Privacy Policy
Introduction
Kesari Dainik ("we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the Kesari Dainik mobile app or website, why we collect it, how we use it, whom we share it with, and the choices you have regarding your personal data.
Data We Collect
We collect the following categories of data:
- Account & identity data: name, email address, phone number (if you provide it), profile preferences.
- Content & usage data: which editions or articles you view, bookmarks, reading preferences, search queries and app feature usage (e.g., opening issues, downloads).
- Device & technical data: device model, OS version, app version, unique device identifiers (advertising ID or similar), IP address, language, and telemetry necessary for performance and crash reporting.
- Support & communications: messages you send to support (including email content), and responses we provide.
- Payment data: we currently do not collect payment/card data because the App does not offer paid subscriptions. If you make purchases through third-party stores (e.g., Google Play), payment data is handled by the store and governed by their privacy policies.
How We Use Your Data
We use data for the following primary purposes:
- Provide and improve the Service: deliver e-paper editions, personalize content and features, and fix bugs.
- Analytics & product improvement: measure usage patterns and performance to optimize the app.
- Support & communications: respond to your inquiries and provide account related messages (e.g., password resets).
- Security & fraud prevention: detect abuse, protect our systems and our users.
- Legal compliance: comply with legal obligations and requests from law enforcement when required by law.
Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure. Measures include encrypted transmissions (HTTPS), access controls, and secure hosting. However, no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined (providing the Service, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and enforcement). When you request deletion, we will erase personal data subject to lawful exceptions and required retention (for example, regulatory recordkeeping).
Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:
- Access: request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: request correction of inaccurate data.
- Deletion: request deletion of your personal data (account deletion instructions below).
- Restriction & portability: where applicable, request restriction of processing or portability of your data.
- Objection: object to certain processing (e.g., direct marketing).
To exercise these rights, contact us at kesaridaily@gmail.com. For account deletion, see the Account Deletion section below.
Children
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 (or the age required by local law). If you believe we have collected a child's data without parental consent, please contact us and we will take steps to remove the information.
Third-Party SDKs, Analytics & Links
The App may contain SDKs or links operated by third parties (for analytics, CRMs, CDN or advertising). These third parties collect information under their own privacy policies. Examples include (but are not limited to):
- Analytics providers (aggregate usage statistics);
- Crash reporting & performance monitoring services;
- CDN and image hosting services;
- App store payment processors (e.g., Google Play) for any future purchases.
Please review third-party privacy policies; we are not responsible for their practices.
Account Deletion & Data Removal
If you want to remove your account and personal data, use our account deletion form at: Delete Account.
What we require: registered name, email used for the account, phone number (if provided) and password for verification. This helps prevent fraudulent deletion requests.
Requests are verified and typically processed within 3–7 business days. Some data may be retained to comply with legal obligations or to resolve disputes.
International / Cross-border Transfers
Your information may be processed or stored in servers located in other countries for operational purposes (hosting, analytics). Where required, we will implement safeguards to protect your information consistent with applicable privacy laws.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our practices or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy here with an updated "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will provide notice through the app or email where appropriate.
