Privacy Policy – Pustakam

Last updated: 14 November 2026

Pustakam (“the App”) respects the privacy of all users. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding user information.

1. Owner & Contact Information

This app is operated by:

2. Information Collection and Use

No Personal Data Collection: The Pustakam app does not collect, store, or share any personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or location while you read the library. The only exception is the optional Help & Contact chat, described in section 3.

No Account Required: Users can access the digital library without creating an account or signing in.

No Tracking: We do not use any third-party tracking or analytics services in this version of the app. The only Firebase service used is Firebase Cloud Messaging, solely to deliver reply notifications of the Help & Contact chat (section 3).

3. Help & Contact chat (सहायता-चैट)

The app has a Help & Contact chat (More → Help & Contact → Chat). Using it is optional. If you write to us there, the following is kept on our own server (vaidikapps.com, hosted on a Hostinger VPS in India) so that we can read and answer you:

Pictures are deleted automatically after 90 days and messages after 2 years. We do not sell or share this information with any third party; it is used only to answer you. To have your chat data removed earlier, write to support@vaidikapps.com.

4. Data Security

Since the app collects no personal data while you read the library, there is no risk of your personal information being compromised through reading. Chat data (section 3) is kept on our own server.

5. Third-Party Links

The app is a digital library for ancient texts. It does not contain links to third-party websites or advertisements that collect user data.

Anonymous usage count

To know how many people use the App, it sends a small anonymous signal to our own server (vaidikapps.com) when it is opened and every two minutes while it is open. The signal contains only: the app name, a random number created inside the App (not linked to your name, email, phone number, account or device identifiers), the platform (Android / iPhone / web), the app version and the phone language.

Our server uses the connection's IP address only at that moment to find the country only (no state or city). The IP address itself is not stored. We see only totals (for example “India — 230 users”), never who a person is. This data is not sold or shared with anyone and is not used for advertising.

6. Children’s Privacy

This app is intended for educational purposes and is safe for all age groups. We do not knowingly collect any data from children.
