Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the GHTE Studios website and to all mobile applications, games, and AI-powered products (collectively, the "Services") published by Guru Hi-Tech Engineering, operating under the brand name GHTE Studios ("we," "us," or "our"), based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India.

By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. This policy is designed to meet the requirements of the Google Play Developer Program Policies and the Apple App Store Review Guidelines, including their respective data safety and privacy disclosure requirements.

2. Information We Collect

The specific data collected depends on the individual app or service you use. Not every app collects every category listed below — where an app's data collection differs from this general policy, that will be disclosed in the app's own listing (Google Play Data Safety section / Apple App Privacy "Nutrition Label").

Information you provide directly: such as your name and email address when you contact us, sign up for an account, or submit feedback.
Device & technical information: device model, operating system and version, unique device or advertising identifiers, language settings, and general performance data.
Usage data: how you interact with our apps — screens viewed, features used, session length, and crash or diagnostic logs — used to fix bugs and improve the product.
Approximate location: only where a specific feature requires it (for example, localized content), and only with your permission where required by your device's operating system.
User-generated content: any content you choose to create, upload, or store within an app (for example, saved progress, notes, or files), where applicable.
Purchase information: if an app offers in-app purchases or subscriptions, transaction details are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store; we do not directly collect or store your full payment card details.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of personal data (such as health, biometric, or financial account information) unless a specific app explicitly discloses this and obtains your consent at the time of collection.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

Provide, operate, and maintain our apps and services.
Improve, personalize, and expand our Services.
Understand and analyze how you use our Services, to guide development decisions.
Diagnose technical issues, fix bugs, and improve app stability and performance.
Communicate with you, including responding to support requests.
Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical issues.
Comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we do not use your data for purposes unrelated to the operation and improvement of our Services without your consent.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR), we rely on one or more of the following: your consent, the necessity of processing to provide the Service you requested, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our Services (balanced against your rights), and compliance with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

Service providers: trusted third parties who help us operate our Services, such as cloud hosting, analytics, crash reporting, and customer support tools — bound by contractual obligations to protect your data.
Platform providers: Google Play and the Apple App Store, for purposes such as processing purchases, delivering app updates, and enforcing platform policies.
Legal requirements: where required to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of our users.
Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, where user information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy or a policy at least as protective.

6. App Permissions

Our apps only request device permissions (such as camera, storage, location, or notifications) that are necessary for the specific features they offer. Permissions are requested at the time a feature actually needs them, and you can review or revoke permissions at any time through your device's Settings app. Declining a permission may limit access to certain features but will not prevent you from using the rest of the app where technically possible.

7. Data Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS) and access controls on our internal systems. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

9. Children's Privacy

Unless a specific app is explicitly designed and marketed for children and clearly states otherwise, our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child without appropriate parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the email address below.

10. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Request deletion of your personal information.
Object to or restrict certain processing of your data.
Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
Opt out of certain analytics or personalized features, where offered within the app.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at guruhitech21@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law. You may also be able to manage certain permissions and data directly through your device's operating system settings or the Google Play / Apple ID account privacy dashboards.

11. International Data Transfers

We are based in India, and information we collect may be processed and stored in India or in other countries where our service providers operate. Where required by law, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for any international transfer of personal data.

12. Third-Party Links & Services

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, SDKs, or services (such as analytics or crash-reporting tools) that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made, and for material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to provide additional notice (such as an in-app notification).
