Using the app sends requests to the service providers listed in section 7, and like any internet service, they receive your device's IP address. Our subscription provider also receives basic device and app information, such as your operating-system version, app version and App Store country, to determine your subscription status. The app loads its fonts from Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address when the fonts are fetched.Kept on your device only. Your reading positions, display settings, cached scripture text and the app's error diagnostics are stored on your device and are not sent to us.4. Location (optional)Chardi Kala works fully without location. Location is requested only when you choose one of the two features below, and you can decline the permission.• Groups near you. If you turn this on, your approximate position is compared with groups' locations on your device to sort them by distance. Your position is not sent to us for this feature. Once you have allowed it, the app checks your approximate position when you open Groups, to keep the list current.• Adding a location to a group you create or manage. If you choose to add your approximate location, it is reduced to about 1 km and uploaded, then stored with the group. Members who can see the group can see roughly how far away it is, along with the location label you type. You can remove the location from the group's settings at any time.The app reads your location only while it is open, one reading at a time. It does not track your location continuously or in the background. You can avoid location collection entirely by not using these features, and you can turn location off at any time in your device's settings.5. How we use informationWe use information to:• create and maintain your account and let you sign in• show your profile, posts and comments to other members• run groups, including "Groups near you"• save your journal, reflections and learning progress, and restore them on another device• send the notifications you have turned on• provide and check your Premium subscription• keep the community safe: handling reports, blocks, hidden content and appeals• respond to support and deletion requests• maintain, secure and fix the serviceUsernames and group names are checked against our community rules, and reported content may be hidden and reviewed.We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising.

What other members can seeVisible to other members: your username, bio, profile photo, posts and comments. Your likes count towards the like totals that members see. Members of a group can see who else belongs to it. Posts in a group are shown to that group's members, and in a public group other members may also be able to see them. A group's name, description and location label are shown to members who can see the group. If a group has an approximate location, members using "Groups near you" see roughly how far away it is.Profile photos: your photo is stored at a web address that the app uses to show it to other members. Anyone who has that address can view the image.Not shown to other members:• your email address• your journal and reflections• your subscription status• your push token• the people you block• the reports and appeals you submitReports, appeals and hidden content are reviewed by Chardi Kala's administrators for moderation.

The group's own details, including any approximate location, belong to the group and remain.Two things are kept on purpose:• Reports you made about other people's content. These belong to the moderation record of the person reported, so the report stays, with your identity removed from it. Reports about your own content are deleted along with that content.• Your purchase records at Apple and RevenueCat, which we do not control.Deletion may not be immediate everywhere: copies can persist for a short time in our providers' systems, such as backups, and we may keep information where the law requires it.To ask us about information we still hold, email [email protected].Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription. Cancel it in your Apple ID settings.10. SecurityWe use access controls so that each account can reach only the information it should, and we rely on established providers to store it. No method of storing or sending information is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.11. ChildrenChardi Kala is not intended for children under 13. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use account-based features.
