Introduction
Naamakaran.com ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at naamakaran.com and use our Vedic baby naming tools. We encourage you to read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data. By using our platform, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not access our website.
Data We Collect
We collect information that you provide directly to us when you create an account, use our naming tools, or contact us. This includes: (a) Account Information — your name, email address, and password when you register for an account. (b) Birth Details — date, time, and place of birth that you enter into our Kundli generator for astrological calculations. These details are processed entirely in-memory by our ephemeris engine and are never stored in our database or server logs. (c) Shortlist Data — names you save to your personal shortlist, which are stored in your browser's local storage and optionally synced to your account if you are logged in. (d) Contact Information — your name and email address when you submit enquiries through our contact form. (e) Usage Data — we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our site, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits.
How We Use Your Data
We use the information we collect for the following purposes: (a) To provide our naming services — calculating Rashi, Nakshatra, and numerology results based on the birth details you enter. (b) To personalise your experience — saving your shortlisted names and language preferences. (c) To communicate with you — responding to your enquiries, sending service-related notifications, and providing customer support. (d) To improve our platform — analysing aggregate usage patterns to enhance our tools, content, and user experience. (e) To display relevant advertising — using anonymised data to serve contextual advertisements through Google AdSense and other advertising partners. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services and Advertising
We work with the following third-party service providers who may collect data in connection with our website: (a) Google AdSense — displays contextual advertisements on our pages. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. (b) Razorpay — processes payments for premium features.

(c) Analytics Services — we may use analytics tools to understand aggregate user behaviour. These services collect anonymised data and do not identify individual users. Each of these third-party providers operates under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Account information is retained for the lifetime of your account. If you delete your account, all associated personal data will be permanently removed from our systems within 30 days. Birth details entered into our Kundli generator are never stored — they are processed in real-time and discarded immediately after the astrological calculation is complete. Contact enquiries and associated correspondence are retained for up to 12 months for quality assurance purposes, after which they are permanently deleted. Usage data and analytics are retained in anonymised, aggregate form and cannot be linked back to individual users.
Your Rights Under GDPR and Indian Data Protection Law
If you are located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or India, you have certain rights regarding your personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA). These rights include: (a) Right of Access — you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. (b) Right to Rectification — you may request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data. (c) Right to Erasure — you may request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions. (d) Right to Restrict Processing — you may request that we limit how we use your data.

Children's Privacy
Our website is designed to be used by adults (parents and family members) seeking naming guidance for their children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU/UK). The birth details entered into our tools are those of infants and are provided by their parents or guardians. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child without parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL, secure server infrastructure, and access controls that limit who can view or modify personal data. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or industry standards. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our website.
