Privacy Policy - Arham Dhyan Yoga
Last Updated: May 4, 2026
Arham Dhyan Yoga ("we", "our", or "us") operates the Arham Dhyan Yoga mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our App.
1. Information We Collect
a) Automatically Collected Information
When you use the App, we automatically collect certain information, including:
- Anonymous User Identifier: We use Firebase Anonymous Authentication to assign a unique identifier to your device. This does not require you to create an account, provide a name, email, or password.
- Usage Analytics: We use Firebase Analytics to collect information about how you interact with the App, including screens viewed, playlists opened, videos watched, and meditation sessions completed.
- Device Information: We may collect device type, operating system version, and device identifiers for analytics and troubleshooting purposes.
b) Information You Provide
The App does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information. No personal data such as name, email address, phone number, or password is collected or stored by the App.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- App Functionality: To deliver meditation videos, knowledge bytes playlists, and track your meditation progress.
- Analytics and Improvements: To understand how users interact with the App, identify popular content, and improve the user experience.
- Push Notifications: To send you reminders and updates about meditation sessions via Firebase Cloud Messaging. You can disable notifications in your device settings at any time.
- Progress Tracking: To record your meditation session count and content consumption so you can view your journey within the App.
3. Analytics Events We Track
We track the following events through Firebase Analytics to improve the App experience:
- App launches
- Screen views (Home, Knowledge Bytes, Meditations, Progress, Profile)
- Meditation video play, pause, and completion
- Playlist loading and opening
- Video watched events
- Profile updates
These analytics events do not contain personally identifiable information. They are associated with anonymous user identifiers only.
4. Third-Party Services
The App uses the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:
5. Data Storage and Security
The App does not store any personal user data on our servers. The only data stored is:
- On your device: Local preferences (such as onboarding completion status) are stored on your device using standard platform storage. This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the App.
- Firebase Analytics: Anonymous, aggregated usage data is stored by Google Firebase. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.
- All network communication between the App and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS.
6. Data Retention
Since the App does not collect or store any personal user data, there is no personal data retained on our servers. Specifically:
- Anonymous identifiers: Firebase anonymous authentication tokens are managed by Google Firebase and are automatically invalidated when you uninstall the App or clear its data.
- Analytics data: Aggregated, non-identifying analytics data is retained by Firebase Analytics for up to 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. This data cannot be traced back to any individual user.
- Local device data: Preferences stored on your device are automatically deleted when you uninstall the App.
7. Data Deletion
As the App does not store personal user data, you can remove all App-related data from your device at any time by:
- Uninstalling the App: This removes all locally stored preferences and cached data from your device.
- Clearing App data: Go to your device Settings > Apps > Arham Dhyan Yoga > Storage > Clear Data. This removes all local data without uninstalling the App.
If you believe any data associated with your usage still exists and you would like it removed, you can contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
8. Cookies
The App does not use cookies. However, third-party services integrated into the App (such as Firebase) may use their own tracking technologies.
9. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to outside parties. Information may be shared only in the following circumstances:
- With trusted service providers who assist in operating the App, under strict confidentiality agreements.
- When required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
- Aggregated, non-identifying analytics data may be used for improving our services.
10. Children's Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us so we can promptly remove it.
11. Permissions
The App may request the following device permissions:
- Internet Access: Required for streaming video content and syncing your progress.
- Camera and Photo Library: Only used if you choose to upload a profile picture. This is optional.
- Network State: To check connectivity before loading content.
12. Your Choices
- The App does not require any personal information. It works with anonymous authentication by default.
- You can disable push notifications through your device settings.
- You can delete all App data by uninstalling the App or clearing its data from your device settings.
- You can contact us at [email protected] to request deletion of any data associated with your usage.
13. Third-Party Links
The App may contain links to external websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
