Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 5, 2026 · Last Updated: October 20, 2026

Ghar ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use the Ghar mobile application (the "App") or visit getghar.com (the "Website").

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the App.

Choose your platform

Ghar is operated by Colorblast LLC. The Android section describes the first Android release. The iPhone and Website sections retain the disclosures for those products, including older iPhone versions. References to Apple sign-in, iCloud, AppsFlyer and Apple account deletion apply to iPhone, not Android. Website processing and your applicable privacy rights apply whichever device you use.

Ghar for Android

You can use Ghar for Android without creating a Ghar account. Your household preferences and practice progress stay on your Android device. This release does not use Apple sign-in, synchronize with iPhone or iCloud, or share subscription access with the iPhone app.

Information you save on this device

You may save a household name, household member names and age groups, religious tradition and deity preferences, practice experience and reading preferences. Ghar also stores your language and appearance choices, selected calendar reference city, reminder settings, bookmarks, practice collections, completed practice and reading history, and preparation checklists.

This information supports the features you use within Ghar. It is not included in purchase-verification requests, and this Android release does not upload a household profile or practice-history database to a Ghar account server. Calendar cities are selected from the published references provided in the app. Ghar does not request Android location permission or retrieve your device's GPS position.

Reminders, widgets and audio

Reminders start off. If you enable them, Ghar requests Android notification permission when required and schedules reminders on this device. You can change them in Ghar or Android Settings; Android may delay delivery. The home screen widget keeps a limited local snapshot of the practice and observance text it displays. Background practice sounds are bundled audio played on the device.

Google Play purchases and verification

Where Android subscriptions are available, Google Play handles the purchase, billing account, payment method and renewal. Ghar does not receive your full payment-card number or bank-account details. The offer and billing terms shown by Google Play control the purchase; no price or trial is promised by this policy.

To check Premium access, the app may send its Android package name, Google Play purchase token, purchased product identifiers and a random request nonce to Ghar's verification service over HTTPS. The service uses Google's Play Developer API to check purchase status and expiry and returns an access result. Google receives the purchase token and package information as part of this check. Household names or members, religious preferences, selected city, bookmarks and practice or reading history are not included.

The verification implementation does not create customer accounts or keep purchase tokens or entitlement records in an application database. Technical connection information, such as an IP address, may be processed to operate and protect the service. Google's purchase and payment records remain subject to Google's Privacy Policy and applicable retention requirements.

Ghar's Android verification service runs on Google Cloud Run in the United States (Oregon, us-west1). Google Cloud processes connection and infrastructure metadata to deliver and secure the service. The app sends purchase tokens to Ghar in HTTPS request bodies, not URLs. Ghar's application logs exclude purchase tokens; the server forwards them to Google's authorized Play API for verification and acknowledgment. The dedicated project's log routing excludes these services' routine HTTP request logs. Short-lived abuse counters operate in server memory.

The dedicated project's retained diagnostic logs have a 30-day retention setting; required administrative and system audit logs have a 400-day setting. These are infrastructure records, not a stored practice-history or customer purchase-token database. These project settings do not establish a universal deletion deadline for Google's payment records or separately governed organization-level security records. Google and applicable legal requirements may control those records' retention. Contact us with a privacy request so we can identify the relevant data and provider rather than promise deletion of records we do not control.

App review access

Authorized app reviewers can enter a dedicated review code to inspect the content library without buying a subscription. The app sends the code, its package name and a random request nonce to the same service over HTTPS. The server compares a protected digest and returns a temporary review session. The code is not included in URLs or application logs; the app keeps the granted session in memory for up to one hour. Exiting review mode, restarting the app or deleting local data ends that session. Review access does not create a paid subscription or a customer account.

Analytics, links and support

This Android release has no Ghar analytics, attribution, advertising or crash-reporting SDK integration. It does not upload practice or reading events to a Ghar analytics endpoint. Google Play's own distribution and billing processes are separate from your local practice history.

