AI Features & Privacy

How Pandit Ji uses your data for AI

Pandit Ji's AI features — Ask the Pandit and Daily Guidance — are designed with a simple principle: your personal data is yours. Here is exactly what is sent, when, and why.

Last updated: May 2026

📱
Stored on your device
Your birth date, time, place, and family member profiles are saved locally on your phone. They are never uploaded to Pandit Ji's servers.
🔒
Sent only when you ask
Your birth data is only included in an AI request at the moment you ask a question or generate a reading — not in the background.
🎛️
You control what is shared
Go to Settings → AI Preferences to choose exactly which details — birth chart, family members, location — are included in AI requests.
🚫
Not used for advertising
Your birth data and conversations with the Pandit are never sold, shared with advertisers, or used to build a profile about you.

What is sent with each AI request

When you ask a question or generate your daily reading, the following context is assembled on your device and sent to the AI. You can reduce this in AI Preferences.

What is never sent

The following information is never transmitted to any server, by any feature of Pandit Ji:

📵Your phone number or Apple/Google account details
💳Payment information or subscription details
📍Precise real-time GPS location (the app uses your saved city, not live GPS coordinates)
📷Photos, contacts, messages, or any other app data
🔑Your birth data, when you have not enabled the birth profile AI preference

Who processes your data

Pandit Ji's AI features are powered by Anthropic's Claude. When you ask a question, the context described above is sent to Anthropic's API to generate a response. Anthropic's data processing is governed by their Privacy Policy.

The request passes through Pandit Ji's backend (hosted on Supabase) only to authenticate your credit balance and apply rate limits. The content of your question and your personal context is not stored on Pandit Ji's servers beyond the duration of the request.

How to manage your AI preferences

  1. 1Open Pandit Ji and go to Settings (gear icon on the Today screen)
  2. 2Tap AI Preferences to see which data is currently shared with AI features
  3. 3Toggle off any item — birth chart, family members — you prefer to keep private. Changes apply immediately.
  4. 4On the Ask the Pandit screen, use the Include family toggle to control per-question whether your Parivar context is included.

To remove your birth data entirely, go to Settings → Birth Information and clear all fields, then tap Save. Your data lives only on your device, so clearing it there is sufficient.

Coming soon: A one-tap Delete birth profile button is on its way to Settings → Birth Information, making this even simpler.
