1. Introduction & Privacy Commitment

Naitik Shiksha (Website: https://naitikshiksha.samsuggest.com and our Android Application on Google Play Store) is a sacred, safe, and value-based educational platform for children, youth, parents, and educators.

We consider children's privacy and digital safety paramount. This policy articulates our strict zero-PII practices and transparent compliance frameworks.

2. Android Mobile App: Zero Data Collection

• No PII Collected: We do not ask for or collect names, ages, birthdays, addresses, schools, emails, or phone numbers.
• No Advertising ID (AD_ID): In compliance with Google Play Families Policy, com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID is explicitly stripped from the AndroidManifest.
• No Third-Party Trackers: The app bundles no analytics SDKs (Firebase Analytics, Facebook SDK, AppsFlyer) and no advertising networks.
• 100% Local Storage: Reading progress, favorite bookmarks, and avatar selections remain exclusively within the device's local Room database. No data is transmitted to remote servers.
• Parental Gate: All external web links and sharing portals are safeguarded behind an adult mathematical challenge (Parental Gate) to prevent accidental exits by minors.

3. Website, Cookies & Google AdSense Policy

Our website uses standard, non-invasive server log files and session cookies solely to ensure web security, combat DDoS threats, and maintain service stability:

A. Server Log Files

Like most websites, our servers record non-personal technical connection data such as browser type, operating system, referring URL, and timestamp of requested pages.

B. Cookies & Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

To support server maintenance and editorial creation, third-party advertising vendors such as Google AdSense may be utilized:

• Google DART Cookie: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site based on users' visits to this and other internet websites.
• Opt-Out Control: Users may opt out of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad & Content Network Privacy Policy.
• Tag For Child Directed Treatment (TFCD): On children's educational pages, ads are served with COPPA-compliant non-personalized flags.

4. User Rights (COPPA, GDPR-K & DPDP Act)

Regardless of your geographic location, you enjoy the following privacy guarantees:

• Data Deletion Right: Because mobile app data is never synced to external servers, uninstalling the app or selecting "Clear Data" in Android settings permanently purges all local records.
• Zero Profiling: We do not engage in behavioral profiling, tracking across applications, or data brokerage.

5. Declared Android App Permissions
