Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

Nanga Kathai ("we", "us") is a music app for Badaga songs, made by Metatroncube Software Solutions. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We wrote it to be read, not skimmed.

The short version

• We collect only what we need to run the app: your email, the name you give us, and optional profile details.
• We do not sell your data, show ads, or share your details with advertisers.
• Your likes, recently played songs and downloads stay on your phone.
• You can delete your account, and everything linked to it, from the app at any time.

What we collect

Account details. When you sign up we store your email address, the name you enter and a securely hashed password. We never see or store your password in readable form.

Optional profile details. If you choose to add them: a profile photo, your village or hatti, and your phone number. Your phone number is visible only to the Nanga Kathai team, never to other listeners.

Creator applications. If you apply to become a verified creator, we also collect the details you submit, such as your stage name, Instagram ID, WhatsApp number, links to your work and an identity document. These are used only to verify you, are visible only to our admin team, and are stored privately.

Reports and messages. If you report a song, claim a song or contact us, we keep what you send so we can respond.

Technical information. Our servers keep standard logs (such as IP address, device type and time of request) for security and to fix problems. Logs are kept for a limited time.

What stays on your phone

Your liked songs, recently played list, sound settings and downloaded songs are stored on your device. Downloaded songs are encrypted and can only be played inside Nanga Kathai. Removing the app removes them.

How we use your information

• To create and secure your account, including sending sign-in and verification codes by email.
• To run the app: streaming, your profile and your preferences.
• To review creator applications and song reports.
• To keep the service safe and to fix problems.
• To count song plays, so we can show what is popular and, in future, give artists listening statistics.
• If you make a gift to support the app, Google Play or the App Store processes the payment. We receive a confirmation but never your card or bank details.

We do not use your information for advertising.

Who can see your information

• Our team: only the people who run Nanga Kathai, and only when needed.
• Service providers: our app runs on servers we operate, and email is sent through our own mail server. If we ever use an outside provider for hosting, email or payments, they may only use your data to provide that service to us.
• The law: we may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.

Other listeners never see your email or phone number.

How long we keep it

We keep your account details for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile, likes, playlists and history on our servers are removed. Backups are overwritten within about 14 days. Reports you sent may be kept, without your account, where we need a record of a rights or removal request.

Your choices and rights

• See and edit your profile in the app (Library > your profile).
• Delete your account from your profile page. This cannot be undone.
• Ask us for a copy of your data, a correction, or anything else about your privacy by writing to support@nkbmusic.com.

These rights apply wherever you live, including your rights under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Children

Nanga Kathai is meant for listeners of all ages, but accounts are intended for people aged 18 and over. Younger listeners should use the app with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian.

Security

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS) for everything the app sends, store passwords only in hashed form, restrict data access with database rules, and keep creator documents in private storage. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a password you do not use elsewhere.

Changes to this policy

If we make important changes, we will tell you in the app before they take effect. The date at the top shows the latest version.
