Your information.
Your choices.

Privacy Policy for Sehaj Path on iPhone, iPad and Android. This page explains what information is used, who receives it, and how you can control it.

Last updated:

1. Who we are

Antisoft India Technologies operates Sehaj Path (“we”, “us” or “our”). The app provides Gurbani reading, audio streams, bookmarks, prayers, calendars, quizzes, reading routines and optional account and AI features.

This policy covers our app and related Sehaj Path backend services. The app identifier is antisoft.livesehajpath. For privacy questions, contact support@antisoftindia.com.

2. Information we use

Reading and device preferences

Bookmarks, reading position, quiz progress, theme, language, reminders, cached content and consent preferences are stored on your device. If you use a profile, your reading streak is also sent to our server for syncing and the leaderboard.

Account and profile

We process the phone identifier and PIN you enter to register or restore an account. Profile information can include a display name, city, country, gender and optional date of birth, along with a device/app identifier and streak dates. These details are stored on our server for the account features.

AI and support messages

Questions and recent conversation may be stored locally on your device and temporarily on our server to provide the AI and support features. Server chat records are automatically deleted after five days. The device copy remains until you clear it or remove app data. AI requests can also include relevant Gurbani or Hukamnama source text.

Usage and technical information

Firebase Analytics receives screen/activity events and app-instance information to help us understand app use and improve Sehaj Path. Network services also receive technical information such as IP addresses, request times and error/security information when you connect. The separate online-presence ping has been retired.

Public leaderboard: leaderboard results include display name, city, country, gender and streak. Other people can receive this information through the leaderboard service. Phone identifiers, PINs, dates of birth and private chat messages are not included in that public leaderboard response. Avoid using information you do not want made public in your display name.

When you contact support or send a report, we receive the email address you use, your message and any attachments you choose to send. An in-app report opens an email draft; you choose whether to send it. Reporting an AI answer can include the selected answer shown in the report preview.

3. AI conversations and your permission

Before remote AI processing, the app asks you to allow sharing with Google Gemini or DeepSeek through our server. The question, recent conversation and relevant source context may be sent to either provider; a fallback request can send that content to another provider if the first does not return a usable answer. Anything personal you type into a message may therefore be included.

The login PIN is not added automatically to an AI prompt. Please do not type passwords, financial information, private medical details or other sensitive information into AI chat. Religious questions can reveal personal beliefs; share only what you are comfortable sending to these services.

Provider handling depends on the service and account terms. Google's Gemini API terms distinguish paid and unpaid processing, including different provisions for service improvement and human review. DeepSeek describes its own processing, service-improvement and retention practices. We do not promise that every provider deletes a request immediately or that all requests are excluded from model improvement.

Read the Gemini API data-use terms, Google Privacy Policy and DeepSeek Privacy Policy before choosing to share.

You can turn off Settings → AI data sharing to stop new AI sharing from the app. This does not recall requests already sent or delete existing conversations. Use account deletion or contact us for stored-data requests. AI output can be inaccurate; the report option lets you raise concerns with support.

4. Advertising and analytics

Google AdMob

Banner ads help support the app. Google AdMob may process IP addresses, device/app identifiers, ad interactions and diagnostic information for ad delivery, measurement, security and fraud prevention. The app requests non-personalized ads; this does not mean that no data is processed.

Ad requests are gated by Google's consent-management eligibility. Where required, a consent form or Settings → Ad privacy choices is provided. Device-level permissions and privacy settings may provide additional controls. Consent to AI or optional usage analytics does not itself authorize advertising tracking. Use Settings → Report an inappropriate ad to contact us about an ad.

Usage analytics

Firebase Analytics receives screen/activity events and app-instance information to help us understand use and improve the app. These events are not described as completely anonymous. The separate online-presence ping and live online dashboard have been retired.

Analytics is part of the current app configuration. It is not required for core reading or listening features to function. Previously collected analytics is handled under Firebase's retention and deletion terms.

5. Services, recipients and international processing

  • Sehaj Path hosting and support: process account, chat, content-delivery and security information to operate the service and respond to requests.
  • Google Firebase: supports analytics, push delivery, configuration and app messaging. Depending on the service, it processes app-instance/installation information, push tokens, configuration requests and technical data. See Firebase privacy information.
  • Google AdMob: processes advertising-related information. See Google advertising privacy information.
  • Google Gemini and DeepSeek: process the AI content described above after you accept AI sharing.
  • Content and external-link providers: requesting a third-party stream, PDF or webpage exposes connection information to its host. Opening Instagram, WhatsApp or another external service is subject to that service's privacy practices. Sharing a poster uses the destination you select.

