This Privacy Policy describes how Sukhmani Sahib — Treasure of Peace ("the App"), developed by Sikh Studio, collects, uses, and shares your information. Our mission is to provide a seamless spiritual experience while respecting your privacy.
1. About the App
Sukhmani Sahib is a free religious application that provides the sacred Sukhmani Sahib hymns along with Punjabi and English translations, transliterations, and audio recitation. The app is designed for spiritual growth and is suitable for all ages (4+).
2. Information We Collect
We prioritize your privacy and aim to collect as little information as possible:
No Personal Information: We do not collect any personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number. No account creation or login is required to use the App.
Local Preferences: Your app settings, including theme selection, font sizes, reading progress (Save Position), and notification preferences, are stored locally on your device only. This data is never transmitted to our servers.
Identifiers: We may collect non-personal identifiers such as your device's IDFA (Identifier for Advertising) or unique device identifiers for analytics and personalized ad delivery (subject to your consent).
3. Third-Party Services
We utilize trusted third-party tools to power certain features and support the ongoing development of the App:
Google AdMob: To keep the app free for everyone, we display advertisements. AdMob may collect device identifiers to serve relevant ads. Before accessing your IDFA, the App asks for your permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can manage this in your iOS Settings (Privacy & Security → Tracking).
Firebase (Google): We use Firebase for analytics to understand user trends and crash reporting to ensure the App remains stable and bug-free. Firebase Cloud Messaging is used to deliver spiritual updates if you have enabled notifications.

Media Ownership: The audio and images included in the App are sourced from freely available internet resources. We respect intellectual property rights. If you are the owner of any content used in this app and wish for its removal, please contact us immediately.
Background Audio: This app utilizes background audio functionality to allow uninterrupted listening of the Sukhmani Sahib recitation while your device is locked or when using other applications.
