1. Overview & Commitment
At GharVyam (developed and published by tecnobij), your privacy is our utmost priority. GharVyam is designed as an offline-first fitness companion that guides users through bodyweight workouts, stretches, and daily exercises without requiring unnecessary personal identification or invasive tracking.
2. Information We Collect
We believe in minimal data footprint:
- Workout & Progress Data: Completed exercise sessions, workout history, custom routine preferences, and reminder time settings. This data is strictly stored locally on your device using secure key-value databases.
- Technical / Device Data: Generic device characteristics (operating system version, screen resolution, locale) may be processed temporarily in memory by the Flutter framework to render animations, 3D interactive models, and audio cues correctly.
- No Mandatory Account Creation: GharVyam does not require you to sign in with email, phone number, or social media logins to use core workout routines.
3. Android Device Permissions
In accordance with Google Play Store permission guidelines, GharVyam only requests permissions strictly necessary to deliver features:
| Permission | Technical Identifier | Purpose & Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Post Notifications | android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS | Used exclusively on Android 13+ to send daily workout reminders and workout timer notifications scheduled by you. |
| Exact Alarms | android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM | Ensures your workout reminder rings reliably at the exact scheduled minute. |
| Boot Completed | android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED | Re-registers your local workout reminder schedules automatically after your phone restarts. |
| Internet Access | android.permission.INTERNET | Enables optional dynamic assets loading (e.g. 3D exercise models, web views for exercise guides) and standard network health checks. |
| Network State | android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Used to check connectivity status before requesting remote 3D models or online exercise assets. |
4. On-Device Data Storage (Hive)
GharVyam uses local database technology (Hive) stored securely within your device's sandboxed private storage directory. No workout logs or user profile attributes are transmitted to remote servers during normal exercise use.
5. Third-Party Libraries & Services
The app incorporates open-source and standard software packages to enrich your workout experience:
- Flutter & Dart SDK (Google): App framework and runtime.
- Flutter Local Notifications: Schedules and fires local reminders directly on your device.
- Flutter TTS (Text-to-Speech): Synthesizes voice countdowns and workout instructions using your device's local speech engine.
- Model Viewer Plus: Renders 3D exercise movement demonstrations using Google Model Viewer components.
6. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)
GharVyam is intended for a general audience interested in fitness and wellness. We do not knowingly collect, store, or solicit personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area). If you believe a minor has provided personal data through our support channels, please reach out so we can delete it immediately.
7. Data Security & Retention
Because your workout progress is stored directly inside your Android device's application sandbox, your data is protected by the Android Operating System's security architecture. Your data persists as long as you keep the app installed.
8. Your Rights & Data Deletion
You have complete control over your data:
- Clear Data: You can wipe all workout progress and logs at any time via Settings > Apps > GharVyam > Storage > Clear Storage / Clear Data.
- Revoke Permissions: You can disable notifications at any time via Settings > Apps > GharVyam > Permissions.
- Uninstall: Uninstalling GharVyam automatically removes all locally stored workout history from your phone.
9. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may periodically update this policy to reflect app enhancements, new features, or evolving regulatory and Google Play policies. Any modifications will be posted to this page with an updated "Effective Date".
