Privacy notice

This is a short notice under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. It lists each kind of personal data we collect and why, how you can withdraw your consent, and how to use your rights or complain. The full detail is in our [privacy policy](/privacy).

What we collect, and why

• Account: name, email address and password (kept only as a hash we cannot read) — to give you an account and sign you in.
• Birth details you add, for yourself or family members: name, relation, gender, date, time and place of birth — only to calculate the charts, reports and reminders you ask for. They are never used for advertising and never sent to Google.
• Mobile number, if you sign in with it or turn on SMS or WhatsApp reminders — to send sign-in codes and those reminders.
• Orders: what you bought, the amount and the payment reference — to deliver the purchase and keep the records tax law requires. Card and UPI details stay with the payment provider; we never receive them.
• Messages you send us — to answer them.
• Security records: when you sign in, your device type and a scrambled form of your IP address — to protect your account. The law requires us to keep these for at least one year.
• On every visit, through Google AdSense and Google Analytics: the page address, your browser and device, an approximate location from your IP address, and cookies — to show advertising, which pays for the site, and to understand how the site is used. You can opt out.

Your rights

• A copy of your data: download everything we hold about your account from your account.
• Correction: edit your details and birth profiles in your account.
• Erasure: delete any birth profile, or your whole account, from your account settings.
• Nominee: you may name a person to use these rights on your behalf if you die or become unable to act. Write to the Grievance Officer below with their name and email.
• Grievance: complain to us about how your data is handled (below).

Withdrawing consent

You can withdraw your consent at any time, as easily as you gave it: delete a birth profile, delete your account, turn off reminders, or opt out of personalised ads and analytics. Deleting your account erases your data except what the law requires us to keep (order records for tax, and security records for one year). Withdrawing does not affect anything done before it.

How to complain

Write to our Grievance Officer (details below). We will respond within 90 days, and usually much sooner. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

Children

An account must be held by a person aged 18 or older. A parent or guardian who adds a child's birth details does so as the child's parent and gives consent on the child's behalf. A child's details are used only for the calculations asked for — never for advertising, tracking or profiling.

Who handles your data for us

We share personal data only with the service providers needed to run the site, only for these purposes: Hostinger (hosting and database), Razorpay (payments), Google (sign-in with Google, advertising and analytics), an AI provider (Google Gemini) when the optional AI features are on (questions with names and contact details removed — never your birth details), MSG91 and WhatsApp when SMS or WhatsApp reminders are on, Expo and Firebase (app notifications), and your browser's push service (web notifications). Some of them are outside India.

Languages

This notice is available in English and Hindi. To receive it in any other language listed in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution, write to the Grievance Officer.
