What the app does

Gita Scroll provides the Bhagavad Gita, translations and explanations. There is no email, phone or Google sign-in. Access normally requires a Google Play subscription. Content is delivered over the internet.

Information we process

• Guest identity and access: our server creates a random identifier and a secure session credential to verify access. We store a hash of the credential, the guest identifier and session dates. A reviewer access grant may also be stored.
• Purchases: Google Play and RevenueCat process purchase tokens, transaction and product identifiers, subscription status, dates and purchase history. RevenueCat also receives app, device, operating-system and network information needed to operate and secure its service. We do not receive your full payment-card or bank details.
• Local reading preferences: saved shlokas, language and reading position are stored on your device. Our content server does not store these preferences.
• Network and security: Cloudflare processes IP addresses and request information to deliver and protect the service. Our API uses IP addresses for short-term rate limiting. We do not use them to build advertising profiles.
• App analytics and diagnostics: through our Cloudflare backend we send Tinybird a pseudonymous guest identifier, session and event identifiers, app build, chosen language, screen and feature interactions, chapter and verse references for reading, meaning, save and share actions, foreground reading-duration summaries, preview and paywall interactions, checkout-attempt identifiers, purchase-flow outcomes and structured error codes. We do not send scripture text, payment receipts, advertising identifiers, your email address or raw error messages. This data is not used for advertising or sold.
• Support: if you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to provide. Please do not send passwords or full payment details.

Why we use it

We use this information to provide content, verify subscriptions, restore purchases, prevent abuse, respond to support requests and comply with applicable obligations. We also use pseudonymous analytics to understand how the app is used and to diagnose problems. The app does not display ads or include a third-party advertising SDK. We do not sell personal information.

Service providers

Cloudflare hosts our API and database. RevenueCat manages subscription verification. Tinybird stores app analytics in Frankfurt, Germany. Google Play processes Android purchases. They process data under their own applicable terms and privacy policies: Cloudflare, RevenueCat, Tinybird and Google. Our website is hosted through OpenAI Sites and its hosting providers, which process ordinary network requests to deliver these pages. We do not add advertising cookies or website analytics.

Retention and security

Traffic between the app and our services uses HTTPS. Session records expire after 90 days without an authenticated request and are removed during subsequent session creation. Purchase records may remain with the billing providers until deletion or as required for transactions, fraud prevention or legal obligations. Support correspondence is retained as needed to resolve requests and meet legal obligations. Raw analytics events are configured to expire after 90 days. Local preferences remain until you erase app data or uninstall.

Your choices and deletion

Use Settings → Delete app data to request removal of our guest record and the associated RevenueCat customer profile, queue deletion of analytics for that guest profile (new analytics for it is blocked immediately), and erase local preferences. If the service cannot complete removal, the app shows an error so you can retry. You can also request deletion by email. Google may independently retain transaction records. Restoring purchases or continuing to use the app can create a new guest profile.

Deleting data or uninstalling does not cancel a subscription. Cancel through Google Play to stop future charges.

You may contact us to request access, correction or deletion, or exercise other rights available under your local law. Data may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States.

Children

Gita Scroll is intended for readers aged 13 and above and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can address it.

Changes

We may update this policy as the service changes. The effective date above identifies the latest version.
