Your puja, your business.
SahiVidhi has no accounts and no ads. Here is everything the site stores or sends.
Kept only on your phone or computer
- Your chosen city, and whether you want Hindu, Jain or both.
- The samagri items you tick off in a checklist.
These stay in your browser. Clearing your browser data removes them. We never see them.
Sent to other services, only when you use a feature
- Your starting city: on your first visit, Cloudflare (which runs our website) tells your browser the rough city of your internet connection, so the dates and times start out right for you. It is worked out from your connection, not your device's GPS, and we don't store it. You can change the city any time.
- Searching for a city: the name you type is sent to Open-Meteo ↗ to find it on the map.
- "Use my location": your browser asks first. The location is used on your device to work out sunrise and tithi times; it is not sent to us.
- Asking Sahayak: your question is sent to our server and answered by an AI model running on Cloudflare. We do not save your questions with your name, and we don't use them for advertising. Please don't type private details such as phone numbers.
- WhatsApp buttons: open WhatsApp with a message you can read and edit before sending.
- Calendar subscription: your calendar app downloads our festival list about once a day.
Counting visits (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand which guides help people, where visitors come from (for example search, WhatsApp or Instagram), and where the site is confusing. It records things like the pages you open, the buttons you tap, your general region and device, and the city and tradition you choose on the site.
- It never receives your name, phone number, or the text of questions you ask Sahayak.
- Advertising features and Google signals are switched off. Your IP address is not stored by Google Analytics.
- Visitors in Europe and the UK are asked first, and nothing is stored unless they agree.
- You can also block it with any ad blocker, or with Google's opt-out add-on ↗.
What we never do
- No selling or sharing of personal data.
- No advertising, and no advertising cookies.
- No sign-up needed to read any guide.
