Katolikos Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 1 October 2025
Katolikos (“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to transparency, security, and respect for user privacy.
This Privacy Policy applies to (a) our website https://katolikos.com and (b) all mobile applications published under the Katolikos developer name on Google Play (including Daily Wisdom Devotional).
1. Scope of This Policy
This policy explains:
- what information we collect (when applicable),
- how we use and protect it,
- what your rights are, and
- how you can contact us.
2. Website Data Collection (https://katolikos.com)
A. Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, standard technical data may be logged automatically by our hosting or analytics providers:
- Usage data: pages visited, date and time of visit, time spent on each page.
- Device data: browser type, operating system, IP address and similar non-identifiable diagnostic data.
- Cookies & tracking technologies: small files used to maintain session state and analyse traffic. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; doing so may limit site functionality.
B. Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you contact us using email addresses on our site, we collect only the information you choose to provide:
- your email address, and
- any message content you send.
We use this solely to respond to your enquiry or provide support.
C. Purpose of Website Data Use
Data collected via the website is used only to:
- maintain and secure our site’s operation,
- understand aggregate traffic patterns, and
- improve content and usability.
We do not sell, rent or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Mobile Applications (Zero Data Collection Policy)
All Katolikos apps are built on a strict Zero Data Collection principle. Unless explicitly stated otherwise within an app’s description, our apps:
A. Do Not Collect, Store or Transmit User Data
We do not collect any:
- names, emails, phone numbers or locations,
- usage analytics, crash logs or advertising IDs, or
- user-created content (e.g. notes or favourites remain on your device only).
All data remains entirely local to your device and is never sent to Katolikos or any third party.
B. Third-Party Services
Our apps use no analytics SDKs, advertising libraries, or tracking pixels.
The only third party involved is:
Google Play Billing – used solely to process your purchase through the Play Store. Katolikos never receives or stores your payment details. All payment information is handled directly by Google under its own Google Payments Privacy Notice.
C. App Permissions
Each app requests only the minimal permissions necessary for its core functions (for example, network access for purchase verification or notification permission for daily reminders). These permissions can be managed at any time in your device settings.
4. Children’s Privacy
Our website and apps are intended for general audiences aged 13 and older. Because our apps do not collect personal data, we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has contacted us directly, please notify us and we will delete any related information immediately.
5. Data Security
We maintain reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect any information held by our website against unauthorised access or disclosure. As our apps store no data externally, no user records exist on our servers.
6. International Use
Our servers and services may be located outside your country. By using our website you consent to the processing of non-personal data in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.
7. Your Rights
Where data is processed through our website, you may request access, correction or erasure of that information by contacting us (see Section 9). We will respond promptly within the limits of applicable law.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Revisions will be posted on https://katolikos.com/privacy with a new effective date. Substantive changes will also be highlighted within our apps’ store listings as required by Google Play policy.
