Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

PathshalaX may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, age-confirmation details where required, and messages sent through forms or support requests.

2. How We Use Information

We use this information to respond to inquiries, provide access to content and services, improve the website and app experience, share important updates, and support users of PathshalaX.

3. Cookies and Analytics

The website may use cookies or analytics tools to understand traffic, improve performance, and enhance user experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

4. Advertising

PathshalaX may display advertisements to users who are not on a paid plan. Users with an active paid plan or subscription may receive an ad-free experience when their plan includes that benefit.

We use Google AdMob to serve advertising in the app. Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and process device-related and usage information, including device identifiers, advertising identifiers, approximate location based on IP address, app activity, ad activity, and diagnostic data. This information may be used to deliver ads, measure ad performance, detect and prevent fraud or abuse, improve ad quality, and keep advertising services reliable.

Ads in PathshalaX may be personalized or non-personalized based on your device settings, consent choices, location, and Google's advertising rules. Personalized ads may use information such as prior activity in apps or on websites. Non-personalized ads do not rely on your past behavior, but may still use limited information such as general location, device type, and identifiers for frequency limits, aggregated reporting, fraud prevention, and ad measurement.

You can manage or reset your Android Advertising ID in your device settings. On Android versions that support it, you may also delete your Advertising ID.

PathshalaX does not knowingly provide advertisers with sensitive personal topics, private questions, payment details, or private community content for ad targeting.

5. Third-Party Services

PathshalaX uses third-party services to operate, improve, and monetize the app. These services may include Google AdMob for advertising, Firebase or other Google services for analytics and app performance, payment providers for payment processing, and backend or cloud providers for core app functionality.

These providers may collect and process information under their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review Google's privacy policy and advertising policies to understand how Google uses information in connection with ads.

6. Sharing of Information

PathshalaX does not sell personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers only when needed to operate services, process payments, maintain app functionality, address safety issues, or comply with legal obligations.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect personal data. However, no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. Sensitive Topic Handling

Because PathshalaX covers sexual wellness, biology, behavior, and related topics, we aim to handle user data with additional care and use it only for legitimate service, safety, support, and legal purposes.

9. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as needed for operational, legal, safety, or record-keeping purposes, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

10. Your Choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable legal, safety, age-verification, and operational requirements.

11. Third-Party Links

This website may include links to third-party services. PathshalaX is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external websites.

12. Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Continued use of the website or app after updates indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
