Eviland Media Mobile App Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for Eviland Media app

Effective Date: August 18, 2026

Last Updated: August 18, 2026

App Develop Platform : Kodular

Introduction & About Eviland Media (app)

Welcome to Eviland Media (“we,” “our,” or “us”). Eviland Media is a dedicated digital news platform providing up-to-date local news, national issues, analytical articles, stories, and developments focusing primarily on the Andaman & Nicobar Islands as well as national interests.

This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application collects, uses, stores, and protects your information when you access or use our services through the Eviland Media mobile app (“App”).

Information We Collect and How We Use It
WebView & Web Content Rendering

Our App functions primarily as a specialized, secure WebViewer interface that delivers real-time news articles, stories, and multimedia directly from our official online portal ([https://eviland.com](https://eviland.com)).

We do not collect, sell, or rent personal browsing data through the WebView.
Standard web server log data (such as IP address, browser user agent, and request timestamps) may be automatically recorded by our web hosting server to maintain security and optimize server performance.

Offline Access via Web Cache

To provide a seamless reading experience, our App utilizes local device caching (Web Caching).

How it works: When you view articles online, temporary web text and graphic assets are saved locally on your device storage.
Offline Functionality: If your internet connection drops, the App retrieves this cached content so you can continue reading previously loaded news articles offline.
Data Safety: This cached data stays entirely on your local device and is never transmitted back to external servers without authorization.

Push Notifications (OneSignal & Firebase Cloud Messaging)

We use OneSignal and Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send breaking news alerts, important updates, and news digest notifications directly to your device.

Information Collected: Unique device tokens/identifiers, device model, operating system version, and general network state.
Purpose: These identifiers allow us to deliver timely notifications to your device.
User Choice: You can opt-in or opt-out of push notifications at any time through your mobile device’s system settings (Settings ➔ Applications ➔ Eviland Media ➔ Notifications).

No Location Tracking

We respect your personal privacy. The Eviland Media app does NOT request, collect, track, or monitor your real-time precise GPS location or geographic location data.

App Features & Social Integration
Navigation Menu & External Links

The App features a side/top Navigation Menu and a “More” menu designed to enhance usability and provide quick access to key sections of our media network.

YouTube Channel & Social Media Links

Our Navigation Menu includes direct links to our official Eviland Media YouTube Channel (Eviland Andaman) as well as our official social media handles (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, etc.).

Clicking these links will open the content within the App or redirect you to the respective official third-party apps or websites.
Interaction with external platforms is governed by the respective privacy policies of those third-party services (e.g., YouTube/Google Privacy Policy, Meta Privacy Policy).

Third-Party Services

To ensure efficient performance and reliable notification delivery, the App integrates the following compliant third-party SDKs:

Google Firebase / FCM: For system analytics, crash reporting, and notification infrastructure. (Google Privacy Policy)
OneSignal: For organizing and dispatching mobile push notifications. (OneSignal Privacy Policy)

Children’s Privacy

The Eviland Media App provides general regional and national news and is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can delete the information.

Data Security

We implement standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please be aware that no internet-based transmission or storage system is 100% secure.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in app features, legal requirements, or security protocols. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.” We encourage users to periodically review this policy.
