Birth details you type

The date, time and place you enter are used to compute your chart at the moment you ask. They are processed transiently, in the request that draws the chart. Whether they are then kept depends entirely on whether you are signed in. See the next two entries, which say exactly what happens in each case.

Charts you save

If you are signed in, a chart you ask us for is saved to your account automatically, so you do not have to ask, and we do not nag you to. A chart you opened from somebody else’s link is not: it is theirs, not yours, so it never enters your account on its own. You can delete any saved chart at any time, from “Your kundlis” or from your account page.

Photographs you send for a reading

A face or palm reading needs a photograph, so the two reading pages ask for one. Sending it is the only way we ever get one: nothing on this site opens your camera by itself, and we ask for a photograph nowhere else. What happens to it is worth stating plainly, because a photograph of your face is more personal than anything else here.

Your browser shrinks the picture before it leaves your device. It is then stored in a private area that no other visitor can reach and no search engine can index, under your account, and it is sent once to the company whose model reads it for us, Anthropic, whose servers are outside India. They read it to write your reading and do not use it to train anything. We do not run face recognition on it, we do not try to work out who you are from it, and we never show it to another visitor.

We keep the picture for as long as there is room for it. Storage here is small and finite, so once a thousand photographs are held, the oldest is deleted to make space for the newest. That is a rolling limit rather than a promise about time, and it is the honest way to say it. The reading itself is text and stays on your account after its photograph has gone. You can delete a photograph yourself, at any time, from your account page.

Your conversations with Panditji

What you write to Panditji and what Panditji replies are saved to your account, so the conversation is there when you come back. To write each reply, your question is sent to Anthropic, the company whose model writes Panditji’s answers, along with your chart, your birth date and place, and the name, age and sex you gave us. Their servers are outside India. They use it to write the reply and do not train anything on it. Panditji also keeps short notes on what you have told it and a summary of your past conversations, so you are not asked the same thing twice. Premium reports are written the same way, from your chart.

If you are not signed in

A chart you ask us to work out is still kept, but against this browser rather than against you: we hold the birth details you typed and nothing that says whose they are. There is no account, no email address, and no way for us to connect one browser to another or to a person. Your recent kundlis and your last birth details also stay in your own browser, so the site can offer them back when you return. A chart you opened from somebody else’s link is never kept for you, because those details are not yours. If you sign in later, the charts this browser made move into your account and become yours to delete.

Analytics

Google Analytics sets cookies so we can see anonymous usage patterns: which pages are read, from which cities, at what times of day. It tells us what to build next. We do not sell or share this with anyone.

Your preferences

Theme and other convenience settings stay in your own browser’s storage. They make the site remember how you like it, and they never reach our servers.

Signing in with Google

If you sign in with Google we receive your email address, and use it only to hold your account together. Nothing is posted anywhere on your behalf.

Signing in with your phone

If you sign in with your phone number, the number is kept on your account. The one-time code reaches you by text message, or sometimes on WhatsApp, through a messaging provider whose only job is to deliver it. We keep a log of when codes were asked for, to stop abuse.

Payments and invoices

Razorpay takes your card, UPI or bank details on its own page, and we never see them. We keep a record of each order, and we pass your email or phone number to Razorpay so its form opens already filled in. Every payment gets a GST tax invoice with your name, your email or phone, and your state, because GST law requires the buyer’s state. We work out the state from where your internet connection is, and you can change it on the recharge screen before you pay.

Advertising

We advertise on Instagram, Facebook, Google and ChatGPT, and to learn which ads bring people who find the site useful, the Meta Pixel, the OpenAI pixel and Google’s ad tag run on our pages. They see which pages you open and a few steps you take here, such as working out a chart, signing up, asking Panditji a question, reaching the recharge screen and paying. When you pay, we also tell Meta and OpenAI directly and send your email and phone number in hashed form. Hashing scrambles them so each of them can match the payment to an ad without reading them. We also pass on the IP address and browser type your device had when you opened the payment, which their pixels would see on their own anyway. If you arrived from an ad, the ad and campaign it came from are saved with your account. An ad blocker or your browser’s tracking protection stops all of this, and the site works the same without it.

Emails we send you

We email you about your account, when a report you bought is ready, and now and then to remind you that Panditji is here. Every reminder has an unsubscribe link. The emails go out through Resend, and we keep a record of which ones were sent and delivered.

Messages you send us

What you write through the contact page is saved with your email address and reaches us by email, so a person can read it and reply.

• —We do not sell your data, to anyone, for any price.
• —We share your birth details and your conversations with nobody except Anthropic, which writes Panditji's replies.
• —We read nothing beyond what the tool in front of you needs to do its work.

Any chart you saved can be deleted from your account. A photograph you sent for a reading can be deleted on its own from your account page, without deleting the reading it produced.

To erase your whole account, write to us and we do it by hand. That removes your charts, your conversations with Panditji and the notes it kept, your photographs, readings and reports, and your wallet. Any balance left in the wallet goes with the account, so spend it first or tell us about it when you write.

Payments are the exception. Tax law requires us to keep the record of every payment and its GST invoice, so those stay after the rest of your account is gone, still carrying the name, email or phone and state printed on them. A worked-out chart can also stay in our cache, holding the birth details but no name and no link to an account.

To delete data or ask anything about it, write to contact@modernpanditji.com.

We publish our own short videos, the daily panchang and rashifal, to our YouTube channel, Modern Panditji. The uploads are made by our own internal publishing tool, which uses YouTube API Services.

That tool works only on our own channel, with our own credentials. It does not collect, access or store any information about you or about any other YouTube user. The one record it keeps is the list of video IDs we ourselves uploaded, kept so the same video is not posted twice, and deleted with the videos it describes. No visitor to this site ever signs in to the tool, and it cannot see your Google account.

When you watch our videos on YouTube itself, YouTube’s own rules apply there: the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

Access already granted to the tool can be revoked at any time from Google security settings. Questions about any of this are welcome at contact@modernpanditji.com.

This site is made for people in India, and this policy is written with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 in mind. If you have a question about your rights under the DPDP Act, whether access, correction, erasure or grievance, we welcome it at the same address, contact@modernpanditji.com.