Service providers can process information outside your country. DeepSeek's published policy states that it processes and stores personal data in the People's Republic of China; Google describes processing across its and its agents' facilities. Their linked policies explain applicable data handling and rights. We may also disclose information where legally required or necessary to investigate abuse or protect the service and its users.

6. Device permissions

  • Internet access: retrieves content, streams and account data and connects the services described above.
  • Notifications: optional alerts and reading reminders. You can change notification permission in iOS/iPadOS or Android settings. Reminder preferences and remote push notifications can have separate controls.
  • Background audio and Android alarm controls: support playback with the screen locked and scheduled reminders. These are not microphone-recording features.
  • Photos: permission may be requested when you choose to save a Gurbani poster to your photo library. Saving/sharing an image is initiated by you.

The app does not need microphone recording or contact-book access for its reading and listening features. City and country are profile information entered or selected by you, rather than a request for precise GPS location.

7. Storage, retention and deletion limits

  • Device data: remains until removed through available app/device controls, replaced by the app or removed with app data. Platform backups and secure credential stores can have different behavior; uninstalling alone should not be treated as account deletion.
  • Server profile and conversations: account and profile details remain for account features until deleted. AI chat records are automatically deleted after five days. Clearing only the device's chat history does not clear a still-retained server copy.
  • Account deletion: removes the profile, leaderboard entry, active sessions and associated chat/AI records identifiable as belonging to that account from the active database. Historical records that cannot be linked automatically may need a support-assisted search.
  • Backups, security records and support email: may remain separately from the active account database. An in-app deletion does not immediately erase every backup, security record or email. Contact us to request review of these copies and applicable retention or deletion limits; records required for legal or security obligations may need to be retained.
  • Third-party copies: AI, advertising and Firebase information is handled under the relevant provider's retention and deletion terms. Deleting your Sehaj Path account does not automatically erase all provider-held information.

Retention varies by record type and purpose. You can ask us what is retained about your account and request deletion or correction using the contact details below.

8. Data Deletion Request & Your Choices

How to securely delete your account and associated data:

  1. In-App Deletion (Recommended & Secure): Sign in to the Sehaj Path app, open Settings → Delete account, and confirm. Because you are authenticated with your secure PIN, your account and data will be automatically and securely erased from our active database.
  2. Web / Email Deletion Request: If you uninstalled the app or cannot sign in, you can request account deletion by emailing support@antisoftindia.com.
    Security Note: Please provide your registered mobile number. For your security, never send your PIN. Our support team will securely verify your identity (e.g., via OTP or phone verification) before processing the deletion to prevent unauthorized account removal.

  1. Withdraw AI permission: turn off AI data sharing in Settings. Request deletion separately if you also want stored conversations removed.
  2. Analytics and ads: analytics is enabled in the current app configuration; advertising privacy choices remain available separately in Settings.
  3. Manage ads and notifications: use available in-app privacy options and your device's permission settings.

Account deletion leaves local reading content and bookmarks available on the device. Remove those separately if desired. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, obtain a copy of, restrict or object to processing of your information, or complain to a data-protection authority. Contact us to exercise applicable rights.

9. Security

Updated account services use authenticated access, hashed server PINs, secure device credential storage and limits on repeated login attempts. Account and AI requests use HTTPS. Some legacy third-party public media sources may still use HTTP, which does not provide the same transport protection; do not submit personal information through external media links.

No internet service or storage system can guarantee absolute security. Keep your PIN private and report suspected account access or data exposure to support@antisoftindia.com.

10. Children and AI access

Sehaj Path offers religious reading and listening for a general audience. Core reading does not require a child's profile information. Parents and guardians should supervise use of account features, external links, sharing and advertising settings.

Third-party AI services have age and regional restrictions. In particular, the linked Gemini API terms restrict use involving people under 18. AI chat is not intended for children; do not submit a child's personal information to it. A general-audience app rating does not override a provider's restrictions.

If you believe a child has provided personal information, email us so we can investigate and assist with appropriate deletion.

11. Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date above. Material changes may also be communicated in the app or through another appropriate notice. This policy does not replace a separate permission request where one is required.
