Privacy Policy

Overview

DharmaVani ("we", "our", "us") provides spiritual guidance through the Bhagavad Gita, Vedas, Upanishads, and related texts via our website and mobile app. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Information we collect

• Account information: name, email address, and password if you create an account (stored securely by our authentication provider).
• Chat messages: questions you send in the app or on the website are processed by our servers to generate AI responses. We do not sell your conversations.
• Feedback: optional rating, message, name, and email if you submit feedback through the app or website.
• Usage data: basic technical data such as IP address and request timestamps may be logged by our hosting providers for security and rate limiting.

How we use your information

• To provide scripture-based chat responses
• To create and manage your account (mobile app)
• To respond to feedback you send us
• To protect the service from abuse (rate limiting, security)
• To improve DharmaVani over time

Third-party services

We use trusted third-party services to run DharmaVani:

• Vercel: hosts our website and API
• Supabase: user authentication and account storage (mobile app)
• AI providers (e.g. Groq / OpenAI): processes chat messages to generate responses. Message content is sent to these providers only to fulfill your request.
• Resend: delivers feedback emails to our team

These providers process data according to their own privacy policies and only as needed to operate the service.

Data retention

Account data is kept while your account is active. Chat messages are processed in real time and are not stored long-term on our servers unless required for security or legal compliance. You may request account deletion by contacting us.

Children

DharmaVani is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us and we will delete it.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent where applicable
• Delete your account through the app or by emailing us

Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all data in transit. Passwords are handled by our authentication provider and are not stored in plain text by DharmaVani.

Disclaimer

DharmaVani provides spiritual and educational guidance only. It is not medical, legal, financial, or professional advice. For emergencies or serious harm, please contact a qualified professional or emergency services.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page with an updated date. Continued use of DharmaVani after changes means you accept the updated policy.
