Effective Date: June 19, 2026
Welcome to Gurbodh, developed and operated by ohlengr.com ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure, distraction-free spiritual experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use the Gurbodh mobile application.
1. Information We Do Not Collect Gurbodh is designed to respect your privacy and spiritual journey. Currently, we do not require you to create an account to read or listen to Gurbani. We do not track your specific reading habits, daily prayer routines, or geographic location. All of your app preferences (such as Dark Mode toggles, language selections, and Gurmukhi font sizes) are saved locally on your device and are never transmitted to our servers.
2. Information You Provide to Us The only personal information we actively collect is the information you voluntarily provide if you choose to reach out to us for support. If you use the "Contact Us" feature to send an email, we will receive your:
-
Name
-
Email Address
-
The content of your message
3. AI Features and Search Queries Gurbodh is an evolving platform that integrates modern technology to aid in spiritual learning. As we introduce AI-powered features (such as semantic search, interactive Teeka, and smart pronunciation tools):
-
Anonymized Processing: Text queries or search terms you enter into the app may be securely processed by our servers or third-party AI service providers to return the correct Shabad or explanation.
-
No Profiling: These search queries are processed anonymously and are not tied to your personal identity, device ID, or email address. We do not build psychological or spiritual profiles of our users.
4. How We Use Your Information Any information we do collect (such as support emails or anonymous search data) is used strictly to:
-
Provide, maintain, and improve the Gurbodh app functionality.
-
Respond to your questions, bug reports, or feedback.
-
Train and optimize our search algorithms to provide better, more accurate Gurbani translations and contextual explanations.
5. Third-Party Services Our app relies on standard mobile frameworks (like React Native and Expo) and external audio sources (like live radio streams from Sri Darbar Sahib). Furthermore, future AI features may rely on secure, third-party language processing APIs. These underlying technologies may collect basic, anonymized crash reports or technical device data governed by their respective privacy policies. We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third-party advertisers or marketers.
6. Data Security We take reasonable, industry-standard measures to protect any data associated with the app. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as we add new features (such as user accounts or personalized AI histories). Any changes will be posted on this page, and the "Effective Date" at the top will be updated accordingly.
