Technical Dost Legal · Har Har Mahadev
Privacy Policy
This policy covers the iOS app हर हर महादेव / Har Har Mahadev
(bundle identifier com.harharmahadev.app). It is based on the shipping source reviewed
for this date.
The short version
- No account or login.
- No analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs found in the reviewed source.
- Your selected city, japa counters, and reminder preference stay on your device.
- Panchang and muhurat are computed on-device (SwiftAA); they are not fetched from our server.
- Photo Library access is requested only with add-only permission when you save a wallpaper.
Information handled on your device
Selected city (not GPS)
You pick a city from the app’s list for local sunrise/sunset and related timings. The chosen city
name is stored in UserDefaults on the device. The app does not request GPS location
permission in its Info.plist for this purpose.
Japa counters
Bead counts, malas, lifetime bead total, and sankalp target are stored locally with SwiftData on your device.
Onboarding and reminders
Whether you completed onboarding and whether vrat reminders are enabled are stored with
@AppStorage / UserDefaults. When reminders are on, the app schedules local
notifications with UNUserNotificationCenter on the device. There is no push-notification
server of ours in the reviewed code.
Photo Library (add only)
When you save a wallpaper, the app requests Photo Library add-only authorization
(PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization(for: .addOnly)) and writes the selected image into
your library. It does not read your existing photos for upload or analysis.
External links
Credits and source links (for example Wikimedia Commons or Sanskrit Wikisource) open in the system browser when you tap them. Those sites have their own privacy policies. The app does not attach your personal profile data to those links.
Voluntary support (donations)
If a donation flow is enabled, it is intended to open an external UPI app or web page outside the app. In the reviewed source, the UPI ID is a placeholder and the web donation URL is nil, so the donation route stays hidden until configured. The app does not process card payments or In-App Purchases for donations.
Audio
The codebase includes an audio player service capable of playing bundled files or HTTPS URLs, but current App Store materials for this product state that bundled audio was removed from the shipping release. This policy does not claim active cloud audio streaming for the live binary; if audio is re-added later, it would use the local/bundle or HTTPS path already described in code.
Purchases and advertising
The reviewed source has no StoreKit paywall and no AdMob/Firebase/analytics packages. All devotional features described for the free app remain free in source.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your choices
- Turn off vrat reminders in the app’s More screen or in iOS Settings.
- Revoke Photos permission in iOS Settings (wallpaper save will stop working).
- Uninstalling the app removes local japa counts and preferences. Wallpapers already saved to Photos remain until you delete them yourself.
