We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not use your questionnaire responses or algorithm results for any purpose other than providing you with your personalised results.

• Database security: Our database is hosted on Neon's secure cloud infrastructure with encryption at rest
• Access controls: Access to user data is restricted to essential operations and authorised personnel only

While we implement commercially reasonable security measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data, but we are committed to protecting it to the best of our ability.

The Life Purpose Algorithm service is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and older. We verify age during the questionnaire process and do not knowingly process Life Purpose Algorithm data for users under 18.

General educational and devotional content on the Platform (stotras, articles, philosophical texts) is accessible without age restriction and does not require the collection of personal data.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take prompt steps to delete such information. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@bhairavaaradhyaa.com.

Our Platform serves users globally. Your data may be processed and stored in regions where our service providers operate, including but not limited to the United States (Firebase/Google, Vercel, Stripe), India (Instamojo), and the European Union (Brevo, Neon).

When your data is transferred to countries outside your country of residence, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. Our third-party service providers maintain compliance with applicable data protection regulations in their respective jurisdictions.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on the Platform or via email to registered users.