Google Play Billing includes its own diagnostic transport. The bundled library sends billing-operation attempts and results (including checkout operations) and technical information to Google, including app/package and Billing library versions, Android version, device make/model and build information, memory capacity, network type, locale and timezone, and randomly generated billing-session or transaction identifiers. Its transport may temporarily queue diagnostic events on the device before sending them over HTTPS. This information supports operation and diagnosis of billing; it is separate from Ghar's household preferences and spiritual-practice history. Google's processing and retention are governed by its applicable privacy and service terms, and the Cloud Run project log settings above do not control these SDK records.

Opening a website or source link uses another app, such as your browser, and the destination's privacy practices apply. Visiting getghar.com is covered by the Website disclosure below. If you email support, the information you choose to send is processed to respond to your request. Please do not send passwords, purchase tokens or payment-card details.

Local storage, export and deletion

Ghar stores preferences and progress in Android app-private storage protected by the operating system's application sandbox. The app does not add its own encryption layer to those preference files. It requests that Android automatic backup and device transfer exclude this app data.

Use My Home > Settings & privacy > Export my data to save a copy in a destination you select. If you choose a cloud-backed document provider or share the exported file, that provider or recipient handles the copy. Ghar cannot remove separately exported or shared copies.

Your local data remains on the device until you remove it. Use My Home > Settings & privacy > Delete local data and confirm to remove the local profile, saved items, history, checklists, preferences, reminders and widget snapshot. Android's app-data controls are another way to remove this data. See the Android deletion instructions.

Deleting local data or uninstalling Ghar does not cancel a Google Play subscription or erase Google's transaction records. Manage cancellation in Google Play subscriptions. A valid purchase may be recognized again when restored with the purchasing Google Play account. Android subscriptions do not unlock the iPhone app or create a cross-account family subscription.

Household information and privacy requests

The person using Ghar enters and manages household-member information locally. This release does not create separate Ghar accounts for children or use household information for advertising. The applicable privacy rights described below also apply to Android users. Google payment records and subscription cancellation may require Google's own controls.

For Android privacy questions or deletion requests, email hello@getghar.com with the subject Ghar Android data deletion. You can also contact Colorblast LLC directly at amitg@colorblast.in. Tell us that you use Android and what information or request you mean. If needed to find a previous support exchange, include the email address you used and its approximate date. We normally verify the request through that existing email conversation. We do not ask for passwords, purchase tokens, card details, government ID or a practice-data export by default. If further verification is necessary, we will explain why and ask only for the minimum information needed.

We aim to acknowledge Android support and privacy requests within three business days and respond to privacy requests within one calendar month. If we cannot complete a request within that target, we will explain the reason and the applicable timeline before the target date. These response targets do not replace rights or deadlines that apply to a particular request.

For Android support, we normally remove correspondence and attachments within 90 days after the request closes, and honor a valid earlier deletion request. For privacy requests, we retain a minimal request and outcome record for 24 months after closure, not the full conversation or attachments, to document how the request was handled. A narrow legal obligation, security investigation or dispute may require retaining particular information longer; we limit that retention to the information and period needed and explain it where permitted.

This support-retention schedule applies to records within Ghar's control. Google billing, SDK diagnostic, infrastructure and email-provider records may have separate retention rules; we identify the relevant provider rather than promise that deleting a support message erases every provider record. You can delete local Android data without contacting support or canceling a subscription. See the Android deletion instructions.

iPhone and Website

The numbered sections below describe iPhone and Website processing. The Android section above governs Android-specific app data, billing and deletion. General privacy rights, contact information and policy-update terms apply to all users.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

When you use Ghar, you may enter or store the following information. In Ghar 1.1.7, core profile and practice data stays on this device and is not uploaded to a Ghar-operated account server. Household cloud sync is unavailable in this release.

1.2 Information Processed Automatically by the App

1.3 Website Visits

The Website uses Vercel Web Analytics for aggregated page-view statistics. Vercel may process the page path, filtered query parameters, referrer, approximate location, browser, operating system, and device type. Vercel Web Analytics does not use third-party cookies or give Ghar a persistent identifier that follows you across websites. A short-lived request hash used for aggregate visitor counting is discarded after 24 hours.

