Introduction
AstroAlarm ("we", "our", or "the app") is a Panchangam-based alarm application for Android. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This
policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used, and your rights.

Information We Collect
1. Location Data
The app requests access to your device's location (GPS coordinates) solely to calculate accurate Panchangam timings (Brahma Muhurta, Rahu
Kalam, Nakshatra, etc.) for your area. Location is:
- Used only on your device for calculations
- Never stored on our servers
- Never shared with any third party (except as described under Crash Reporting below)
You may also manually type a city name to search for a location. This search query is sent to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service (a free, public
geocoding API) to find matching place names and coordinates. No personal information is included in this request.
2. Crash Reports
The app uses Google Firebase Crashlytics to automatically collect crash and error reports. This helps us identify and fix bugs. Crashlytics may
collect:
- Device model and Android version
- App version
- Stack traces at the time of a crash
- General device state (memory, storage)
Crashlytics does not collect your name, email, location, or any personally identifiable information. You can review Google's data practices at:
https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
3. Alarm & Notification Data
Alarm times and preferences you set are stored locally on your device only (in the app's private storage). This data is never transmitted to us
or any server.

Information We Do NOT Collect
- We do not require you to create an account
- We do not collect your name, email address, or phone number
- We do not sell or rent any data to third parties
- We do not track you across other apps or websites
