My GuruDev Events is an informational aggregator platform designed to help devotees track spiritual programs easily.

A. Information Compilation & Source

All information, event dates, timings, and venue details showcased in this Application are compiled and collected from free, publicly available resources, including religious books, internet archives, public forums, official announcements, and voluntary user comments/feedback. We actively track official public feeds to provide accurate dates.

B. Event Changes & Cancellation Policy (No Liability)

• Our Role is Informational Only: Our platform acts strictly as an information provider. We do not organize, manage, or host any of the listed katha, satsang, or spiritual events.

• No Control Over Changes: Any sudden change in schedule, timing modification, rescheduling, venue shift, or complete cancellation of an event is 100% decided and managed by the respective spiritual organization, ashram, or event management committee.

• Zero Liability: My GuruDev Events and its developers have absolutely no authority or hand in these scheduling changes or cancellations. We cannot be held responsible for any inconvenience, travel expenses, or issues caused due to changed or cancelled programs.

• Verification Recommended: We strongly advise all devotees to double-check and verify the event's live status through the official websites of the respective organizations or by contacting their official helpline numbers before making any travel plans.

Accuracy & Opinions Disclaimer: While we make every effort to display accurate and timely event schedules, please note that your opinion or findings may differ from the details displayed by us. We do not guarantee absolute 100% accuracy of the dates, times, or venues.

2. Information We Collect

To provide you with a seamless and interactive spiritual scheduling experience, our Application may utilize certain functionalities that interact with your device.

A. Automatically Collected Non-Personal & Device Data

• API Ingestion Details: We request data from the Google Blogger API to display event cards natively. This process does not collect or store any of your personal identity parameters.

• Device Information: We may collect generic network details, device model, operating system version, and standard logs/event information (via Firebase Services) purely to optimize app performance across various Android devices.

• Device Push Tokens: We collect device push tokens (FCM Tokens) to send you real-time alerts and notifications about events.

B. Personally Identifiable Information

The Application does NOT require users to register an account, and we do NOT collect any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, physical address, or phone number) during the normal use of this Application.

3. Permissions Used by the Application

To function properly and handle user-triggered integrations, the Application requires the following permissions on your device:

• Internet Access (INTERNET): Needed to fetch event details, blog updates, and communicate with Firebase and Blogger APIs.

• Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Needed to send push notifications and real-time katha alerts.

• Exact Alarms (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM & USE_EXACT_ALARM): Needed to set precise reminders and alerts for upcoming events.

• Google Maps & Navigation: When you click on the "Navigate to Venue" feature, the app passes coordinates or address texts to your native Google Maps application. We do NOT track or store your real-time GPS location on our servers.

• Google Calendar Reminders: When you use the "Add to Calendar" function, the app generates a temporary calendar event intent on your device. The app does NOT read your personal calendar entries or modify other existing events.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected and interacted information solely to:

• Display up-to-date schedule lists of various Hindu Kathas, Satsangs, and spiritual discourses.

• Provide one-click calendar reminders so you never miss an invitation.

• Provide hassle-free navigation maps to guide you safely to the event pandals.

• Send real-time push notifications regarding new event updates or urgent schedule shifts.

• Improve the visual layout, performance, and overall user experience of the mobile application.

5. Third-Party Services & APIs

The app relies on highly trusted, secure third-party services for its core operations. These services may collect information used to identify you. Below are the links to the independent privacy policies of the third-party service providers used by the Application:

• Google Play Services

• Google Blogger API v3 (Used strictly as a read-only database to load katha details dynamically)

• Google Maps API / External Map Intents

• Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)

6. Data Retention and Security

We value your trust in using our Application, and we implement industry-standard practices to ensure that any API interaction and data parsing are carried out safely.

Because the app does not feature user registrations, logins, or payment processing, your personal and financial details are never at risk of exposure. We do not store personal data on our own servers. Automatically collected device information and notification tokens are handled securely by Google Firebase services.

7. Children's Privacy

Our services are aimed at a general audience seeking spiritual guidance, and this Application does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so that we can take the necessary actions to remove it.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
