Privacy Policy for Vaishnava Calendar

Effective Date: August 9, 2026

The Vaishnava Calendar mobile application ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in our mobile application ("the App"), which is published under the package name iskcon.calendar.calendar.

1. Information We DO NOT Collect

The Vaishnava Calendar App is designed to be completely offline and serverless:

• Does not require you to create an online account or register.
• Does not collect or upload your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal identification to our servers.
• Does not access your contacts, camera, photos, microphone, or device GPS location. All location queries are manually entered from an offline database of cities.

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

To compute the calendar details for your selected city, the App stores certain data strictly locally on your device's secure storage:

• Location Settings: The selected city and its coordinate offsets (latitude, longitude, timezone) used to compute the local sunrise, sunset, and tithis.
• Local Cache: Computed calendar months stored locally to speed up daily computations and allow offline usage.
• Preferences: User settings such as notification preferences.

All this data remains entirely on your device's local database/sandboxed storage and is never transmitted over the internet to our servers or any third parties.

3. Advertisements & Third-Party Services

The Vaishnava Calendar App is completely free and **ad-free**. It does not use Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) or any other third-party tracking, advertising networks, or analytics services. Your app usage is completely private and untracked.

4. Children’s Privacy

Our App is designed for general audiences seeking Vaishnava calendar details and festival timings. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we do not collect any personal information directly, we are fully compliant with children's privacy regulations (such as COPPA).

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
