Privacy Policy

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use the Gujarati Panchang application.

1. Data Collection and Usage

• Location Data: The app requests access to your location coordinates (Latitude and Longitude). This data is used solely to compute local sunrise, sunset, choghadiya, and tithi timings offline. Your coordinates are processed entirely on your local device and are NEVER transmitted to or stored on any remote servers.
• Local Storage: Your preferences (language, theme, city selection, and notification states) are saved locally on your device using Secure Shared Preferences.
• Notifications: The app schedules local notifications to alert you of daily panchang updates and festival reminders. We do not use remote push notification servers, meaning no notification tracking is involved.

2. Advertising and Analytics (Google AdMob)

• We display advertisements in the application powered by Google AdMob. Google AdMob may collect and use certain data (such as your device's advertising identifier, IP address, and basic device information) to show personalized or non-personalized ads.
• You can manage ad personalization settings through your device's Google settings. For more information, please review the Google Privacy & Terms at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

3. Third-Party Sharing

• Except for Google AdMob for the purpose of serving advertisements as described above, we do not share, sell, rent, or disclose your location or preference data to any third-party advertisers, analytical tools, or agencies. Your usage remains completely private and offline.

4. Permissions Required

• Location Access (Fine and Coarse): Used to fetch GPS coordinates for local calculations. You can select a city manually from our database if you choose not to grant GPS access.
• Notifications Permission: Required to display morning alerts, choghadiya updates, and festival reminders.

5. Changes to This Policy

• We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest policy is dynamically served in the app via our cloud host and is accessible on this page.
