Privacy Policy for Shravak Setu

Last updated: January 05, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Shravak Setu ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our mobile application (the "Service").

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Shravak Setu is designed as an offline-first application that respects your data sovereignty.

1. Information We Collect and Use

a. Location Data

Our Service requires access to your device's location (GPS and network-based) to perform its core function: calculating precise Jain Panchang, Tithi, and Pachkhan timings specifically for your geographical position.

• How we use it: The latitude and longitude coordinates are used solely within the app to compute astronomical data (sunrise, sunset, moonrise, etc.).

• Storage: Your current location is stored locally on your device to provide a seamless experience when you reopen the app.

• Sharing: We do not transmit your real-time location to any external servers, nor do we share this data with third parties. All calculations are performed the application or using offline databases. If you opt into online city name resolution (Reverse Geocoding), your coordinates may be sent to a privacy-focused geocoding service (like OpenStreetMap's Nominatim) solely to retrieve the city name.

b. Device Information

We simply use standard device permissions required for the app to function (e.g., scheduling notifications). We do not collect unique device identifiers (IMEI, MAC address) for tracking purposes.

c. Usage Data

We do not collect analytics or usage data. Your interactions with the app remain private on your device.

2. Permissions

The app may request the following permissions:

• Location (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION): To calculate accurate timing for religious observances.

• Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): To send you daily reminders for Tithis, festivals, or Pachkhan timings if you enable them.

• Alarms (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM): To ensure critical timing reminders fire at the exact required moment.

3. Data Security

Since we do not collect personal data or transmit it to cloud servers, the risk of data breach via our Service is virtually non-existent. Any data stored (like your saved location or preferences) resides solely on your device's internal storage.

4. Children’s Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
