VedicVibe Privacy Policy

At Deep Active Mind, we believe spiritual practice is deeply personal. VedicVibe is designed with a "Privacy First" philosophy to ensure your data remains your own.

1. Data Collection Summary

• Privacy-First Ads: We show ads (via Google AdMob) to keep VedicVibe free, but we never sell your personal data or share your spiritual practice with advertisers.
• Minimal Data: We only collect what the app genuinely needs to work (e.g., your spiritual progress if you choose to sync it).
• Location Privacy: Your city/GPS data is used locally on your device for accurate Panchang (sunrise/muhurta) calculations and is never stored on our servers.

2. How We Use Information

We use your information exclusively to provide the VedicVibe service, including maintaining your mantra counts, calculating cosmic timings for your specific location, and facilitating AI spiritual guidance via Google Gemini.

3. Third-Party Services

VedicVibe uses trusted partners for essential functions:

• Firebase: For secure authentication and progress syncing.
• RevenueCat: For managing premium subscriptions.
• Google Gemini: To power the "Ask Krishna" AI guidance feature.
• Google AdMob: To display ads that keep the app free. Collects your device advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS / Advertising ID on Android).

4. Advertising & Your Choices

VedicVibe displays ads through Google AdMob to keep the app free to use. To serve ads, AdMob collects your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Advertising ID on Android) and basic ad-interaction data, and shares it with Google as an advertising partner.

You are in control. On iOS, we ask your permission before enabling personalized ads (Apple's App Tracking Transparency); if you decline, you will still see ads, but non-personalized ones. On Android, you can reset or delete your Advertising ID at any time in your device settings. We never sell your spiritual practice data, mantra counts, or personal account information to advertisers. Google's use of advertising data is governed by Google's Privacy & Terms.

5. Your Control

You can use VedicVibe anonymously. If you choose to create an account, you can delete it and all associated data at any time from within the app settings.
