Inti Panchangam (ఇంటి పంచాంగం) is a Telugu panchangam and pooja-directory app. This page explains what information the app uses and, just as importantly, what it does not do.
| Data | Purpose | Leaves your phone? |
|---|---|---|
| Approximate location (coarse) | To calculate sunrise, sunset, and local panchang timings for your city, and to sort temples by distance | No - stored only on your phone |
| Profile details you enter (name, date/time of birth, raasi, nakshatra) | To personalise your daily panchang reading | No - stored only in a local database on your phone |
| Family member details you add | To show readings and special dates for your household | No - stored locally only |
| Notification preferences | To schedule reminders for festivals, poojas, and daily panchang | No - scheduled locally by your device |
The app requests approximate (coarse) location only, and only to compute sunrise/sunset and related timings for your area, and only when you tap "use my location". You can decline this permission and choose your city from the list instead. If you use it, the approximate coordinates are saved on your phone as your city (and are included in any backup file you export yourself) until you choose another city. Location data is never transmitted to us or to anyone else.
The app can schedule local notifications on your device (for example, a daily panchang summary or an upcoming festival reminder). These are generated and delivered entirely by your device's operating system; no notification content is sent through any external server.
The app lets you export a backup file of your profile, family members, and preferences, and later restore from it. This file is created and shared entirely under your control (for example, saving it to your own Google Drive or sending it to yourself) - we never receive a copy of it.
If the app runs into an error, a short technical log is saved on your phone. It is only sent if you choose to share it yourself from Settings, for example by email to us.
When you open the app, it asks the Google Play Store app on your phone whether a newer version is available, so it can offer the update. This check is handled by Google Play; the app sends nothing to us.
Some screens (such as stotrams or temple information) may link out to external websites or YouTube videos. Once you leave the app through such a link, that third party's own privacy policy applies.
The app is a general-audience religious/cultural reference tool and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect any information from children.
If this policy changes, the update will be posted on this page with a revised date at the top.
