Effective 12 June 2026 · Applies to the Niyam Android app and www.myniyam.com
Niyam has no accounts and no sign-up. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data. Your mantras, journeys, streaks and settings live only on your device.
Niyam uses Android's Accessibility Service for exactly one purpose: to detect the moment you open an app you chose to block (such as Instagram, Facebook or YouTube), so your mantra can appear first. It does not read, record, or transmit any content from your screen, your messages, or any other app. Detection happens entirely on your device.
Uninstalling the app deletes all of it. We have no servers and keep no copy.
Premium subscriptions are processed by Google Play. We never see or store your payment details. Google's handling of your payment information is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
The free tier shows banner ads served by Google AdMob on the Home and Library screens only — never on the mantra screen. AdMob may process device identifiers to serve ads; see Google's AdMob privacy information. Premium and trial users see no ads.
If you join the waitlist, your email address is delivered to us by a form service and used only to tell you when Niyam launches. No analytics or tracking cookies run on this site.
Niyam is a general-audience devotional app. Because we collect no personal data, no children's data is processed. The waitlist and grievance email are intended for users aged 18 or over.
We operate under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its Rules. Because the app collects no personal data, most processing simply never occurs. Where we do hold personal data — a waitlist email, or a grievance email you send us — you have the right to access it, correct it, have it erased, and to complain. Write to our grievance contact at netipranavaditya@gmail.com; we aim to acknowledge within 7 days and resolve within 90 days. If unsatisfied, you may approach India's Data Protection Board. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting you, we will notify you and the Board as the Rules require.
In line with Google Play's policy on the AccessibilityService API, the app presents a prominent in-app disclosure and asks for your explicit consent before the service is enabled. The service is used solely to detect launches of apps you chose to block; it does not collect, store, or transmit screen content or personal data.
If this policy changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new effective date. Questions and grievances: netipranavaditya@gmail.com. See also our Terms & Conditions.
