Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 August 2026

1. Who We Are

Dhoom Nacho (marketed globally as Doom Dance) is a digital wellbeing app operated by:
Prasanna Kadam (Individual Developer)
Email: dev.prasanna.kadam@gmail.com

2. What Data We Collect

Account & Identity Data

When you sign in, we collect:

• Your email address (via Clerk, our authentication provider)
• Your first and last name (if provided during sign-in)

Analytics Data

We use PostHog to understand how the app is used. We collect:

• Your name and email address (to identify active users in our internal dashboard)
• A stable user identifier (your Clerk account ID)
• App usage events (e.g. overlays shown, dance completions, onboarding steps)
• The names (package identifiers) of the apps you choose to monitor and how many minutes you use them against your daily allowance — this is core to the app's function and is only collected for apps you select
• Crash logs and diagnostics (error messages, stack traces, and a short trail of recent in-app actions) to help us fix bugs
• App version and platform (Android/iOS)
• A stable device identifier (randomly generated, not linked to hardware)

We do not collect precise location, contacts, photos, or financial information.

Accessibility Permission

The Android Accessibility permission is used only to detect which app is in the foreground so we can show the dance break overlay. We only read package names — we do not capture content shown inside other apps.

Advertising Data

We use Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob may collect advertising ID and approximate location (country/region). See Google's privacy policy for details.

Camera, Microphone & Dance Recordings

Dhoom Nacho has an optional feature that lets you record yourself during a dance break and share the clip.

• It is off by default. You turn it on yourself, and even then the camera only starts when you tap Record during a dance break. It never starts on its own.
• Sound is a separate option, also off by default. With it off we never request microphone permission at all. With it on, the microphone records the sound around you — including the dance music playing — for the length of the clip.
• We never read your photo or video library. The app cannot browse, list or open your existing photos and videos. The only thing it can do is add a clip you recorded in the app, when you tap Save.
• Recordings never reach us. They are captured and watermarked entirely on your phone and are never uploaded to us or to any third party. We have no server that receives them.
• Clips are kept on your device only, in the app's "Your Dances" library, until you delete them. You can delete any clip, or all of them, from that screen. To avoid filling your storage only the 20 most recent are kept — older ones are removed automatically. Uninstalling the app deletes them all.
• A clip only reaches another app (Instagram, WhatsApp and so on) if you tap Share and pick that app. What happens to it afterwards is governed by that app's own privacy policy.
• Our analytics record only that a recording happened — counters such as its length and whether it was shared or deleted. No video, audio, images or file names are ever sent to us.

Screen Time / App Restriction Data (iOS only)

On iOS, Dhoom Nacho uses Apple's Family Controls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity frameworks (part of Apple's Screen Time API) to let you restrict apps of your own choosing and require a short dance break to unlock them again. This requires your explicit, one-time authorization (a system permission prompt) before it does anything.

• The apps/categories you select are represented internally as opaque tokens that Apple's API generates — Dhoom Nacho never receives the names, bundle identifiers, or icons of the apps you restrict, and cannot see which specific apps you use.
• Your daily usage minutes against your chosen allowance are tracked entirely on your device by Apple's DeviceActivity framework and shared with our app only as an aggregate minute count (e.g. "12 minutes used today") — no browsing history, screen content, or app-usage timestamps ever leave your device or reach our servers.
• This is individual authorization only — Dhoom Nacho does not use Apple's parental-control/Family Sharing features, and this data is not visible to or shared with any other Apple ID.
• You can revoke this authorization at any time via iOS Settings → Screen Time, or by uninstalling the app.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
