Grahlok

Privacy Policy

Effective 7 October 2026

Grahlok is a Vedic astrology app made by Portyx (Harshil Patel, India). This policy explains what the Grahlok apps for iPhone, Android and the web do with your information. In short: your birth details and charts stay on your device, and we never sell your data or use it for advertising.

What stays on your device

• Names, birth dates, times and places of you and the people you add (family, partners, matches).
• Your Kundlis, readings, reports and settings. All astrology is calculated on your device.
• Your chat history with the AI astrologer.

Deleting the app, or a profile inside it, deletes this data. We have no copy of it.

What is sent to our server, and why

• AI astrologer questions. When you ask a question, the question and a summary of the relevant chart (planet positions, dashas, today's transits; not your name) are sent to our server and passed to Google's Gemini AI to write the answer. Your name is included only if you turn on "Share my first name" in Ask. We do not store the question or the answer.
• Palm reading. The palm photo you choose is sent to our server and to Google Gemini to read the lines. It is not stored after the reading is returned.
• Voice. If you speak a question, the recording is sent to Google Gemini to turn it into text. If you play an answer aloud, the answer's text is sent to ElevenLabs to make the voice. Neither is stored by us.
• Fair-use counters. To keep the free service fair, the app sends a random identifier created on your device, and our server counts how many AI answers and palm readings it has used. The identifier is not linked to your name, email or Apple ID.
• Usage totals. We count daily totals (for example, the number of AI answers given) without linking them to any person.

Web sign-in

The web app asks for your email address to send a one-time sign-in code. We keep the email with your free-period dates so you can sign in again. We do not send marketing email. If you join the app waitlist, we keep that email only to tell you when the app is available.

Service providers

About Google Gemini. We use Gemini under Google's terms for its free API tier, which allow Google to keep and use the content sent to it (questions, palm photos and voice recordings) to improve its products. Please don't include anything in a question that you would not want stored by Google.

Our server runs on Vercel and stores the counters above in a Postgres database. AI answers, palm readings and speech-to-text use Google Gemini. Spoken answers use ElevenLabs. Sign-in emails are sent with Resend. Each provider processes data only to provide its service to us.

What we don't do

• No advertising and no ad tracking. We do not use the advertising identifier.
• No selling or sharing of personal data with data brokers.
• No access to your contacts, location history or photos beyond the single photo you choose for a palm reading. The app may use your device's location, only if you allow it, to find your city for sunrise and Panchang times; your phone's own map service turns it into a city name, and we never receive it.

Place search

When you type a birth place, the text you type is sent to the Open-Meteo geocoding service to list matching towns. Nothing else is sent with it.

Children

Grahlok is not directed at children under 13.

Your choices

You can use Grahlok without the AI features; the app then sends nothing to our server. To delete your web account or waitlist email, or to ask what we hold, email support@grahlok.com and we will act within 30 days.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
