone number). However, the app does use third-party services that may collect information used to identify your device.

Devotional Media Assets: Features such as downloading divine imagery, triggering interactive temple bells, or modifying systemic device wallpapers are executed inside sandboxed native device environments. No telemetry tracking or asset interactions are transmitted back to our infrastructure.

3. Infrastructure Network Layer

The Application utilizes secure, standard cloud network endpoints to pull dynamic database variables:

Dynamic Content Queries: The Image Gallery module utilizes Retrofit interface mechanisms to communicate with cloud resource servers (Cloudinary APIs) solely to read configuration JSON logs containing secure image URLs.

Anonymized Access logs: These network requests do not attach account authentication structures, device IDs, or behavioral identifiers, running strictly over encrypted HTTPS channels.

4. Third-Party Services (Google AdMob)

This app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use data to provide personalized ads and analyze performance. This data may include:

5. Hardware Configuration & Device Permissions

To run specific interactive native features, the platform safely requests hardware hooks:

Wallpaper Manager Hooks: System privileges are called explicitly when you select the "Set Wallpaper" routine within the Gallery module. This action operates entirely client-side using Android hardware bitmaps to update Home or Lock screens.

Media Integration: Native MediaPlayer channels use internal memory pointers to handle localized audio tracking loops (Damru twists, Shankh acoustics, Temple hand-bells) and drop loops immediately upon lifecycle interruptions.

6. How We Use Information

The information collected by third-party services is used for:

7. Cookies and Tracking

We and our partners (like AdMob) use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like Mobile Advertising IDs) to analyze trends and track user behavior within the app to improve the ad experience.

8. Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at appstudioultimate@gmail.com so that we will be able to take necessary actions.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.

10. Data Deletion and Device Identifiers Opt-Out

Our application, Shiv Bhakti: Puja & Mantra, does not manage user accounts, authentication profiles, or collect personally identifiable information (such as your name, email, or phone number) on any external server databases.

However, we integrate the Google AdMob SDK to display advertisements. Google automatically collects and processes your device's Advertising ID to serve personalized ads, track analytics, and prevent click fraud. This identifier is not linked to your personal identity.

How to Request Deletion or Reset your Data:
Because this data is entirely controlled by your mobile hardware system, you can erase, delete, or reset this information instantly at any time directly through your device settings:

  1. Open your device's Settings app.
  2. Navigate to Google (or Privacy > Google).
  3. Tap on Ads.
  4. Select Reset advertising ID or Delete advertising ID.

For any technical questions regarding your data privacy compliance, you may contact us directly via our support email.
