Say No to Drugs · Your privacy
Privacy Policy
Effective date: 24 September 2026App: Say No to Drugs (package com.nilkanth.nilkanth)
Say No to Drugs (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is a free drug-awareness app, inspired by Operation Neelkanth and started as an initiative by Dr Karni Dan Kachhawaha. This policy explains what information the app and this website handle, why, and what choices you have. It applies to the Android app, its web version and this website.
In short
- No account, no login, no ads, no analytics.
- Nothing about you leaves your device unless you tap Send on the consent prompt. If you do, only your name, the quiz name and your score are sent, to a Google Form run by the programme organisers.
- Videos played from YouTube connect your device to Google.
- You can ask us to delete your record at any time: saynotodrugs260626@gmail.com.
1Information we collect
The app never asks for your phone number, email, location, contacts, photos or files, and it needs no account. The only personal detail you can type in is a name for your completion certificate, and that is optional.
Completion record (only with your consent). When you finish a quiz and open your certificate, the app asks whether it may send your result to the programme organisers. If, and only if, you tap Send, these three items are sent:
- the name you typed,
- the name of the quiz,
- your score.
Nothing else is sent: no device ID, no location and none of your individual answers. If you never agree, nothing is transmitted. You can turn this off at any time in the app under More → Settings.
2Why we use it
Completion records are used only so that the organisers (and participating schools) can see who completed the programme and issue official certificates. They are not used for advertising, profiling or any other purpose, and they are never sold.
3Information stored only on your device
To work, the app saves a few settings in your device’s local storage: your language and theme, whether you accepted the disclaimer, your best quiz scores, the certificate name you typed, and whether you agreed to send results. This stays on your device (except the completion record above, sent only with consent) and is erased when you uninstall the app or clear its storage.
Your quiz and self-check answers are processed on your device only to show you a result. Individual answers are never stored or sent.
4Third-party services
Google Forms. Completion records are submitted over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection to a Google Form owned by the programme organisers, and are stored by Google on our behalf under the Google Privacy Policy.
YouTube. Some awareness videos play from YouTube inside the app, and video titles and thumbnails are loaded from YouTube. When that happens your device connects to Google, which may receive your IP address and device information and may set cookies, under the Google Privacy Policy and YouTube Terms of Service. The videos bundled inside the app play offline and send nothing.
Sharing a certificate. If you share your certificate, the image goes only to the app you choose in your phone’s share menu (for example WhatsApp), under that app’s own policy.
Helplines. Tapping a helpline opens your phone’s dialer with the number filled in; you decide whether to call. Helplines are run by independent organisations under their own policies.
This website loads fonts from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address. It uses no cookies, analytics or ads of its own.
5Permissions
The Android app requests only the Internet permission, used for YouTube videos and, if you consent, sending the completion record. It does not access your contacts, call logs, camera, microphone, location or storage, and it never places calls on its own.
6No ads, no analytics, no selling
The app contains no advertisements, no advertising IDs and no analytics or tracking SDKs. We do not sell or rent any information to anyone.
7Retention
Completion records are kept only as long as the organisers need them to issue certificates and record the programme, and are deleted when no longer needed or when you ask us to delete them. Data on your device stays until you uninstall the app or clear its storage.
8Deleting your data and your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your completion record at any time. Email saynotodrugs260626@gmail.com with the subject “Delete my data” and give the name you used and roughly when you took the quiz. We will delete it within 30 days and confirm by email. No account is needed. See also the data deletion page.
To stop future sending, turn it off in More → Settings. To erase what is stored on your device, uninstall the app or clear its storage in your phone settings.
These rights are in line with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
9Children
The app is an awareness tool for a general audience, including school students. It collects nothing by default, and sending a result is optional and off until agreed to. If you are under 18, please ask a parent, guardian or teacher before agreeing to send your result. Parents and guardians can ask us to delete a child’s record using the contact above.
10Security
Completion records are sent only over encrypted HTTPS connections and are stored in the organisers’ Google account with access limited to the programme organisers.
11Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app changes. The new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and material changes will also appear in the app.
