What Vandana never collects

• No account, sign-up, name, email, or phone number: none is ever requested inside the app
• No location data
• No payment or financial information
• No user-generated content is uploaded or shared with other users

Kept only on your device

Your reading progress, font size, favourites, japa (mala) counts, and reminder times are stored locally on your phone. None of it is uploaded anywhere. Uninstalling the app removes it.

Collected to keep the app working well

Two kinds of technical data are collected, so problems can be found and fixed, and so we know which features are actually used:

• Firebase Analytics (Google): anonymous usage events, which content was opened, when a japa session was completed, when sharing was used. Nothing personally identifying is attached.
• Firebase Crashlytics and Sentry: if the app crashes, technical details are recorded (device model, OS version, app version, the code path involved) to diagnose the issue. Never your reading content or japa counts.

These services may collect device identifiers as part of their normal operation. Details: Firebase's privacy policy and Sentry's privacy policy.

Children's privacy

Vandana is a general-audience app and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
