Privacy Policy

Who we are

Live Panchang ("we", "our", "us") operates the website at https://livepanchang.in. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

We collect the minimum necessary to run the tool: (1) the city, latitude and longitude you select for your panchang lookup; (2) if you use the personalization feature, the birth date/time/place you voluntarily enter — this is stored ONLY in your own browser's local storage and is never transmitted to our servers; (3) standard technical logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) used for security and abuse prevention; (4) analytics data if you have consented to analytics cookies.

Local storage only

Your birth profile (date, time, place) lives entirely in your browser's localStorage on your own device. We have no database, no user accounts, and no server-side copy of your personal details. Clearing your browser data removes it permanently.

Cookies and analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics (Plausible or similar) that do not use cookies to identify you. If we later enable advertising (Google AdSense), Google may use cookies to serve personalized ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google's Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com) and via your browser cookie controls.

Advertising (when enabled)

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting https://adssettings.google.com.

Data sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only with (1) our hosting provider (Vercel) to operate the site, and (2) analytics/advertising providers as described above.

Children's privacy

The site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you (though in practice we hold almost none, since profiles are local-only). Contact us via the Contact page.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
