Astro Dasha Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Astro Dasha is an astrology application published by Dogster Technologies Private Limited ("Dogster", "we", "us" or "our"), a company incorporated in India, which publishes consumer applications under the name Felicity Interactive. Our registered office is at Building No. 1507, 19th Main Road, 11th Cross Road, HSR Layout, Sector 1, Bengaluru – 560102, Karnataka, India (CIN U62013KA2023PTC175867; GSTIN 29AAKCD1526D1ZU).

This policy explains what personal data Astro Dasha collects, why, who it is shared with, how long we keep it and what you can ask us to do with it. It applies to the Astro Dasha mobile application and to the pages for Astro Dasha on felicityinteractive.com (together, the "Service"). Each of our other apps has its own privacy policy describing that app's practices.

This policy forms part of our Terms of Use. By installing or using Astro Dasha you confirm that you have read it. Where the law requires your consent for a particular use of your data, we ask for that consent separately and you may withdraw it at any time.

2. Definitions

• Birth Details means your date of birth, time of birth and place of birth, and the same details for any other person whose chart you create.
• Personal data means any data about you by which you are identifiable, as defined in the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
• Processing means any operation performed on personal data, including collection, storage, use, sharing and erasure.
• Service Provider means a third party that processes personal data on our instructions in order to help us run the Service.
• You means the individual using Astro Dasha. Where you are under 18, it also means your parent or lawful guardian.

3. Your Birth Details

Astro Dasha cannot generate a kundli, a dasha timeline or a personalised reading without your Birth Details. They are the most personal thing this app holds, so we set out separately how we treat them.

• We ask for them only when you choose to generate a chart or a personalised reading. You can use the general parts of the app — daily rashifal by sign, panchang, festival dates and muhurat — without giving us any Birth Details at all.
• We use them only to perform astrological calculations and to show you the results. We do not use Birth Details to profile you for advertising, we do not sell them, and we do not share them with anyone for their own purposes.
• We do not infer anything about your health, finances, relationships or beliefs from them, and we do not treat the content of a reading as a record about you.
• Where they are stored: on our servers in India, against your account, so that your saved profiles and charts stay available and up to date across your devices. Birth Details are encrypted when they travel between the app and our servers and while they are stored on our servers. Access is limited to authorised personnel who need it to operate, maintain or support the Service, and to our hosting provider only to the extent needed to host the Service. No one else has access to them.
• Charts you create for other people. If you enter someone else's Birth Details, you confirm that you have their permission to do so. You are responsible for that; we have no relationship with that person and no way to reach them.
• You can delete them at any time, separately from deleting your account, from within the app or by writing to us. Deleting a saved profile removes its Birth Details and the charts generated from them.

4. Information We Collect

We collect only what Astro Dasha needs in order to work.

Permissions

Each permission is requested only when you use the feature that needs it, and you can withdraw it at any time in your device settings.

• Notifications — for reminders you have asked for, such as a daily rashifal or a muhurat alert, and for notices about your subscription.
• Internet — to load content and sync your account.
• Storage — only if you choose to save or share a chart image.

Astro Dasha does not ask for your contacts, your precise location, your microphone or your camera. Where you enter a place of birth, it is text you type or select from a list of places — we do not read your device's location to fill it in.

5. How We Use Your Information

• To provide the Service — performing astrological calculations, generating charts and readings, and showing panchang, rashifal, festival and muhurat information.
• To run your account and subscription — registration, sign-in, access to what you have paid for, collecting payments, issuing invoices and making refunds.
• To communicate with you — service and transactional messages about your account, payments and subscription. Marketing messages are sent only with your consent and always carry an easy way to opt out.
• To keep the Service safe and lawful — detecting and preventing fraud, abuse and security incidents, and complying with the law and with lawful orders.
• To improve the Service — understanding which features are used and diagnosing faults. Wherever this can be done with de-identified or aggregated data, we use that instead of personal data.

We do not use your personal data or your Birth Details to train machine-learning models, and we do not make decisions about you by automated means that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Astrological readings are generated content, not decisions about you.

