বাংলা ক্যালেন্ডার ও পঞ্জিকা (Bangla Calendar & Panjika) — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 20 August 2026

বাংলা ক্যালেন্ডার ও পঞ্জিকা is an offline Bangla/Gregorian/Hijri calendar, government holiday list, and date converter app, published by BotSquash. This policy explains how the app handles information. Short version: no account, no login, and no personal data of any kind is entered into this app. All date computation happens on your device. The one exception is advertising: this version shows banner ads supplied by Google AdMob, which processes an advertising identifier — that is described in full below.

বাংলা ক্যালেন্ডার ও পঞ্জিকা has no account and no user-entered records. We ourselves collect nothing: there is no analytics SDK, no crash reporting, and no server of ours that the app talks to. Your settings (language, numeral style, theme, notification preference) are stored only in local app preferences on your device. Google AdMob, the third-party ad network used to show banner ads, does collect data — see the Advertising section below.

Data we collect directly

None.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

This version shows ads. The app displays a banner ad at the bottom of the Today, Month, and Holiday List screens, served by Google AdMob. There are no full-screen or interstitial ads, no ads on the Converter or Settings screens, and no ads that interrupt or gate any feature.

To serve those ads, Google AdMob collects and processes data from your device, including:

This data is collected by and shared with Google for advertising purposes. It is governed by Google's own policies, not ours — see Google's Business Data Responsibility page and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. We never receive your advertising ID or any ad interaction data ourselves; we receive only aggregate earnings figures.

Consent (EEA/UK): the app uses Google's User Messaging Platform. Before any ad SDK initialization it asks Google whether a consent message is required for your region, and where one is, it presents that certified message and does not initialize the ad SDK until your choice allows it. Where Google indicates that a privacy-options entry point is required, the app shows a Settings → Privacy options row so you can change or withdraw that choice later.

The app is a general-audience calendar and is not enrolled in Google Play's Designed for Families programme.

Home screen widget

The optional home-screen widget shows today's date and the next holiday. It reads the same local settings (language, numeral style) and the built-in holiday list already stored in the app — nothing is fetched from the internet, and the widget does not run when you're not looking at your home screen beyond the operating system's normal update schedule.

Notifications

The optional daily notification (today's date and next-holiday countdown) is scheduled entirely on your device using Android's own notification system. No notification content is generated by or sent through any server — it is computed locally from the same date engine the rest of the app uses.

Permissions

In-app purchase

A one-time "remove ads" unlock (product id bangla_calendar_ads_removed) is built into the app but is not offered for sale in this version — the product is not yet available in Google Play, so no purchase option is shown anywhere in the app. If and when it is enabled, it will be sold and processed entirely through Google Play Billing; we would never see or store your card or payment details, and the app would store only a local flag on your device recording that the unlock is active. While that flag is set the app does not initialize the AdMob SDK at all, so no ad requests and no advertising-ID collection occur.

Hijri date disclosure

The Hijri (Islamic) date shown in this app is calculated using a standard tabular/mathematical method, not local moon-sighting observation. It may differ by roughly ±1 day from your local moon-sighting committee's announcement — this is disclosed in the app itself and is a calculation-accuracy note, not a data-privacy one.

Children

The app collects no personal data from anyone, including children. It is a general-audience calendar/reference tool, not directed at or marketed to children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change and the affected section will be rewritten to reflect what is actually collected at that time. Continued use of the app means you accept the current policy.
