Privacy Policy — Parvani
Last updated: 3 September 2026
Parvani ("the App") is developed and published by Rosnil Technology Private Limited ("Rosnil", "we", "us"). The short version: Parvani does its core work entirely on your device. Panchang and astrology calculations, your practice routine, calendar and reminders are computed and stored on your device, and the App works offline for those features. The genuinely personal information you enter — family profiles and birth details — is encrypted at rest on your device. Information leaves your device in four cases, each described below: (1) if you use the optional AI "Ask" feature; (2) if you create an optional account (Apple, Google or your phone number) to sync your household and plan; (3) anonymous, non-identifying usage analytics we use to improve the App; and (4) an anonymous push token if you enable notifications. We run no advertising, we do not sell your data, and we do not track you across other apps.
1. Who we are
Rosnil Technology Private Limited is the data controller (DPDP Data Fiduciary) for the App. For any privacy question or request, contact rosnil@apeitnow.com.
2. The information the App works with on your device
To compute a personal Panchang and reading, the App lets you enter and store, on your device:
- Family, partner and business/organisation profiles — the name and relationship of each person or entity you add
- Birth details — birth date, birth time (or that it is unknown), and birth place / location
- Astrological data derived from the above — Panchang figures, natal indications (janma nakshatra, rashi, tithi), compatibility indicators and daily readings
- Your practice and personal content — routine, calendar overlays, reminders, mantra and pranayama history, scripture bookmarks and notes, your AI "Ask" question-and-answer history, and any saved face/palm reading text
We treat this as sensitive. It is used to produce the App's features. Except for the cases in Sections 4–7, none of it leaves your device.
3. How this data is stored and protected on your device
The above is stored in the App's private storage on your device. The App is fully usable this way, with no account.
- Encryption at rest. Sensitive data — profiles, birth details, calendar overlays, the audit trail, your AI question-and-answer history and saved face/palm reading text — is encrypted with AES-256 before it is written to storage. The key is a 256-bit random value held in your device's secure keystore (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore), marked non-exportable and device-only; it never leaves your device.
- Non-sensitive preferences (language, theme, entitlement tier) are stored without encryption.
The Panchang, natal and reading calculations run locally. The scriptures, mantra audio and place data are bundled with the App, so those lookups never leave your device.
4. The optional AI "Ask" feature — what leaves your device
Parvani includes an optional AI oracle ("Ask") that answers free-form questions, and an optional face/palm reading. These features require a network connection and run only when you choose to use them. Before your first question is sent, the App shows a one-time consent notice naming exactly what will be transmitted and where it goes; nothing is sent if you decline.
Where the data goes. When you ask a question, the App sends the request to the "Eka" AI gateway, an AI service operated on Rosnil's behalf. The gateway holds the provider credentials, meters and audits every call, and forwards the request to a third-party AI model provider (Google Gemini) under a governed contract. The App itself never holds the AI provider's keys.
What is sent when you ask a question: your question text; the computed astrological facts for you and the day; relevant profile context, which may include the first names of the people involved, their birth day, month and year and derived compatibility indicators; the place name (never your precise GPS coordinates — those stay on your device); and an anonymous per-install identifier (Section 6).
Photos (optional). If you attach a photo, that image is sent to the AI gateway and its vision model to be interpreted. It is sent in order to be read; the App does not store your image on Rosnil's servers. A one-time in-app notice informs you before your first image upload.
Your Q&A history is stored, encrypted, on your device as in Section 3.
5. Optional account and household sync
Signing in is optional — the App works fully without it. If you choose to create an account, it lets a family share one household and keeps your subscription tier server-verified across your devices. You can sign in with Apple, Google, or your phone number (a one-time code by SMS). What we collect and store on Rosnil's servers when you sign in:
- Your identifier from the sign-in method — your email address (from Apple or Google; Apple may relay a private address) or your phone number (if you sign in by phone), and your name if you provide it.
- An account and household record — a server-side account and a household you own or belong to, and the profiles you choose to share with that household so members see the same family calendar. Profiles you keep private stay on your device.
- Subscription status — which plan your household is on (see Section 9), so entitlements are consistent across devices.
This data is used only to operate your account, household and plan. It is not sold, not used for advertising and not shared with third parties for their own purposes. Phone sign-in codes are delivered by our SMS provider (Fast2SMS) solely to send you the one-time code.
Deleting your account. You can delete your account and household at any time from Settings → Delete account in the App. This permanently removes your account, your household and the profiles you shared to it from Rosnil's servers (if your household has other members, ownership passes to another member). Your on-device data stays on your device unless you also uninstall. You can also request deletion at rosnil@apeitnow.com or via our data-deletion page.
6. Anonymous usage analytics and device identifier
Anonymous usage analytics. To understand how features are used and to improve the App, the App sends anonymous product-usage events (for example, that a screen was opened or a practice completed) to Rosnil's own servers. These carry an anonymous per-install identifier, your app version, and coarse device platform / region — not your name, birth data, profiles, question text or precise location. We use no third-party analytics SDK, and this data is not used for advertising or to track you across other apps.
