Welcome to Drik Jyotish (accessible via drik-astro.in and drik-astro-web.web.app). We are dedicated to protecting your personal privacy while providing authentic Vedic astrology calculations powered by the Swiss Ephemeris. This Privacy Policy explains our data collection, usage, and protection practices across our website, web application, and mobile software.
1. Information We Collect
Drik Jyotish is built on a privacy-first, client-side architecture. We do not require account registration or collect unnecessary personal data:
- Birth Details Input: When you calculate a Janam Kundali (Birth Chart), Marriage Matching (Porutham), or Horary chart, you input data including Name, Date of Birth, Time of Birth, and Place of Birth (Latitude, Longitude, Timezone). This information is processed directly on your device via client-side libraries. We do not store or transmit your birth records to our servers.
- Local Storage & Preferences: If you choose to save profiles or app preferences (language selection, chart style), this data is stored strictly in your browser's local storage (Hive/IndexedDB) and never uploaded to any remote database.
- Technical & Log Data: When accessing our website, web servers collect non-personally identifiable log information including browser type, referring URL, operating system, IP address, and date/time stamps.
