Pakshi Aura is built to know as little about you as possible. The app has no account, no sign-up, and no server database. Your birth details stay on your device. They are sent once — to calculate your birth star — and are not stored on our servers. This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics.
To find your bird, the app can use your birth date, time and place, or your birth star, or your name's first syllable. Whatever you enter is stored only on your device, in the app's local database. We have no copy. Deleting the app's data or uninstalling the app destroys it.
If you use the full birth-details route, your birth date, time and location are sent one time over an encrypted connection to our calculation service, which passes them to an astrology calculation provider (Prokerala) to resolve your birth star. The result comes back to your device. Neither we nor the provider keep your birth details on a server — the call is compute-and-return. This is disclosed in the app at the moment it happens.
The Today screen can use your device's location to place your local sunrise and sunset correctly. This permission is optional — you can pick your city by hand instead, from a database that ships inside the app. Your location is used for the calculation on your device; it is not a tracking signal.
pakshiaura.com is a static site. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and has no forms — we do not collect anything here, and there is nowhere on this site to enter birth information. The site is served through Cloudflare, whose edge network processes visitor IP addresses transiently as part of serving any website behind it (see Cloudflare's privacy policy).
Everything the app knows about you lives on your device. Delete a profile in the app, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the app — each removes the data it covers, immediately and permanently. There is no server copy to ask us to delete. Details: pakshiaura.com/data-deletion/.
Pakshi Aura is a general-audience reference app for a traditional Tamil timing system. It is not directed at children, and it has no chat, no social features, and no data collection that would make it unsafe for them.
If a future version of the app adds accounts or subscriptions, this policy will be revised before that version ships, and the effective date above will change. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
