Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 24, 2026

Vedanta Voice is a volunteer-built app and website designed to make teachings from the Ramakrishna-Vedanta tradition easier to listen to, study, and revisit across iOS, Android, and the web.

This page explains, in plain language, what information the app may handle and how it is used.

Information We Use

Vedanta Voice does not require users to create an account in order to browse and listen.

The app and website may handle limited technical information needed to function, such as:

  • app settings such as theme, playback preferences, and reading position
  • downloaded lectures or PDFs stored locally on your device for offline use
  • basic diagnostics, crash, or analytics information if enabled in the app build
  • requests to external media, RSS, image, and PDF hosting services when content is loaded

How Information Is Used

  • to stream or download lectures, books, and images
  • to remember playback state, reading position, favorites, and local preferences
  • to improve reliability, fix problems, and maintain the app and website

Vedanta Voice is intended to be a focused, ad-free experience. We do not sell personal information.

Third-Party Services and Links

Vedanta Voice may load or link to third-party services, including podcast feeds, image hosting, PDF hosting, donation pages, and app distribution platforms.

When you open those external resources, their own privacy policies and terms may apply.

Downloads and Local Storage

Lectures and books that you choose to download may be stored locally on your device so they remain available offline.

Reading position, playback position, and similar convenience features may also be stored locally on your device.

Children’s Privacy

Vedanta Voice is a general audience app and is not directed specifically to children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time as the app and website evolve. Updates will be posted on this page.