Anonymous device identifier. The same random, per-install identifier is sent with AI requests to rate-limit them and prevent abuse. It is not derived from your hardware, account, name or any personal data, and is not an advertising identifier.
Crash diagnostics. Automatic crash reporting is off by default and only active if a build is explicitly configured for it. When enabled, the reports carry no names, birth data, question/answer text or photos — only non-personal error metadata, with personal-data attachment turned off.
7. Push notifications
If you enable notifications, the App registers an anonymous push token (issued by Apple's or Google's push service, brokered by Expo) with Rosnil's servers so we can deliver your reminders and occasional Parvani updates. The token is not linked to your identity and carries no personal data. If you turn notifications off in your device settings, no token is used and none are sent. Reminders you schedule are delivered locally by your device.
8. What we do not do
- No advertising — no ads, no ad SDKs, no ad identifiers.
- No selling of data.
- No cross-app tracking.
- No account required — the App works fully without signing in; an account is entirely your choice.
9. Purchases and subscriptions
In-app purchases and subscriptions are handled by the Apple App Store and Google Play, with purchase state managed through RevenueCat. Only receipt and purchase information (which product you bought and its status) is processed. The App does not receive or handle your card or bank details.
10. Backups you control
Because your on-device data lives on your device, the App offers an optional encrypted backup you can export and restore yourself, protected by a passphrase you set. We do not receive it and cannot read it.
11. Permissions we ask for, and why
| Permission | Why | What happens to the data |
|---|---|---|
| Notifications | To deliver your routine and practice reminders, and (if you enable them) Parvani updates | Reminders are scheduled locally; an anonymous push token is registered for delivery (Section 7). No reminder content is stored by us. |
| Location (optional) | To set your place for sunrise/sunset and Panchang, if you don't enter it by hand | Used on-device; coordinates stay on your device. Only the resolved place name (never the coordinates) is ever sent off-device, and only as part of an AI question you make |
| Photos / Camera (optional) | To attach an image for an AI face/palm reading, or the live Vastu direction view | An attached image is sent to the AI gateway to be read (Section 4); it is not stored on our servers |
You can decline or revoke these in your device settings at any time; the related feature simply won't be available. You can always enter your location manually.
12. Sharing to other apps
If you export a backup or share a reading, your device's system share sheet hands the file to the app or service you select, governed from that point by that service's own privacy policy. We do not control or receive anything through this step.
13. Software updates
The App uses Expo Application Services (EAS Update) to deliver improvements. When it checks for an update, Expo's servers receive standard technical request data — your IP address, device platform and the App's runtime version — used solely to serve the correct update file. No birth, family or astrological data is ever part of this. See expo.dev/privacy.
14. Not professional advice
The App's Panchang, daily readings and AI answers are traditional cultural guidance produced by deterministic calculation, classical rule-sets and — for the Ask feature — an AI model reasoning over those computed facts. They are for personal reflection and are not professional, medical, legal, financial or psychological advice, and not a prediction or guarantee of any outcome. The pranayama timer is a general wellness aid, not medical treatment. See the Terms of Service for the full disclaimer.
15. Children
The App is a general-audience cultural and wellness app and is not directed at children. Accounts, the optional AI feature, and the entry of birth details are intended for adults (18 years or older). On first launch the App asks you to confirm you are 18 or older, or that a parent or guardian is setting it up with you.
Because the App lets an adult keep a household — which may include a child's birth details entered by that adult — you must only add another person's details if you are that person, their parent or guardian, or otherwise permitted to. Where the law requires parental consent to process a child's personal data (for example, under 13 in the United States, or under 18 in India under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023), the responsible adult who sets up the household provides that consent. We do not knowingly let children create their own accounts; if you believe a child has set up an account without a parent or guardian, contact us and we will remove it.
16. Data retention and deletion
On-device data. Deleting a profile, note, bookmark or Ask conversation in the App removes it, and uninstalling the App removes all of its on-device stored data. Any backup you exported remains wherever you saved it until you delete it.
Server-side data (only if you sign in). Deleting your account from Settings → Delete account permanently removes your account, household and shared profiles from Rosnil's servers. We retain anonymized, non-identifying transactional records (such as metering and audit logs) as required for security, billing and compliance; these do not identify you once your account is deleted. For server-side AI logs from the Ask feature, contact rosnil@apeitnow.com.
17. Your rights
If you have not signed in, we hold no account or profile about you on our servers. If you have an account, you may access, correct or delete it — deletion is available in-app (Section 5) and by contacting us. For any request under the GDPR, India's DPDP Act, the CCPA or similar laws, contact rosnil@apeitnow.com. Our Grievance Officer for DPDP requests can be reached at the same address.
18. Changes to this policy
If we change how the App works in a way that affects this policy, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date. Material changes will be reflected here before the updated App is released.
