Shubh Muhurat · iOS & Android
Privacy policy
This policy explains how Shubh Muhurat (also called Muhurat) handles information. For privacy questions, contact support@kothari.store.
No signup. No advertising. No analytics.
Muhurat is free. It uses your device’s location to calculate Chogadiya on your device. The app does not send your location or app usage data to us, and we do not operate a server that collects data from the app.
Location and calculations
With your permission, Muhurat accesses your latitude and longitude through your device’s location services. It uses them to calculate local sunrise, sunset, and current and upcoming Chogadiya. Tithi is also calculated on your device.
On iOS, the app requests location access while in use. On Android, it requests approximate and precise location access and can use the permission you grant. The app does not request background location permission. Widgets use the saved location rather than requesting a new one themselves.
Device location services may use GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular networks, or services provided by your operating system. Those services can process information under their own settings and privacy policies; on-device calculations do not mean that your device’s location services never use a network.
Information saved on your device
Muhurat saves the latest latitude, longitude, and location-update time so its home-screen widgets can calculate and display the current period. On iOS, this is stored in a shared container for the app and its widget. On Android, it is stored in the app’s private preferences. The app also saves whether you have seen its widget introduction.
Each new location replaces the previous saved location; the app does not keep a location history. Widgets stop using a location more than seven days old and ask you to open the app. This seven-day limit does not delete the saved coordinates.
Sharing, backups, and diagnostics
We do not sell or share your app data. Muhurat has no advertising, analytics, or third-party crash-reporting SDKs, and does not upload location or usage information to a developer-operated service.
Your operating system may include local app data in device backups or transfers, depending on your settings. Android backup is enabled for Muhurat, so its saved preferences, including the latest coordinates, may be backed up or restored. Backup services and operating-system diagnostics are managed by your platform provider under its own policies and controls.
Your choices and deletion
- Location: change or revoke Muhurat’s location permission in your device settings. Without permission, the app cannot obtain a new location for local calculations.
- Saved data: revoking permission does not erase previously saved coordinates. Widgets may continue using them until they become stale. On Android, clear the app’s storage to remove its saved data. On iOS, delete the app rather than offloading it to remove its local app data.
- Backups: manage retained backups through your device or backup provider. Removing local data does not necessarily remove backup copies, and restoring a backup may restore saved data.
There is no Muhurat account to delete, and we cannot access or erase the coordinates stored on your device remotely.
When you contact support
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include. We use this information to respond to your request. Email is handled by the email providers involved in delivering and storing the correspondence.
We retain support correspondence as needed to handle your request and related follow-up. You can request deletion by emailing support@kothari.store. Please avoid sending precise coordinates or other sensitive information unless it is needed to explain an issue.
