Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

PanchangBodh provides Hindu calendar information, panchang details, and muhurat timings. We built this service with privacy at its core. We don't use advertising trackers or analytics cookies, and we don't sell data to third parties.

What Data We Collect

City Preferences

When you select a city, we remember it in your browser (local storage and a small cookie) so you don't have to choose it again. Our server reads it only to show that city's timings and does not keep it.

Contact Form Submissions

If you contact us through our form, we collect your name, email, subject, message, and optionally your city. This data is stored securely in our database (Supabase) and used only to respond to your inquiry.

Newsletter Subscriptions

If you subscribe to our newsletter (feature coming soon), we'll collect your email address to send you panchang updates and festival alerts. You can unsubscribe anytime.

Accounts and saved reports

When you buy a report, or sign in to keep your reports in one place, we hold the following. We use it only to make, deliver and keep your reports, to show daily readings such as rashifal and dasha for the people in your account, and to run your account.

Your email address(es)

To send your reports and to let you sign in. You choose which extra addresses to link, and each one is confirmed with a code. For Gun Milan, also the other family's email if you asked us to send them a copy.

Name and birth details

The name, date, time and place of birth used for each report, so the report can be rebuilt for you whenever you download it again, and so daily readings can be worked out for that person. Birth details you add for family members are used the same way, only with their permission.

Payment references

The payment ID from Razorpay or PayPal, the amount, and, where the payment provider gives them, the email and phone used to pay. We never see or store card or bank details.

Tax invoices

GST invoices for each purchase, as the law requires.

Your choices

A record of when you agreed to this policy, your 18+ declaration, and whether you want emails about new reports and festivals.

Sign-in records

How your account was linked to purchases (Google, or an emailed code), kept as a hash, never the address itself.

How long we keep it

  • Your account, linked emails and saved birth details: until you delete your account.
  • Birth details for a report you bought as a guest: as long as the report is yours, so it can be re-sent.
  • Tax invoices: 72 months, as GST law requires. They stay even after an account is deleted.
  • Records of your consent and of how your account was linked: kept as proof, without your email address.
  • One-time codes: deleted within two days. Requests to find a report you paid for: deleted after 90 days.

Your controls

Sign in and open Account and privacy to download a copy of your data, change your email choices, or delete your account. You can also delete your data without signing in on the delete page. Both ask for a fresh emailed code first. Account and privacy · Delete your data

Services that process it for us

Supabase (database and sign-in), Vercel (hosting), Render (the server that runs our astronomical calculations), Google (Sign in with Google, and the mailbox that sends our emails), Razorpay and PayPal (payments). None of them may use your data for anything else.

What We Don't Collect

  • ✓No tracking cookies, no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel. We count visits and measure page speed with Vercel Analytics, which uses no cookies and doesn't identify individual visitors.
  • ✓No third-party advertising networks
  • ✓No device fingerprinting or behavioral tracking
  • ✓No sale of your data, and no sharing beyond the services that work for us (listed above)

How We Use Your Data

We use the minimal data we collect to:

  • Provide accurate panchang timings for your selected city
  • Make, deliver and re-send the reports you buy, and issue their tax invoices
  • Respond to your feedback and support requests
  • Send newsletter updates (only if you subscribe)
  • Improve our service based on user needs

That's it. We don't use your data for targeted ads, profiling, or anything beyond serving you better panchang information.

Data Storage & Security

Contact form submissions, and the details behind the reports you buy, are stored in Supabase, a secure and compliant database platform. We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS) for all data transmission. Your city preference is kept in your browser, not on our servers.

We retain contact form submissions for up to 2 years or until you request deletion. Newsletter subscriptions remain active until you unsubscribe. How long we keep the details behind a report is set out under “Accounts and saved reports” above.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the data we have about you (contact us for a copy)
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data at any time
  • Unsubscribe from newsletters
  • Clear your city preference (just select a different city or clear browser storage)

To exercise any of these rights, use our contact form or write to namaste@panchangbodh.com.

Third-Party Services

The services that process data for us are listed under “Accounts and saved reports” above: Supabase stores it, Razorpay and PayPal take payments, Google's mailbox sends our emails, and Render runs the calculations. We don't share your data with anyone else, and we never sell it.

Our website is hosted on Vercel. They may log basic server information (IP addresses, request timestamps) for infrastructure purposes, but we don't have access to or use this data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. If we make significant changes, we'll note the date at the top of this page. Continued use of PanchangBodh after changes means you accept the updated policy.
