This Privacy Policy explains how Darshan News ("we", "us") тАФ our website darshan-news.com and our Android app "Darshan News" тАФ handles information when you use them.
Information we collect
We do not ask you to create an account or sign in to read news. We collect the following only to run the service:
- Device and app information: device identifiers, app version and Android version, used to deliver push notifications and keep the app working.
- Push notification data: if you allow notifications, a notification token is created by our notification provider (OneSignal) so we can send you news alerts.
- Usage data: basic information such as pages visited and article views, used to improve the site.
- Information you send us: if you submit news or contact us through the Contact / Send News form (name, phone, email, message), we use it only to respond to you or publish the news you sent.
How we use information
- To show news and operate the website and app.
- To send news notifications (you can turn these off any time in your phone's Settings > Apps > Darshan News > Notifications).
- To respond to your messages and to improve our content.
Third-party services
The app uses OneSignal (push notifications) and Google Firebase Cloud Messaging for delivering notifications. These services process limited device data under their own privacy policies: OneSignal and Google.
Data sharing and security
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers above, or if required by law. Our website is served over HTTPS.
Children
Our service is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Your choices
You can disable notifications at any time, or uninstall the app.
Data deletion
To request deletion of your data, email [email protected] from the address you used (subject: "Delete my data"). We delete the information you sent us (name, email, phone, messages) within 30 days. Notification data is removed when you uninstall the app or turn off notifications.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page.
