MahaJyotish App — Privacy Policy

This policy explains how the MahaJyotish Android app ("the App", "we") handles your information. The App is operated by MahaJyotish (mahajyotish.com). By using the App you agree to this policy. Creating a birth chart does not require an account — signing in with Google is optional.

1. Information the App Collects

• Birth details — the name, date of birth, time of birth and birth place you enter — sent to our servers only to calculate your Kundli, matching and Sade Sati results.
• WhatsApp number (optional) — only if you type it, used to deliver your report. The App does not read your phone number automatically; it only pre-fills your country calling code from your SIM.
• Google account (optional) — if you tap "Continue with Google", we receive your name, email address and profile photo to create and identify your account and to unlock your full report. You can sign out at any time.
• Location (optional) — only when you tap "Use my location" or open the Vastu Compass. Approximate/precise location is used on your device to fill your birth place (via reverse geocoding) and to show compass directions. Location is never tracked in the background and is not used for advertising.
• Payment information — payments are made via UPI in your own UPI/banking app. We do not collect or store your card numbers or banking credentials.
• Technical data — IP address and basic request data, used for security and to prevent abuse.
• On-device data — the charts you create are saved locally on your device so the App works offline. This stays on your device unless you sign in to sync it.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To calculate and show your Kundli, Kundli Matching, Sade Sati, Numerology and Vastu results
• To generate and let you download or share your PDF report
• To attach your charts to your account when you choose to sign in
• To process payments you make for premium reports or services
• To send optional daily reminder notifications, which you can turn off in the App
• To keep the service secure and to provide support

3. Notifications

If you enable "Daily reminder", the App schedules a reminder on your device. These are local notifications generated on your phone. You can turn them off any time from the Account screen or your device settings.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:

• Google — to verify your sign-in when you choose "Continue with Google".
• Our hosting & infrastructure providers — who store the data needed to run the service.
• Map/geocoding services — the place you type is sent, through our servers, to a geocoding provider so we can find its coordinates.

Some screens open pages from mahajyotish.com inside the App (for the full reading, payment and web tools). Those pages are governed by our website Privacy Policy and may use cookies.

5. Data Security & Retention

We use reasonable technical measures to protect your data and transmit it over encrypted HTTPS connections. We keep your birth details and account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, and delete or anonymise it on request.

6. Deleting Your Account & Data

You can delete the locally saved charts inside the App at any time (long-press a chart in "Saved"). To delete your account and the personal data associated with it, email info@mahajyotish.com from your registered email with the subject "Delete my account". We will remove your account data within 30 days, except where we must retain limited records for legal or accounting reasons.

7. Children

The App is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
