Privacy Policy

Welcome to Raag & Rhythm. We operate the mobile applications My Tanpura, Tanpura & Tabla, and Tanpura & Talam (collectively referred to as the "Service" or "Apps").

Your privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect (or do not collect), how we use it, and the steps we take to ensure your personal information remains secure while practicing Indian classical music.

1. Information Collection and Use

Our Apps are designed to operate primarily offline and provide instrument and accompaniment sounds for your practice. We believe in absolute data privacy, which means:

• No Personal Information: We do not collect, request, or store any personal identifiers such as your name, email address, phone number, physical address, or contacts.
• No Account Required: You do not need to create an account or sign in to use any features of our Apps.
• Local Storage only: All your custom sound settings, configurations, and theme selections are stored locally on your own device. This data never leaves your device.

2. Diagnostics and Crash Reporting

To help us improve the performance and reliability of the Apps, we may collect anonymous, non-personal diagnostic data when a crash or error occurs. This is handled through standard third-party services:

• Firebase Crashlytics & Analytics: Collects completely anonymous logs regarding application crashes, device model, operating system version, and general usage statistics to help us debug audio playback issues. No personal data is attached to these reports.

3. Advertising and Ad Networks (Mediation)

To support the free features of our Apps, we may serve advertisements using third-party mobile advertising platforms. Specifically, we use the AppLovin MAX mediation platform, which dynamically connects with multiple premium ad networks (including Google AdMob, Unity Ads, and Meta Audience Network) to display engaging, interactive ads (such as playable ads and video rewards).

These advertising partners may collect and use certain non-personal device information to deliver relevant ads to you:

• Device Identifiers: Apple's IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) on iOS devices (subject to your explicit App Tracking Transparency permission) and Android's Google Advertising ID on Android devices.
• Technical Data: Device brand and model, operating system version, IP address (for general country/region location), and language settings.
• Ad Interaction Data: Information about which ads were shown to you, whether you tapped or interacted with them, and whether you downloaded the advertised application.

5. Children's Privacy

Our Apps are purely musical instrument utilities meant for students and practitioners of Indian classical music. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13, and our Apps are safe for users of all ages.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top.
