Whose data this is
Some of what this service is asked to calculate is about a child rather than about you. The baby name finder and the rashi calculator take a birth date and, if you know it, a birth time, and work out the Moon's nakshatra and pada — the traditional basis for choosing a naming syllable at the Namakaran. The person those details describe is usually a newborn. A child's date and time of birth is personal data about that child, not about the adult typing it, and this section describes it on those terms rather than folding it into the birth details above.
Who may enter it
Only a child's parent or guardian. Entering a child's birth details is you giving consent on that child's behalf, as the person entitled to give it. If you are not the child's parent or guardian, do not enter their details.
What we can and cannot check
Where we keep a child's details we ask you to state, on an account you have signed in to, that you are that child's parent or guardian — and we store that statement as a dated record. It is an attestation, not an identity check: it says who made the claim and when, and it is attached to a real signed-in account, but we have no way to verify that you are the parent and we do not claim to. There is no age gate and no identity document anywhere on this service. We would rather describe it accurately than use a word it has not earned.
What it is used for
Calculating the answer you asked for, and nothing else. It is not used to build a profile of the child, is not used to train any model, is not used to target anything at anyone, and is not sold or shared.
The naming tools store nothing
Both are plain forms with no JavaScript: what you type goes into the web address and the same page is re-calculated from it. Nothing is written to a database, nothing is attached to an account, and no account is needed to use them. We also tell every cache along the way — your browser's, your network's, our CDN's — not to store a filled-in address or the page computed from it, so a result worked out on a shared or family device is not sitting there for the next person. When the page has been sent, we hold no copy — with one exception, which is the next paragraph, because a policy that stopped here would be telling you something slightly too good.
The exception: our server log
Every web server records the addresses it is asked for, and because these two tools carry what you typed in the address, a child's birth date and time appear in that access log. Nothing reads those entries, nothing is built from them, and they reach no third party — but they exist, and we would rather say so than let you assume otherwise. We do not currently state a retention period for that log and will not invent one here; if you want an entry removed, ask us at lapaasindia@gmail.com. It is also why these pages ask search engines not to index a filled-in address, and why our analytics drops every part of an address except a city name: a birth date or birth time is never sent to Google.
If you buy a report for a child
A paid report is calculated from whichever birth details you submit, and people do buy them for a child. This is the one place we keep a child's details, because it is how you re-open a report you paid for. When the person the report is about is under eighteen, we keep that copy only if you are signed in and have stated that you are their parent or guardian; then the name, birth moment and birth place are held for 90 days and deleted. If you have not stated it, we do not keep the report at all: it is generated and delivered to you, stays open for 24 hours so you can read, download or print it, and is then erased — nothing is stored against your account and nothing is listed in your report history. The screen that puts that question to you is still being built, so at the moment every report about a child takes the 24-hour path. How the consent works explains it in full.
Taking that consent back
You can withdraw it at any time, and withdrawing it deletes the reports it allowed — the stored copy and the document itself, not just the permission. Deleting your account removes both as well. How the consent record works sets out exactly what the record contains and how to withdraw it.
The "train your chart" questionnaire no longer asks about children
It used to ask for each child's date of birth and gender, and store them. Those questions have been removed, and the answers already given have been deleted from both places they were held. We removed them rather than asking for consent to keep them, because nothing in the product actually read them. The questionnaire still asks how many children you have, which is a fact about you and identifies nobody.
The Child Report does not ask for a child's details
Worth saying plainly, because the name suggests otherwise. It reads the fifth house, the Saptamsa divisional chart and Jupiter in the chart you submit — your own. It never asks for a child's birth date or time and cannot be run on a child's chart.
Nothing here is aimed at children as users
Swarn Siddhi is not intended for children under 13, and nothing in it is designed to appeal to a child: there is no child-facing content, no child account, and no way for a child to sign themselves up. Where a child appears in this service, they appear as the subject of an adult's question, not as a user of it. If you believe a child has used the service themselves, or that a child's details were entered by somebody not entitled to enter them, write to lapaasindia@gmail.com and we will delete what we hold.
