Privacy Policy - Diwali 360
Welcome to Diwali 360 ("Application", "we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a safe and joyful festive experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application.
Short Summary: Diwali 360 does not collect, store, or sell any of your personally identifiable information (PII) or sensitive personal data. All your photo edits and festive greeting creations are processed safely on your device or via secure temporary requests without permanent storage on our servers.
1. Information We Collect
We believe in minimal data collection. When you use our application, we may interact with the following types of information:
- User-Selected Photos & Images: When you use our AI Photo Studio, Greeting Card Maker, or Business Poster Creator, you may choose an image from your device via the Android System Photo Picker or capture a photo using your camera. These images are used exclusively in real-time to generate your festive greetings and are saved only to your local device storage. We do not collect, upload, or store your personal photos on our private servers.
- Device and Usage Information (Non-Personal): Technical information such as your device model, operating system version, anonymous unique device identifiers, language settings, and general network state to ensure smooth app performance and compatibility.
- Crash & Performance Data: Anonymized diagnostic logs to identify and fix technical glitches and optimize application performance.

We use the collected information strictly for:
- Providing and delivering core festive features (AI photo greetings, countdowns, festive calendar, recipe viewer, digital diya, firecracker simulation, and business posters).
- Displaying advertisements that support free access to all application features.
- Maintaining and improving app stability, fixing bugs, and enhancing user experience.
- Checking for app version updates through Firebase Cloud Firestore.
3. Third-Party Services & Advertising
