At Hindu Prayer Lock, your privacy is sacred to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the Hindu Prayer Lock mobile application ("the App"). We are committed to transparency and have designed this app with your privacy as a core principle from the very beginning.
By using Hindu Prayer Lock, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, please contact us at support@hinduprayerlock.com.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information We Do NOT Collect
Hindu Prayer Lock is designed to function entirely on your device without requiring any personal information. We do not collect:
- Your name, email address, phone number, or any contact details
- Your precise or approximate location
- Your device contacts, photos, or media files
- Financial or payment information
- Any biometric data
- Login credentials or account information (no account is required)
1.2 Information Stored Locally on Your Device
The following preferences are stored only on your device using Android's local storage. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to us:
- Language preference — the language you select for content display
- Deity selection — your chosen deity for personalised content
- App settings — lock screen mode status, display preferences
- Usage tracker data — for optional features like exit-intent prompts (stored locally, never shared)
1.3 Automatically Collected Technical Data (Anonymous)
The App may collect anonymous, aggregated analytics data through Google Play Services which is governed by Google's own Privacy Policy. This may include:
- App crashes and error reports (anonymous, no personal data attached)
- General app performance metrics
This data contains no personally identifiable information and is used solely to improve app stability and performance.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information stored on your device exclusively to:
- Display your preferred language and deity-specific spiritual content
- Remember your settings between app sessions
- Enable the lock screen devotion feature
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose.
3. Permissions Explained
Hindu Prayer Lock requests the following Android permissions, each with a clear purpose:
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW (Display Over Other Apps)
This permission is required to display devotional content on your Android lock screen. Without this permission, the core lock screen devotion feature cannot function. This permission is only used to show spiritual content at lock-screen time — it is not used to overlay ads, monitor your activity, or collect any data.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
This allows the app's lock screen service to restart automatically when you reboot your device, ensuring uninterrupted devotional experience. No personal data is accessed during this process.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE
Used to maintain the lock screen service running in the background. This is a standard Android permission for apps that need to perform background operations (like displaying lock screen content).
We do not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, location, or any other sensitive permissions beyond what is listed above.
4. Third-Party Services
Hindu Prayer Lock is a self-contained app. We do not integrate with third-party analytics services (other than the anonymous Google Play crash reporting mentioned above), advertising networks, or social media platforms.
The app does not contain advertisements. We do not partner with advertisers or data brokers.
5. Data Security
Because Hindu Prayer Lock does not collect or transmit personal data, there is no personal data on our servers to protect. All your preferences and settings remain on your device, protected by Android's built-in security model. We encourage you to use a secure device lock (PIN, fingerprint, or pattern) to protect your device's stored data.
6. Children's Privacy
Hindu Prayer Lock does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. The app is suitable for all ages as a spiritual and cultural tool. Since no personal data is collected, the app is safe for family use. If you are a parent or guardian with concerns, please contact us at support@hinduprayerlock.com.
7. Your Rights
Because we do not collect personal data, your rights to data access, correction, portability, or deletion are satisfied by the fact that all your preferences are stored locally on your device and can be cleared by:
- Uninstalling the app (removes all local data)
- Clearing app data via Android Settings → Apps → Hindu Prayer Lock → Clear Data
If you believe we hold any personal data about you (which would be exceptional), you may request information or deletion by emailing us at support@hinduprayerlock.com.
8. Contact Us

We aim to respond to all privacy-related queries within 5 business days.
9. Terms of Use

The spiritual content within the app — including mantras, aartis, and chalisas — is provided for devotional and educational purposes and remains the intellectual property of their respective traditional sources.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app's features or applicable law. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will provide notice within the app. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
