In short
- Panchangamanam has no account, no app server, no analytics and no ads. The app makes no network connections and sends nothing to us or to anyone else.
- The app has no backup of its own. Your phone's own backups may copy saved profiles and settings.
- Panchangamanam is provided by CR8VEWORKS PRIVATE LIMITED ("we"). This policy covers the Panchangamanam app, which is in testing and not yet publicly available, and this website.
1What the app stores on your phone
The app saves only what it needs to show your panchangam. It keeps these in its ordinary app storage on the phone:
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your language choice, Elder mode, whether Today shows meanings of its Panchang terms (off until you turn it on), your main place and an optional second city, all chosen from the app's list | To show the app the way you set it up, with times for those places. |
| A marker that you finished setting up the app | So setup does not start again. |
| Your profile, if you add one: a name, birth date and time, a birthplace from the list, the city you live in now from the list once you choose it, and the janma nakshatra, pada and rashi worked out from your birth details | To show your personal results, such as your day's tarabalam and chandrabalam, and to work out family times for the city each person lives in now. |
| Family members, if you add them: the same details for each one, or, for a member added from a star you already know, their name, the nakshatra you chose, the pada if you chose one, and the city they live in now | To compare family members' favorable windows. A member added from a star alone is compared only once their pada is chosen; until then their nakshatra is used only for their tarabalam on Today. |
| A profile format marker, with no personal details in it | So the app reads saved profiles correctly. |
Birth details are optional, and you can use the app without them. The app uses your details only to calculate on the phone, and anyone who can use your unlocked phone can open the app and see them.
The app does not ask for your location, and it has no sign-in, sync or export.
2Phone backups
The app has no backup of its own. What your phone's own backups do with what the app stores depends on the phone:
- iPhone: a backup to iCloud includes app data, and so does a backup to a computer. Either can be restored to an iPhone.
- Android: the app turns off Android's backup for what it stores. Android's Auto Backup does not copy these settings and profiles to your Google backup, and Android's transfer to a new Android phone does not move them. A backup made by an earlier testing version of the app, which did not turn this off, may still hold a copy.
We cannot see or reach these backups. Your phone and its backup settings control them.
3Deleting your data
- In the app, open More. You can delete your own profile, one family member, or all personal profiles at once. The app asks you to confirm first.
- Removing the app from your phone removes what it stored there. Copies in phone backups stay until those backups are changed or deleted.
The app cannot bring deleted profiles back. Restoring an earlier phone backup may bring a copy back.
4Copying text
When you tap Copy on the Sankalpam screen, the app puts the sankalpam text on your phone's clipboard, where you can paste it. The app does not send it anywhere.
5If you email us
If you write to us, we receive your email address and your message, and we use them to answer you and to fix problems. Please do not send birth details; we do not need them.
6This website
This website sets no cookies and adds no scripts, analytics tools, advertising or forms of its own. It loads its fonts from this website, not from anyone else.
It is hosted on Google's Firebase Hosting, which receives the technical details of each request, such as your IP address. Google says that Firebase Hosting uses the IP addresses of incoming requests to detect abuse and to give site owners, such as us, detailed analysis of usage data. Google also says that Firebase Hosting keeps IP data for a few months. Google describes this on its Firebase privacy page, firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
7Changes
If the app changes what it stores or sends, we will update this policy and the date at the top.
