# AnnaDarshan Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-03-31
This Privacy Policy explains how AnnaDarshan collects, uses, and protects information when you use the app.
## Information We Collect
- **Approximate/precise location** (only when you grant permission) to fetch local weather.
- **App preferences and local data** stored on your device (for app experience and faster loading).
- **Network request data** needed to call food and weather APIs.
We do **not** sell your personal data.
## How We Use Data
- Show weather-aware recommendations.
- Load food catalog and search results.
- Improve performance with local caching.
- Keep app features working (for example, favorites and personalization).
## Permissions
AnnaDarshan may request:
- `INTERNET` - to fetch food and weather data.
- `ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` / `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - to get local weather context (optional; you can deny).
If location permission is denied, the app uses non-location fallback behavior.
## Third-Party Services
AnnaDarshan uses external services for core functionality:
- Weather data provider (Open-Meteo).
- Food API backend (configured app API endpoints).
These services may process request metadata according to their own privacy terms.
## Data Storage and Retention
- Most app data is stored locally on your device database/cache.
- Remote API data is fetched as needed.
- You can clear app data anytime from Android settings.
## Children’s Privacy
AnnaDarshan is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
## Security
We use standard Android and network security practices, but no method is 100% secure.
## Your Choices
- You can deny location permission.
- You can revoke permissions anytime from device settings.
- You can uninstall the app to remove local app data from your device.
## Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Updates will be reflected by revising the date above.
