Because AaradhyaSetu operates on a 100% offline architecture without cloud accounts, user registration, or remote databases, the Developer holds zero records of your personal data on any server. You never need to wait for a server administrator to process a deletion ticket—you have complete power to erase all data directly on your device in seconds.
Zero Remote Server Storage Statement
Google Play's User Data policy and global privacy laws (including India's DPDP Act 2023, the European GDPR, and California's CCPA) require developers to clearly inform users how to request data deletion.
We are pleased to state that AaradhyaSetu was built from its inception with zero remote user data collection. When you use AaradhyaSetu:
- No personal profile is created.
- No email address or phone number is collected.
- No prayer counts or favorited aartis are transmitted over the internet.
- No cloud database exists to hold your personal interactions.
Consequently, there is no remote database from which the Developer could delete your data, because none was ever collected or stored remotely in the first place.
What Data Exists on Your Device
The only data that exists is stored exclusively inside the sandboxed private storage of your physical Android device:
| Data Type | Where Stored | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Favorite Aartis | Local Hive DB (hive_ce) |
List of aarti IDs you marked with a heart. |
| Reading History | Local Hive DB (hive_ce) |
List of recently viewed hymns and stotras. |
| Naam Jap & Mala Tallies | Local Hive DB (hive_ce) |
Cumulative bead counts across the 18 naam jap counters. |
| Display Preferences | SharedPreferences |
Theme mode (Light/Warm/Dark), font scale, and language choice. |
Step-by-Step Self-Service Deletion
You can permanently erase all on-device data at any time using standard Android operating system controls:
If you want to reset AaradhyaSetu to its factory-fresh default state without uninstalling it:
- Open your device Settings app.
- Tap on Apps or Application Manager.
- Locate and tap on AaradhyaSetu in the list.
- Tap on Storage & Cache (or Storage).
- Tap “Clear Storage” (or “Clear Data”).
- Confirm the prompt.
Result: All local Hive database files, bookmarks, counters, and cached preferences are instantly and irrevocably erased from your device's filesystem.
If you wish to completely remove the App and all its data:
- Locate the AaradhyaSetu icon on your home screen or app drawer.
- Long-press the icon and tap Uninstall (or drag to the trash icon).
- Confirm the uninstallation.
Result: The Android OS immediately destroys the application's isolated sandbox directory (/data/data/com.vaibhavi.aaradhyasetu/), deleting 100% of stored files, databases, and cache entries.
Uninstalling vs. Clearing Data
In cloud-based apps that require accounts (e.g., social media or banking apps), uninstalling the app leaves your profile intact on their remote servers.
In AaradhyaSetu, uninstalling the app is 100% equivalent to complete account deletion, because the device is the sole repository where data exists. Once uninstalled, zero trace of your devotional reading history remains anywhere in the world.
