3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

Contractual necessity — to process and fulfill your in-app purchases and subscriptions, verify purchase receipts, and deliver premium content or features you have paid for
Legitimate interests — to improve app performance, conduct analytics, fix bugs, detect fraud, and ensure security, where these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights
Consent — to serve personalized advertisements and use advertising identifiers. You may withdraw your consent at any time (see Section 10)
Legal obligation — to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes

4. How We Use Information

We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:

Processing purchases — to verify, process, and fulfill in-app purchases and subscriptions
Delivering premium content — to unlock and provide features, items, or content you have purchased
Managing subscriptions — to manage subscription status, handle renewals, expirations, and cancellations
Purchase verification — to validate purchase receipts with Google Play or Apple to prevent fraud
Improving app performance — to monitor, maintain, and improve the functionality and stability of the App

5. Third-Party Services

The App uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. These services have their own privacy policies. Depending on the application, we may use one or more of the following:

Payment & Purchase Processing:
Google Play Billing (Privacy Policy) — processes all in-app purchases and subscriptions on Android devices
Apple StoreKit / App Store (Privacy Policy) — processes all in-app purchases and subscriptions on iOS devices

Analytics & Crash Reporting:
Firebase Analytics (Privacy Policy) — for understanding app usage and user behavior
Firebase Crashlytics (Privacy Policy) — for crash reporting and diagnostics

Advertising:
Google AdMob (Privacy Policy) — for serving advertisements within the App

Platform Services:
Google Play Services (Privacy Policy)
Apple App Store (Privacy Policy)

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party service providers to understand how they handle your data.

6. Advertising

The App may display advertisements provided by third-party ad networks, including Google AdMob. These ad networks may use advertising identifiers, cookies, and similar technologies to serve personalized advertisements based on your interests and browsing behavior.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings:

Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization
iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → disable "Allow Apps to Request to Track"

Opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to you. Some in-app purchases may offer an ad-free experience.

7. In-App Purchases & Subscriptions

Our Apps may offer the following types of in-app purchases:

One-time purchases — unlock features, items, or content permanently
Consumable purchases — virtual items or credits that can be used and repurchased
Auto-renewable subscriptions — recurring plans that provide ongoing access to premium features or content

Subscription Auto-Renewal:
Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (weekly, monthly, or annually, depending on the plan) unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Google Play or Apple account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions through:

Android: Google Play Store → Menu → Subscriptions
iOS: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions

Free Trials:
Some subscriptions may include a free trial period. If you do not cancel before the free trial ends, you will be automatically charged for the subscription. Any unused portion of a free trial period will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Refunds:
All purchases are processed by Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Refund requests are subject to their respective refund policies. To request a refund, please contact the respective store directly or reach out to us for assistance.

8. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

Service providers — with third-party service providers who assist us in operating the App (analytics, crash reporting, advertising), subject to confidentiality obligations
Payment processors — purchase transaction data is shared with Google Play or Apple for payment processing and receipt verification
Legal requirements — when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
Protection of rights — to protect the rights, property, or safety of Rahika Apps, our users, or the public
Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including India, the United States, and other countries where our third-party service providers (such as Google and Apple) operate. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or reliance on adequacy decisions where applicable.

12. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction — for example, under 16 in certain EU member states). If we become aware that personal information from a child has been collected without appropriate parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information as soon as possible.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information or made an unauthorized in-app purchase, please contact us at radhika1995apps@gmail.com so that appropriate action can be taken.

This policy is compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the EU Age Appropriate Design Code where applicable.

13. Security

We value your trust and strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information. All purchase transactions are processed securely by Google Play and Apple using industry-standard encryption. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers and devices offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. As there is no common industry standard for DNT signals, our App does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can opt out of personalized advertising through your device settings as described in Section 6.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