If you arrive from an identified referral source, a Website helper stores only a cleaned source label, landing path, referrer host, and timestamp in browser session storage and adds campaign parameters to App Store links. That session value stays in the browser tab session and is not joined to a Ghar app account.

1.4 Information We Do NOT Collect

2. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

4. Data Storage and Security

5. Attribution Retirement and App Tracking Transparency

Ghar 1.1.6 uses AppsFlyer for marketing attribution, campaign measurement, SKAdNetwork support, and product-interaction analytics. Apple may classify some attribution and campaign measurement as tracking when it measures activity across apps or websites. Where required, 1.1.6 may request permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework.

Ghar 1.1.7 removes the AppsFlyer SDK, does not submit attribution or product-interaction events to AppsFlyer, and does not request App Tracking Transparency permission for AppsFlyer. People who remain on 1.1.6 may still generate attribution data until they update or provider recording is disabled.

We do not show third-party ads in the App or sell personal information. Removing the integration or keeping the provider account open does not erase historical AppsFlyer data. Historical erasure and retention are handled through a verified provider request and are not represented as complete without provider evidence.

6. Third-Party Services

Ghar integrates with the following third-party services:

Ghar 1.1.7 does not integrate ad-serving, attribution, data-broker, or social-media tracking SDKs into the App. We do not share your personal data with any third party for their own marketing or advertising purposes.

7. Subscriptions and Payments

All subscription payments for the Premium plans currently presented in Ghar are processed by Apple through the App Store and StoreKit. Ghar 1.1.7 has no community or partner-code redemption program. We do not receive or store your payment information (credit card numbers, bank details, etc.). Subscription management, billing, eligibility, and refunds are handled through your Apple ID account. See Apple's subscription support for details.

8. Children's Privacy

Ghar is a family-oriented app. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and equivalent international regulations. Household profiles may include children's first names and ages to personalize family mode features. We do not:

All children's data is managed by the parent or guardian who controls the household profile and can modify or delete it at any time. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete that information promptly.

9. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

10. California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@getghar.com. We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days.

11. European Users (GDPR)

If you are located in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@getghar.com. We process verified requests within the time required by applicable law.

12. Data Retention

13. Account Deletion and Data Retention

You can initiate deletion of your Ghar account and associated app data from within the app by going to My Home > Settings > Account & Privacy > Data Controls > Delete Ghar Data.

For a signed-in account, the primary Ghar 1.1.7 deletion flow uses a fresh Sign in with Apple authorization to submit Apple token revocation to Ghar's deletion service. After the service accepts the request, the App attempts to save the opaque Apple-status receipt, deletes its local household profile, profile photos, saved practices, practice history, preferences, and local Ghar sign-in session, and removes any legacy encrypted Ghar iCloud snapshot it can locate. If secure receipt storage temporarily fails after acceptance, the App does not submit duplicate Apple work; it keeps the receipt in memory for a save retry, proceeds with verified local deletion, and warns that closing the App may lose local access to that proof. The service erases the Apple credential when revocation completes. If Apple instead requires action, automatic retries stop and the encrypted recovery material remains available only for verified manual recovery or handoff until the fixed job expiry, no later than 60 days after submission. Ghar 1.1.7 neither collects new AppsFlyer data nor sends an automatic AppsFlyer deletion request. Data AppsFlyer may have processed from version 1.1.6 or earlier requires the separate verified manual provider request and evidence process described on the delete-account page.

Deleting your Ghar account does not automatically cancel an App Store subscription billed by Apple. To manage or cancel your subscription, visit: https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions

If you no longer have access to the app, use our direct account deletion page: https://www.getghar.com/delete-account

14. International Data Transfers

Ghar is available globally. Apple, Vercel, and Formspree may process information in countries other than the one where you live, subject to their terms and applicable transfer safeguards. AppsFlyer may retain historical data processed from Ghar 1.1.6 or earlier in other countries under its applicable safeguards. Ghar does not operate a separate account database server for the core app data described in this policy.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Where required by law, we will provide notice of material changes before they take effect. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
