Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how AstroMystery.ai Pvt. Ltd. (“AstroMystery”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you use the Margam Pro mobile application (the “App”) available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Margam Pro is a professional-grade astrology application designed for practising astrologers, serious students, and enthusiasts. It computes horary and natal charts, generates significators, performs cuspal and sub-lord analysis, and produces predictive reports based on classical rules.
We take your privacy seriously and have designed Margam Pro to collect only the information necessary to deliver its features. This policy is written to comply with the Apple App Store privacy disclosure requirements, the Google Play Data Safety requirements, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 of India (DPDP Act), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable.

3.5 Payment and Billing Information
Margam Pro uses Apple StoreKit on iOS, Google Play Billing on Android, and Razorpay for web-based purchases. We do not see, store, or process your full payment card number, CVV, UPI PIN, or bank credentials. Those are handled directly by the payment processor.
From the payment provider we receive only:
- A transaction or order identifier
- Purchase status (success, failure, refunded)
- Product purchased, amount, currency, and tax components
- Last four digits of card or masked instrument identifier, where the processor exposes it, for your reference on receipts
3.6 Information We Do NOT Collect
We want to be explicit about what Margam Pro does not collect:
- We do not collect precise GPS location in the background.
- We do not access your photo library, contacts, calendar, microphone, or call logs unless you explicitly invoke a feature that needs them (for example, attaching a chart image).
- We do not collect biometric data.
- We do not collect or infer sensitive personal data such as caste, religion, sexual orientation, political opinions, or health records.
- We do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites for advertising. Margam Pro contains no third-party advertising SDKs.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information described in Section 3 for the following purposes:
- To create and maintain your Margam Pro account.
- To compute charts, significators, cuspal sub-lords, dasa periods, and predictive outputs.
- To save your charts and queries so you can retrieve and refine them later.
- To operate the credit wallet, including purchases, deductions per feature, refunds, and balance display.
- To deliver transactional communications such as receipts, password resets, and security alerts.
- To investigate crashes, fix bugs, and measure App performance.
- To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and violation of our Terms of Service.
- To comply with applicable legal, accounting, tax, and regulatory obligations.
We do not use your astrological inputs, charts, or queries to train any generic large language model that is exposed outside Margam Pro. Any AI features inside the App that use your inputs are scoped to your own session and account.
