At Palapala, we are committed to safeguarding your privacy and protecting the confidentiality of your personal information, birth details, and palm imagery. This policy outlines how we collect, process, and protect your data when using the Palapala mobile app and web services.
1. Information We Collect
Palapala collects only the minimum necessary information required to generate accurate traditional Vedic astrological readings and AI palmistry insights:
- Birth Details: Date of birth, exact time of birth, and birth city/district to calculate astronomical planetary positions using the Lahiri Ayanamsa ephemeris.
- Palm Imagery: Clear palm photographs voluntarily uploaded by you to enable the computer vision model to detect principal hand lines and mounts.
- Horoscope Matching Details: Partner birth stars (Nakshatras) and Ascendants (Lagnas) when utilizing the 20 Marriage Porondam compatibility service.
2. How We Use Your Data
Your data is processed strictly to deliver your astrological calculations. We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information with any third parties or advertisers. We use your data to:
- Calculate precise Vedic planetary charts (Rashi and Navamsha kundali).
- Perform AI feature extraction on palm lines (Life, Head, Heart, and Fate lines).
- Provide daily planetary horary schedules (Rahu Kalaya, Suba Horawa, and daily lucky numbers).
- Answer your interactive AI astrologer follow-up questions.
3. Data Security & Storage
Uploaded palm photographs are processed in-memory during reading generation and are not permanently retained on external public databases. All communications between your mobile device and our backend are encrypted using industry-standard TLS/SSL protocols.
