Privacy Policy
Last updated: 27 August 2026
This policy explains what Simahin collects when you use simahin.in or the Simahin Android app, why we collect it, and the choices you have. The Android app is a secure wrapper around the same Simahin website, so this single policy covers both.
Information we collect
- Account details. When you sign in with Google or with email and password we store your name, email address, and a Simahin account identifier.
- Optional mobile verification. If you choose to verify a mobile number, we store that number and the verification status. Verification is optional for browsing and reading.
- Profile and creative content. Artist profiles, writer profiles, write-ups, collections, books, manuscripts, images, audio, and any other content you submit.
- Activity. Follows, saves, shares, enquiries, applications, and messages you send through Simahin.
- Technical data. Basic log and analytics data such as device type, browser, pages viewed, and approximate region, used to keep the platform reliable and improve it.
What we do not collect
The Simahin Android app requests internet access only. It does not request your location, contacts, microphone, camera, or SMS. When you upload a file, the Android system file picker hands us only the file you chose.
How we use information
- To create and secure your account and keep you signed in.
- To publish the profiles, write-ups, and books you choose to make public.
- To connect artists, writers, organizers, learners, and readers who use Simahin.
- To send in-app notifications, such as when a creator you follow publishes something new.
- To moderate content, prevent abuse, and respond to rights reports.
Public content
Content you publish — public artist profiles, writer profiles, write-ups on Simahin Words, and public book pages — is visible to anyone and may appear in search engines. Private drafts, manuscripts, and unpublished books stay private to your account. Contact details submitted for bookings and enquiries are shared only with the relevant organizer, artist, or the Simahin team.
Rights Protect
Simahin Rights Protect stores a rights declaration, a timestamped proof, a content fingerprint, version history, and attribution details for the work you register. It is an authorship and attribution record maintained by Simahin. It is not a government copyright registration and Simahin does not represent it as one.
Sharing and service providers
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers that run Simahin — hosting, database and authentication, email delivery, SMS verification, and analytics — and where the law requires it.
Data retention and deletion
We keep your data while your account is active. You can edit or unpublish your content at any time from your dashboard. To delete your account and associated data, visit our account deletion page or email simahin.in@gmail.com from your registered email address and we will action it within 30 days, except where we must retain records for legal reasons.
Children
Simahin is intended for users aged 13 and above. Younger participants may take part only through a parent, guardian, or institution acting on their behalf.
