Welcome to "Sanatan - Bhagawat Darshan" (hereinafter referred to as the "App"). This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.

- Virtual Aarti and puja experiences
- Dharmic knowledge, stories, and guidance drawn from traditional sources
Important Disclaimers about Content:
The content provided in the App is compiled from traditional dharmic books, publicly available scriptures, reputable sources, AI-assisted research, and online references for educational and inspirational purposes.
This App is NOT a complete or official edition of any religious scripture, Purana, Granth, or authoritative text. It contains selected portions and summaries that are commonly beneficial for general awareness and devotion.
We do not claim authenticity beyond the sources used. For complete study or ritual guidance, users are strongly encouraged to refer to original texts and consult qualified Acharyas, Gurus, or scholars.

You can grant or revoke this permission anytime from your device settings (Settings > Apps > Sanatan Bhagawat Darshan > Notifications).
Revoking this permission will stop push notifications but will not affect other App features.
We do NOT request or use any of the following permissions: Camera, Microphone, Location (GPS), Contacts, Phone, Storage (beyond normal app cache), or any other sensitive/"dangerous" permissions.
Third-Party Services & Automatic Data Collection
Although our App itself collects almost no personal data, we use trusted third-party services to provide free features and sustain the App through advertisements. These services may automatically collect limited technical and usage information:
- Google AdMob: Displaying ads to keep App free → Advertising ID, IP address, device type, app usage, interaction data. Google Privacy Policy
- OneSignal: Push notifications → Device token, advertising ID, IP address, app activity. OneSignal Privacy Policy

This data helps deliver relevant ads and reliable notifications. We do not have direct access to or control over this information.

We only share aggregated technical data with the third-party providers listed above.
