Bhaavya Archana Sanatan Vault ("we", "our", or "us") is an authentic digital sanctuary dedicated to the preservation of Vedic scriptures, temple heritage, Drik Panchang, and sacred devotional practices.
We hold user privacy as a sacred principle. This Privacy Policy outlines how our application operates with zero third-party tracking and transparent, client-side data handling, in strict adherence to Google Play Developer Program Policies, GDPR, and COPPA standards.

Purpose:
(1) To compute precise geodesic distance and cardinal bearing (0°–359°) toward 108 Sacred Temples (Jyotirlingas, Shakti Peethas, Char Dham) in the Parikrama Compass.
(2) To calculate high-precision local Drik Panchang astronomical timings (Sunrise, Sunset, Brahma Muhurta, Abhijit Muhurta, Rahu Kalam) based on your exact coordinates.
Privacy Guarantee: All location math is computed 100% locally on your device. Coordinates are never transmitted, logged, shared, or stored on external servers.

Purpose: Powering the Sanskrit Speech Tutor for live pronunciation scoring and vocal feedback during sacred mantra and Aarti recitations.

3. Advertising & Third-Party SDKs (Google AdMob)
We use Google AdMob to display family-friendly advertisements to support the preservation and ongoing maintenance of this digital vault.

We never sell, trade, or share your personal coordinates, temple searches, or devotional activity with advertisers.
