Kāla
privacy policy.
How Kāla handles your information.
Effective July 22, 2026
The short version: Kāla collects no data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads, no trackers, and no third-party SDKs. Nothing you do in Kāla ever leaves your device.
What the app computes, and where
Every calendar value Kāla shows, from tithi end-times to the Mayan Long Count, is calculated by an astronomy engine that runs entirely on your device. The app makes no network requests. It works identically with no internet connection at all.
Location
If you choose Use Current Location, Kāla asks the system for your approximate coordinates and uses them for exactly one purpose: computing sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset and panchāngam timings for where you are. Your location is processed in memory on the device, is never stored beyond the current session, and is never transmitted anywhere.
Location is optional. Decline the permission, or pick a preset city instead, and the app works fully.
What is stored on your device
Only your preferences: theme, chosen city or location mode, week start, and the sounds toggle. They live in the app’s local settings on your device and are included in your normal device backups, which are governed by Apple’s terms, not by us.
Data collection summary
- Personal information collected: none
- Analytics or usage tracking: none

Children
Because Kāla collects no data from anyone, it collects no data from children.
Changes
If a future version of Kāla ever changes any of the above, this policy will be updated before that version ships, with the effective date revised.
