❌ No location tracking (GPS or IP-based)
❌ No device identifiers or advertising IDs

Website Privacy Policy

Information We Collect (Google Analytics)

Our website is privacy-minded and collects minimal data only via Google Analytics:

✅ Anonymous site usage statistics via Google Analytics
❌ No personal info collection by us (name, email, login, etc.)
❌ No social media/ad tracking scripts or newsletters
❌ No third-party ads

How Google Analytics Works

We use Google Analytics solely to understand how our site is used, improve accessibility, and keep the site clean and relevant for spiritual seekers. Google Analytics sets cookies that collect non-personal, anonymous data:

Device type, browser, and operating system
Pages visited and time spent
General geographic region (country/city, never address or GPS)
Referral source and visit timing

This helps optimize the app’s features, fix bugs, and improve visitor experience. No data is ever merged, sold, or used for ads or remarketing. No cross-site profiling.

How to Opt Out

Opting Out is Easy:

Block or clear cookies in your browser settings whenever you want.
Install Google’s official Analytics opt-out browser addon.

Our website features and spiritual content are fully accessible even if analytics is blocked.

External Links

Links to Google Play Store and Facebook operate under those companies' own privacy and cookie policies. Please review their policies as needed.

Server Logs

Our host may temporarily log connection info (your IP address, browser/version, time, and page views) for security—never user profiling. Logs auto-delete after 7 days.

Cookies

Our site only sets two types of cookies:

✅ Google Analytics cookies (anonymous statistics only)
✅ Essential session cookies for site function (e.g., language preferences)
❌ No ad, remarketing, or social tracking cookies

You can control or clear cookies anytime. Our privacy-first approach means no tracking or sales of visitor data.

Transparency Promise: Google Analytics is used strictly to optimize user experience. No spiritual seeker is profiled—for ads, marketing, or any commercial goals.

Data Security

No personal data is ever collected. Our infrastructure is protected with:

✅ HTTPS secure encryption for website visitors
✅ Secure hosting and regular updates/monitoring

Your Rights

Since we collect no personal info, you control all preferences and app data locally. To clear, just remove app data or uninstall. For cookies, use your browser settings.

Legal Compliance

✅ GDPR (EU Data Protection)
✅ CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
✅ India IT Act & Data Protection Norms
✅ Google Play Store Policies

As we do not collect personal data (except analytics cookies described above), we comply with major privacy regulations globally.
