Privacy Policy

Android version. Version of 11 October 2026

The Bhagavad Gita app for Android does not collect, share or store any personal data. None at all.

What the app does not do

• it does not require registration and creates no accounts;
• it does not ask for your name, email, phone number or any other information about you;
• it contains no advertising and no advertising networks, and does not use the advertising ID;
• it uses no analytics, no tracking and no crash reporting;
• it does not send your data to the developer, advertising services or analytics services.

What is kept on your device

So that you can continue where you stopped, the app remembers a few technical values: the chapter number, the position in the recording, the paragraph number, and your chosen book language, theme, type size and playback speed.

The app stores these values locally on your device and does not itself send them to the developer or to servers operated by the developer. The developer has no remote access to your preferences or your place in the book.

Android system backup

Depending on your device settings, Android may include the app’s preferences and your place in the book in a system backup or transfer them to another device. A backup may remain after the app is uninstalled, and the data may be restored when you reinstall it. This feature is controlled by the operating system and your backup settings. Backups are handled under the policies of the relevant system service provider; the app developer has no access to them.

Internet

The text of the book is inside the app. The app itself uses the internet to receive narration through Google Play Asset Delivery. It has no servers operated by the developer. Android system backup, described above, operates separately and depends on your device settings.

Once downloaded, the recording stays on your device, and the app works without a connection.

Permissions

The app asks only for what the book needs in order to be heard: internet access, to receive the recording, and running in the background, so the recording keeps playing when the screen is off. The app has no access to your contacts, photos, microphone, camera or location.

Children

The app is not made specifically for children, and it collects data about no one, children included.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new date.
