Good Indian Parent ("we", "our", or "the app") is built for parents who want to raise children rooted in Indian values and culture. This policy explains exactly what information the app uses, how it is stored, and what is never collected.
1. Information We Collect
We collect only what is necessary for the app to function. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with advertisers.
Photos you capture
When you use the Smriti memory feature, the app accesses your camera to capture moments from your child's spiritual journey (festivals, samskaras, daily practices). Photos are stored on your device. If you enable co-parent sync, photos are uploaded to secure cloud storage (Supabase) so both parents in your household can view the shared memory feed.
Voice reflections
The app can optionally transcribe spoken reflections into text for hands-free journaling. Speech recognition runs entirely on your device using Apple's on-device framework. Your voice and transcriptions are never transmitted to our servers or any third party.
Notification preferences
If you grant notification permission, the app schedules local reminders (practice streaks, festival reminders, monthly memory dispatches). These notifications are generated entirely on your device — no notification server or push backend is involved.
Subscription and purchase data
In-app subscriptions are processed by Apple or Google through their standard payment systems. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status. RevenueCat receives your anonymised purchase receipt; we never see your payment card details. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy for details.
App preferences and progress
Your streak data, mantra progress, samskara milestones, and app settings are stored locally on your device using your phone's secure storage. This data does not leave your device unless you explicitly use the co-parent sync feature.
2. What We Do Not Collect
✓ We do not collect location data.
✓ We do not use advertising SDKs or tracking pixels.
✓ We do not share data with third-party advertisers.
✓ Voice recordings never leave your device.
✓ Notifications are local — no push notification server is used.
3. Cloud Storage (Co-Parent Sync)
If you choose to enable co-parent sharing, Smriti photos are stored in a private cloud storage bucket on Supabase (supabase.com), a GDPR-compliant infrastructure provider. Photos are stored under a household identifier known only to your devices — your name, email, and identity are not linked to this storage. You can delete your synced photos at any time from within the app.
4. Children's Privacy
Good Indian Parent is designed for use by parents. The app does not directly collect any information from children. Content related to your child (photos, milestone notes) is entered solely by you, the parent, and is stored on your device under your control.
We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
5. Third-Party Services
The app integrates with the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:
- RevenueCat — subscription management. Privacy Policy
- Supabase — cloud storage for co-parent photo sync (only when enabled). Privacy Policy
- Apple App Store / Google Play — payment processing for subscriptions.
We do not integrate analytics, crash-reporting services, or advertising networks.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
All local data (streaks, preferences, photos) is deleted when you uninstall the app. If you used co-parent photo sync, you can delete your household's cloud photos by contacting us at the address below — we will delete all associated data within 30 days.
7. Security
Sensitive preferences are stored using your device's secure encrypted storage. Cloud-stored photos use access controls that restrict them to your household's devices only. We do not store passwords or financial information.
8. Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the effective date above and notify you within the app. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
