SHLOKA Privacy Policy Last updated: April 4, 2025 · Effective date: April 4, 2025

INTRODUCTION Shloka (“the App”) is a daily Bhagavad Gita verse app developed and operated by Hiten Sharma (“I”, “me”, “my”). This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the App, how it is used, and your rights in relation to it. By using Shloka, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
INFORMATION I COLLECT Account information: When you create an account, I collect your email address and optionally your display name. This is used to authenticate you and personalise your experience. App usage data stored locally: The following data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to any server: Your streak count (current and longest) The date you last opened the app Your preferred notification time

Journey data stored in the cloud: Your journey start date (the date you first opened the app) is stored in Firebase Firestore, linked to your account. This allows your verse progress to be preserved if you switch devices or reinstall the app. Subscription data: If you purchase a subscription or lifetime access, your purchase is processed by Google Play. I use RevenueCat to verify and manage your entitlement status. RevenueCat may receive your Google Play purchase token and a user identifier. I do not have access to your payment card details. Push notifications: If you grant notification permission, the App schedules a daily local notification on your device. This is processed entirely on-device; no notification tokens or device identifiers are sent to my servers. 3. INFORMATION I DO NOT COLLECT I do not collect any analytics or usage telemetry. I do not collect location data. I do not access your photos, camera, or microphone. I do not collect device identifiers for advertising purposes. I do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing.
