Welcome to Hanuman Chalisa ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to providing a pure, serene, and respectful devotional reading, Jaap counter, and listening experience for the Hanuman Chalisa, Dohas, Chaupais, and sacred videos.
We respect your privacy rights and do not sell, rent, or trade any personal information. You can read, chant, and listen to the Hanuman Chalisa without undergoing traditional registration or disclosing personal credentials like email addresses, phone numbers, or passwords.
We strictly follow data minimization principles. We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) directly from users.
- No Personal Registration Required: The app does not ask for your real name, home address, email address, or phone number.
- Anonymous Identifiers: The app utilizes an auto-generated random anonymous identifier assigned via Firebase Anonymous Authentication to securely maintain your devotional streak counter, preferred language, and app settings across app restarts.
- Aggregated Usage Analytics (Firebase Analytics): To help us identify which features devotees find most helpful (such as preferred reading language, Jaap Mala chanting sessions, hymn search queries, or audio loop preferences), the app collects anonymous, aggregated interaction metrics. No personal identity is ever attached to these analytics.
- Technical Diagnostics: Information such as device model, OS version, app crashes, and latency metrics are collected anonymously to maintain app quality.
Key Takeaway: Your devotional journey remains private. We do not collect or track your personal real-world identity.
Our application integrates official Google Firebase SDKs to ensure secure, reliable operation:
| Firebase Service |
Purpose |
Data Processed |
| Firebase Anonymous Auth |
Secures user state, reading streak, and preferences without requiring email/password. |
Anonymous User ID (UID) token. |
| Firebase Analytics |
Measures aggregated app usage, feature engagement (reading, audio loops, Jaap counter), and helps guide future quality enhancements. |
Pseudonymous App Instance ID, app event logs (screen views, feature taps, session durations), and basic device/OS specifications. No PII is collected. |
| Firebase App Check |
Verifies that requests originate strictly from authorized app builds to prevent fraud and backend abuse. |
Device integrity attestation tokens (SafetyNet / Play Integrity / DeviceCheck). |
| Firebase Crashlytics |
Monitors runtime stability, catches stack traces, and resolves unexpected bugs. |
Crash stack traces, device model, operating system version, and system state logs. |
To support ongoing development, app maintenance, and cloud server infrastructure, the Hanuman Chalisa app incorporates Google AdMob to display advertisements.
Google AdMob and its advertising partners may collect or receive certain information from your device when ads are displayed, including:
- Google Advertising Identifier (GAID on Android) or Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA on iOS).
- IP address (used solely for coarse geolocation for language-appropriate ads).
- Ad interaction data, impression count, and performance analytics.
Google uses these identifiers in accordance with the Google Advertising Policies and Google Privacy Policy. Users in applicable jurisdictions (such as the EU/EEA and California) will be prompted for consent preferences regarding personalized vs. non-personalized advertising.
The app stores non-sensitive user preferences locally on your device using encrypted/protected local storage key-value engines (such as Hive & Shared Preferences):
- Reading Preferences: Selected language (English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi), text font size multiplier, theme choice, and verse meaning visibility toggle.
- Devotional Streaks & Jaap Malas: Your daily Hanuman Chalisa streak count, weekly habit pattern, and completed Jaap beads/malas.
- Notification Settings: Scheduled daily prayer reminder times (stored locally on your device).
We prioritize the security of your data:
- All network communication between the app and Firebase backends uses encrypted Industry-Standard TLS/HTTPS protocols.
- Firebase App Check enforces strict token-based verification for backend access.
- We retain anonymous telemetry data only as long as necessary for performance debugging and analytics.
The Hanuman Chalisa app is a family-friendly devotional application suitable for users of all ages.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at nileshgajjan@gmail.com so we can take immediate corrective measures.
You maintain full control over your device and data:
- Resetting Advertising & Analytics ID: You can reset or opt out of personalized ads and app tracking at any time in your device Settings (Google Settings > Ads on Android, or Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking on iOS).
- Clearing Local Data: Uninstalling the app or clearing app data via OS Settings wipes all locally stored preferences, streaks, and favorites instantly.