6. Lawful Basis and Your Consent

We process your personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Information Technology Act, 2000. We rely on your consent, given at the point we ask for the data, except where we are processing for a legitimate use permitted by law — for example to comply with a legal obligation or respond to a lawful order.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to us at the address in section 16. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything we did lawfully before you withdrew it, and we may still need to keep records the law requires. If withdrawing consent means we can no longer provide part of the Service, we will tell you.

7. Who We Share Your Information With

We do not sell your personal data, we do not share your Birth Details with anyone for their own purposes, and we do not share your data with data brokers. Where we share data with advertising partners, it is to measure and attribute our own campaigns, as set out below.

We also share personal data where required by law, by a court or by a government agency acting under lawful authority; where necessary to enforce our Terms of Use or protect the rights, property or safety of any person; and in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of assets, in which case the recipient is bound to handle your data under a policy no less protective than this one.

8. Your Rights

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you have the right to:

• Know what we hold — a summary of the personal data we process about you and what we do with it.
• Correct it — have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected, completed or updated. This includes correcting Birth Details you entered wrongly.
• Have it erased — including deleting a saved birth profile and the charts generated from it, separately from closing your account.
• Nominate someone — name another individual to exercise these rights on your behalf if you die or become incapable of exercising them.
• Withdraw consent — as described in section 6.
• Be heard — a grievance redressal process, set out in section 15.

To exercise any of these, write to grievance@felicityinteractive.com from the email address registered on your account. We will verify who you are and respond within thirty (30) days.

Deleting your account

You can ask us to delete your Astro Dasha account at any time by emailing support@felicityinteractive.com from your registered email address. We will verify the request and delete the account within thirty (30) days, except for records we are required to keep by law.

Important: deleting your account, or uninstalling the app, does not cancel a UPI AutoPay mandate. Your bank will keep honouring the mandate until you revoke it in your UPI application. Section 14 of the Terms of Use explains how.

9. How Long We Keep Your Information

We may keep de-identified or aggregated information, which cannot be linked back to you, for analysis and product improvement.

10. Cross-Border Transfer

Astro Dasha is operated from India and your personal data is held in India. Some of our Service Providers may process data outside India; where they do, we remain responsible for it and transfer it only to countries not restricted by the Central Government under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and under contractual terms requiring protection consistent with this policy.

11. Security

We take reasonable security safeguards to protect your personal data, including encryption of data in transit, encryption at rest of Birth Details held on our servers, access controls limiting access to personnel and Service Providers who need it, confidentiality obligations on those who have access, and internal review of our systems. No system can be guaranteed completely secure, and we do not claim otherwise.

If a personal data breach occurs, we will notify the Data Protection Board of India and affected users as required by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the rules made under it.

12. Children

Astro Dasha accounts and subscriptions are for people aged eighteen (18) and over. A child may use the app only through an account held by their parent or lawful guardian, who accepts our Terms of Use on the child's behalf.

Consistent with section 9 of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, we process a child's personal data only with the verifiable consent of a parent or lawful guardian, and we do not carry out behavioural tracking, profiling or targeted advertising directed at children. If we learn that a child's data has reached us without that consent, we will delete it and close the account.

13. Links to Other Services

Astro Dasha may link to or open third-party services, including your UPI application and the app store. Those services are operated by others and are governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read. We are not responsible for how they handle your data.

14. Changes to this Policy

We may update this policy. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above and post the revised policy here. Where a change materially affects your rights or significantly changes how we use your data — including any change to how Birth Details are stored or shared — we will give you at least fifteen (15) days' notice by email or an in-app notice before it takes effect, and where the law requires it we will ask for your consent again. Previous versions are archived and available on request.

15. Grievance Redressal

In accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and Rule 3(2) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, the details of our Grievance Officer are:

We acknowledge every complaint within twenty-four (24) hours, give you a reference number, and dispose of it within fifteen (15) days. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled a complaint about your personal data, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India. If your complaint concerns a payment, the escalation route is set out at the end of section 14 of the Terms of Use.

16. Contact Us
