Privacy Policy

Who we are

Sarathi (“we”, “the app”) is an application that offers reflective guidance grounded in the Bhagavad Gita, together with a 100-day reading journey. This policy explains what information the app handles and why.

Information we do not collect

We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or date of birth. We do not collect contacts, photos, location, or device identifiers for advertising.

Most importantly: the dilemma you describe is not stored on our servers. It is transmitted so that guidance can be composed for you, and it is not retained by us afterwards.

Information we do handle

• The text you submit. Your dilemma and any follow-up question are sent to our server and on to our AI provider solely to compose your guidance. We do not save this text to a database.
• Anonymous usage records. When guidance is generated we may record a general category (for example, "career" or "family"), a broad age range, a general role, and a country — with no identifier attaching these to you and never the text you wrote. This helps us understand which kinds of situations the app is used for.
• Technical logs. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, which may include IP address and request time, for security and to prevent abuse. These are retained only for a short period.
• Usage limits. To control cost and prevent misuse we count requests against a device or network address. This counting uses a random identifier and does not identify you personally.

Information stored on your device

Some things are saved in your browser or app storage, on your device only. These never reach our servers and are removed if you clear your app data.

• Saved counsel. Your recent guidance, kept so you can reopen it.
• Journey progress. Which days of the 100-Day Journey you have completed.
• Preferences. Language choice, and whether you have seen the introduction.

You can remove all of it at any time using the clear options in the app, or by clearing the app’s data in your device settings.

Service providers

We use a small number of providers to operate the app: a hosting provider that serves the site and runs our server code, and an AI provider that composes the guidance from the text you submit. Text sent for this purpose is processed under that provider’s terms and is not used by us for any other purpose.

Children

Sarathi is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. Younger users should use the app with a parent or guardian.

Your choices

Because we do not hold an account or a profile for you, there is generally no personal data for us to retrieve or delete. You can clear everything the app has stored on your device at any time. If you have a question about your information, contact us at the address below.

Not a medical or professional service

Sarathi offers reflection, not treatment. It is not therapy, counselling in the clinical sense, or medical, legal, or financial advice, and it is not a crisis service. If you are in distress or danger, please contact a qualified professional or your local emergency services.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
