Privacy Policy

Telugu Calendar collects minimal data to provide our services:

• Location (auto-detected): When you first visit, your approximate location is detected from your IP address via Cloudflare geo headers (city, coordinates, timezone). This is stored in a browser cookie to provide accurate panchanga calculations for your area. You can change your location at any time.
• Theme Preference: Your light/dark mode preference is stored locally on your device.
• Language Preference: Your Telugu/English language preference is stored in a browser cookie.
• Cookie Consent: Your cookie consent choice is stored locally so we don't ask again.

We do not collect, store, or process:

• Personal identification information
• Email addresses or phone numbers
• Precise GPS location (only IP-based city-level approximation)
• Browsing history or cross-site tracking data

Telugu Calendar uses the following cookies:

• tc-location: Stores your detected or selected location (city name, coordinates, timezone) for panchanga calculations. Expires after 1 year.
• tc-lang: Stores your language preference (Telugu or English). Expires after 1 year.
• theme: Stores your light/dark mode preference via local storage.

All cookies are first-party and essential for the site to function. No third-party tracking cookies are used.

Telugu Calendar uses the following third-party services:

• Cloudflare: Our site is hosted on Cloudflare, which helps detect your approximate location from your IP address. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
• Astrological Calculation API: We use a third-party API for panchanga calculations, festival data, horoscope, and temple information. Only location coordinates and date/time are sent to calculate results. No personal data is transmitted.
• PostHog Analytics: We use PostHog to understand general usage patterns. Analytics is gated by your cookie consent choice — no events are sent and no analytics cookies are set until you accept cookies. When enabled, PostHog may capture pageviews, clicks, and basic device information, with form inputs masked by default for privacy. See PostHog's Privacy Policy.

We use your browser's local storage to save preferences such as theme and cookie consent. You can clear this data at any time by:

1. Opening your browser settings
2. Finding "Clear browsing data" or "Clear site data"
3. Selecting local storage or site data
4. Clearing data for telugu-calendar.com

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
