Privacy Policy for Kaalagya
Effective Date: June 12, 2026
Welcome to Kaalagya (the "App"), a premium Sanatan daily ecosystem. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.
---
1. Summary of Our Philosophy
* **Offline-First:** All core features (including Panchang calculations, Kundli creation, Japa counting, and Sadhana journal entries) work completely offline on your device.
* **No User Accounts:** You do not need to register, log in, or create a profile to use Kaalagya.
* **No Personal Data Collection:** We (the developers) do not collect or store your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal details on any external servers.
---
2. Information We Access and How We Use It
A. Location Data (Processed Offline On-Device)
* **What we access:** The App requests permission to access your device's Location (Precise and Approximate) to determine your coordinates (latitude and longitude).
* **How it is used:** Your coordinates are used **strictly on your device** to calculate astronomical calculations (Tithi, Nakshatra, Sunrise, Sunset, Brahma Muhurta, and Kundli charts) based on your current location.
* **Retention:** This data is processed ephemerally on-device and is **never** transmitted to our servers or stored by us.
B. Files and Storage (Local Only)
* **What we access:** The App may access your device storage to save generated PDF reports (like Kundli charts) and download/share images.
* **How it is used:** To export your files directly to your device's local memory or share them using the system share sheet.
* **Retention:** Files are stored locally on your device and are never uploaded to our servers.

3. Third-Party Data Collection (Advertising)
To support the development and maintenance of the App, we use **Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK)** to display advertisements. Google AdMob may automatically collect and share certain data types from your device:
* **Approximate Location:** Your IP address is processed by the AdMob SDK to determine your general region for serving relevant local ads.
* **Device Identifiers:** Advertising IDs (such as the Google Advertising ID or Apple ID for Advertisers) to customize ads, limit the frequency of ads, and perform fraud prevention.
* **App Activity:** Tracking user interactions with ads (such as impressions, clicks, or video views) to measure ad performance.
* **App Info and Performance:** Crash logs, diagnostic logs, and performance metrics to help Google optimize ad loading and fix SDK bugs.
Google AdMob’s collection and use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy, which you can review at:

4. Data Retention and Deletion
Since all your app data (including Japa counters, reading streaks, and journal entries) is stored locally in the App's secure database (Isar) on your device, deleting the App from your device will permanently delete all your local data. We do not have any backups on our servers to restore it.
---
5. Children's Privacy
Our App does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. Since we do not collect personal data from any user, we do not intentionally target children.
---
6. Security
All data transmitted by the third-party Google AdMob SDK is encrypted in transit using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
---
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date." We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
