Bhakti Path

Overview

Welcome to Bhakti Path! We are committed to protecting the privacy and respecting the devotional values of our users. This Privacy Policy details our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our application. Bhakti Path is designed as a secure, personal guide to support your spiritual journey by helping you read Srimad Bhagavad Gita, track daily sadhana, perform chanting (Naam Jap), and perform virtual pooja.

Information Collection & Use

Our primary goal is to ensure a safe, private, and focus-oriented spiritual practice. Here is exactly how we handle data:

• Personal Information: Since we do not use login forms, signup flows, or cloud database storage for user profiles, we do not collect any personal information (such as your name, email address, phone number, or age).
• Local Device Data: The application saves your devotional progress (including Bhagavad Gita reading history, daily shloka targets, Naam Jap chant counts, sadhana scores, streaks, and language preferences) locally on your device. This data stays entirely on your own physical hardware and is not uploaded to any external server.
• Minimal Permissions: We do not request or access sensitive device permissions such as location services, contacts, camera, or file system storage.

Devotional Integrity & Respect for Faiths

We hold traditional scriptures, virtual pooja rituals, and all religious sentiments in the highest regard. Bhakti Path is built on the values of peace, devotion, and harmony:

• Zero Harmful Content: We strictly declare that Bhakti Path does not host, support, or promote any content that is disrespectful, hateful, critical, or harmful to any religious beliefs, sentiments, deities, communities, or individuals.
• Scriptural Accuracy: The verses of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, meanings, and Vedic Mantras are sourced carefully from traditional and respected scriptures to ensure they remain authentic, educational, and spiritually elevating.

Third-Party Services & Ads

To help support, develop, and maintain Bhakti Path as a free utility, the application may display advertisements served by trusted third-party networks (such as Google AdMob). These networks may process anonymous device metadata, including:

• Your device type, manufacturer, screen resolution, and operating system version.
• Anonymous mobile advertising identifiers (such as the Google Advertising ID or iOS IDFA).
• Generic usage and diagnostic statistics to monitor ad performance and prevent fraudulent activity.

These third-party platforms handle data strictly in accordance with their respective privacy policies. You can manage or disable personalized advertising identifiers within your device's Android/iOS system settings.

Security of Your Data

Since the application is self-contained and operates entirely offline without uploading your sadhana progress or chanting numbers to our servers, your data is physically secure on your own device, providing you with absolute privacy and control over your spiritual records.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any updates will be published directly on this page, and the "Last Updated" date at the top of the policy will be updated. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the app after changes are published constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
