Privacy Policy for Tithi

Effective Date: September 13, 2026 · Last Updated: September 13, 2026

Tithi ("the App," "we," "our") is a Hindu calendar (Panchang) application developed for Android. This Privacy Policy explains what data the App accesses, how it is used, and what permissions it requests. We built Tithi to work entirely on your device — please read below for full details.

100% Offline Zero Tracking Zero Analytics Zero Third-Party SDKs No Account Needed

1. Summary

100% offline. Tithi performs all Panchang, tithi, and planetary calculations on your device. No internet connection is required for the App's core functionality.
Zero tracking. We do not track your behavior, location history, or usage patterns.
Zero analytics. The App does not currently use any analytics service (e.g., Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics).
Zero third-party SDKs. The App does not currently integrate any third-party advertising, analytics, or data-collection SDKs.
No account required. You do not need to sign up, log in, or provide any personal information to use Tithi.
No data leaves your device. We do not operate servers that collect, store, or process your personal data.

2. Permissions We Request and Why

Location (Approximate / Fine Location)

Tithi may request access to your device's approximate or precise location. This is used exclusively on-device to calculate accurate Panchang details — sunrise/sunset times, tithi, nakshatra, and other planetary/astronomical data — for your geographic coordinates.

Your location is read from your device's location services and used only in local, on-device astronomical calculations.
Your location is never transmitted off your device, never sent to any server (ours or a third party's), and never stored in any log, file, or analytics event.
If you deny location access, you can still use the App by manually selecting or entering a city/location for calculations.

Notifications (`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`)

Tithi requests notification permission to deliver Panchang and festival reminders that you choose to schedule within the App. No notification is sent unless you have set it up yourself.

Exact Alarms (`SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM`)

Tithi requests this permission so that the reminders and alerts you schedule (e.g., for a specific tithi, festival, or auspicious time) arrive at the precise time you selected, rather than being delayed by system battery-optimization scheduling. This permission is used solely to power user-configured reminders and is not used for any other purpose.

3. Data We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit:

Your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal identifier
Your precise location history or movement patterns
Device identifiers, advertising IDs, or usage analytics
Any information via third-party SDKs (because none are currently integrated)

4. Data Storage

Any preferences you configure in the App (such as saved locations, reminder schedules, or display settings) are stored locally on your device only, using standard on-device storage. This data is not synced to any cloud service or server operated by us or any third party.

5. Children's Privacy

Tithi does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Since the App operates entirely offline and does not collect personal data, it does not present the privacy risks associated with data-collecting apps used by children.

6. Future Changes: Advertising and Analytics

We may, in the future, introduce:

Advertising via Google AdMob, to help support continued development of the App.
Anonymous, aggregated analytics, to help us understand feature usage and improve the App.

If and when these features are introduced:

This Privacy Policy will be updated in advance of the change, with a revised "Last Updated" date.
The App's Google Play Data Safety disclosures will be updated to reflect any new data collection or sharing.
Any advertising or analytics SDK we introduce will be selected and configured to minimize data collection, and we will disclose what data it collects and how it is used at that time.
Where required by applicable law (e.g., for users in the EEA/UK), consent will be requested before any such data collection begins.

Until such a change is published here, no advertising or analytics SDK is active in the App.

7. Data Security

Because Tithi does not transmit or store your personal data on external servers, the risk of external data exposure is minimal. Data stored locally on your device is protected by your device's own operating system security and permissions model.

8. Your Choices

You can review and revoke any permission (Location, Notifications, Exact Alarms) at any time via your device's Settings > Apps > Tithi > Permissions. Revoking a permission may limit related features (e.g., automatic location-based calculations or scheduled reminders) but will not affect the rest of the App's functionality.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect new features such as advertising or analytics (see Section 6). Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
