Introduction
App & Developer Information
Welcome to VastuVision AR (also referred to as VastuSense) — an AI-powered Vastu guidance and spiritual wellness application designed to bring ancient wisdom into modern living. This application is developed and operated by vartika krishna.
We understand that your home is your sanctuary, and the data related to it is deeply personal. This Privacy Policy explains how VastuVision AR (VastuSense) handles your information with the utmost respect and transparency.
Our commitment: Your data stays on your device. VastuVision AR (VastuSense) is built with an offline-first architecture, meaning most operations happen locally without requiring internet connectivity or cloud storage.
By using VastuVision AR (VastuSense), you agree to this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read it carefully to understand how we protect your privacy.
Information We Collect
VastuVision AR (VastuSense) collects minimal information, and most of it stays entirely on your device:
Camera Access (Optional)
Used for scanning your home's main entrance to detect directional alignment.
Compass & Motion Sensors
For accurate directional measurements and Vastu orientation analysis.
Location (Optional)
Enhances Panchang accuracy for sunrise, sunset, and auspicious timing calculations.
Room Layout Data
Your home floor plans and room arrangements, stored locally.
User Preferences
App settings, theme choices, and notification preferences.
Important: VastuVision AR (VastuSense) primarily works offline. Most features do not require an internet connection.
Camera Permission Usage
The camera permission allows VastuVision AR (VastuSense) to scan your main entrance and detect directional alignment for Vastu analysis.
What We Do
- •Process images locally on your device
- •Extract directional data only
- •Allow you to revoke permission anytime
What We Never Do
- •Upload images to external servers
- •Store photos permanently
- •Share your home images with anyone
Camera permission is optional. You can manually enter directional information if you prefer not to grant camera access.
Compass & Sensor Data
VastuVision AR (VastuSense) uses your device's built-in compass and motion sensors to determine precise directional orientation — a fundamental requirement for accurate Vastu analysis.
Compass readings help identify North, South, East, and West directions relative to your home.
Motion sensor data assists in detecting device tilt and orientation for 3D room mapping.
All sensor data is processed in real-time and remains on your device.
No sensor data is ever transmitted to external servers or shared with third parties.
Location Permission
Location access is entirely optional and is used to enhance the accuracy of Panchang (Hindu calendar) features, including:
- •Precise sunrise and sunset timings for your region
- •Auspicious time (Muhurat) calculations based on local coordinates
- •Regional spiritual event reminders
Important Clarifications:
No continuous tracking: We only access your location when you explicitly request Panchang features.
Coarse location only: We use approximate location (city-level) — not precise GPS coordinates.
Revocable anytime: You can deny or revoke location permission at any time through device settings.
Local Storage Policy
All sensitive user data in VastuVision AR (VastuSense) is stored locally on your device using secure, encrypted storage mechanisms.
What is Stored Locally:
- Home floor plans and room layouts you create

- Personal preferences and app settings

This data is never uploaded to cloud servers unless you explicitly enable optional backup features (which will be clearly disclosed if implemented in future versions).
Your device is the sole custodian of your home and spiritual data.
