Hukam Privacy Policy

• Hukam shows no ads, and it never asks for permission to track you across other apps and websites.
• Nothing about you is ever sold.
• You can use everything in Hukam without creating an account.
• Your choices — colours, themes, app icon, reminder times — stay on your device.
• Two other companies are involved, and both are named below. One helps us count subscriptions. The other, from version 1.8, tells us whether our own ads for Hukam bring anyone to the app. Neither learns your name or your email address.
• We never use anything you do in Hukam to train any AI model.

Each day the app asks our server which Hukamnama was published. That request carries nothing about who you are beyond what any internet request includes — an IP address, handled by our hosting provider's standard infrastructure logs. The scripture itself ships inside the app; the server only names the day's reading.

The app sends two other things, each described in its own section below: a record of subscriptions, and, from version 1.8, the fact of an install or a purchase to the companies we advertise with.

Signing in is optional and adds nothing you need for daily use — it exists so future features can keep your saved lines across devices. If you choose Sign in with Apple, we store:

• an opaque user identifier issued by Apple, and
• the email address associated with it, which may be Apple's private relay address if you chose to hide yours.

That is the whole list. It is held by our authentication provider, Supabase, and used only to operate your account. You can delete your account inside the app — open Settings and scroll to the bottom for Delete Account — and deletion removes it from our systems.

Hukam Premium is billed by Apple through your Apple Account. We never see your payment details, and whether you have Premium is decided on your device from Apple's own record of what you bought, not by any server of ours.

To know how many people subscribe, we report completed purchases to RevenueCat, a subscription-analytics provider. What RevenueCat receives:

• the purchase record Apple issued — which plan, when, whether it is still active, and the country of your Apple Account;
• a random identifier for your installation of the app;
• if you are signed in, the same account identifier we use in our own database, so that a subscription can be matched to an account when you write to us for help; and
• a few facts about how the app is set up, held against that random identifier — or against your account identifier if you are signed in: how many Hukam widgets are on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, whether notifications are allowed, which Gurmukhi typeface is chosen, the answers given on the welcome screens and how far through them you went, and how often the Premium screen was opened, from where and for roughly how long, and which of its two designs you were shown. They tell us which parts of the app help and which get in the way.

RevenueCat is never given your name, your email address or your payment details. If you sign out or delete your account, your installation goes back to reporting under a random identifier only.

None of this decides what you can read. Every word of Gurbani in Hukam is free, and always will be.

Hukam shows no ads. We do advertise Hukam itself, on the App Store and on Facebook and Instagram, and an ad is only worth paying for if we can tell whether it brought anyone. So from version 1.8 the app tells two companies that an install or a purchase happened.

Meta. The app includes Meta's software kit for apps. It tells Meta:

• that the app was installed, and when it is opened;
• that a subscription was bought through the App Store — which plan, and its price;
• a random identifier the kit creates for your installation, the app's version, and basic details of the device such as its model, iOS version, language and time zone; and
• your IP address, as any internet request includes.

Meta is never given your name, your email address, or anything you read, save or choose in Hukam. Hukam does not ask for permission to track you, so Meta does not receive your device's advertising identifier, and the app switches its collection off outright. Separately, Apple sends Meta its own confirmation that an ad led to an install; that confirmation is built by Apple so that it does not identify you or your device. Meta handles what it receives under its own privacy policy.

Apple. When the app is first opened it asks Apple whether the install followed a tap on one of our App Store ads. Apple's answer names the campaign and the search term, never the person, and it is kept by RevenueCat against the random identifier described under Subscriptions. RevenueCat is also given the random identifier Meta's kit created, so that a subscription can be matched to the ad that led to it.

None of this is used to show you ads inside Hukam, because there are none.

Reminders carrying lines of the Hukamnama are scheduled locally on your device. They do not pass through our servers.

Hukam does not knowingly collect personal information from children. The only personal information it can hold at all is the optional sign-in described above.

If this policy changes, the new version will appear at this address with a new effective date.
