Privacy Policy
- The app has no accounts or sign-in, and we do not ask for your name, email, phone number or contacts.
- The Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva Veda texts, their Hindi meanings and English translations are stored inside the app, so reading works without the internet.
- The app shows ads from Google AdMob. Google may collect device identifiers and usage data to show and measure those ads, as described below.
- We, Vasithwam, do not receive or sell your personal data.
1. Information the app handles on your device
Your reading position, bookmarks, favourites and settings are saved only on your phone and are never sent to us. Anything you search for in the app is used only to filter the content on your device.
2. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app is free and is supported by ads served by Google AdMob, which is part of Google LLC. To show ads, limit how often you see them, measure them and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK built into the app may collect:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Device identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID and app set ID | Advertising, measurement, fraud prevention |
| IP address, which can show your approximate location | Showing relevant ads, fraud prevention |
| Interactions with ads, such as views and taps | Advertising, analytics |
| Diagnostics, such as crash information and performance data from the ads SDK | Keeping the ads working |
This data goes directly to Google; the app's developer does not receive it. Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
On newer Android versions the ads SDK may also use Android's Privacy Sandbox ad services, which keep ad-related signals on your device.
3. Your choices
- Consent (EEA, UK and Switzerland): if you are in these regions, the app asks for your consent through Google's consent form before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time from the app's privacy settings.
- US state privacy rights: if you are in a US state with a privacy law, you can opt out of personalised advertising through the same in-app privacy options.
- Advertising ID: you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (the exact path depends on your phone).
- Uninstall: uninstalling the app removes everything it stored on your phone.
4. Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Internet and network state | To load ads. Reading works without the internet. |
| Notifications, run at start-up | Only if you turn on the optional daily mantra reminder; it is created on your phone and needs no data from us. |
| Advertising ID and ad services | Added by the Google Mobile Ads SDK for the purposes in the advertising section. |
The app does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, photos, files or location.
5. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the ads in this app, contact us and we will help you reach Google to have it removed.
6. Security and retention
Data sent by the ads SDK is encrypted in transit. We keep no personal data ourselves; data collected by Google is kept according to Google's policies.
7. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update this page and the effective date above.
