Publisher and editorial identity
Lagnaya.com is operated by its owner as the publisher of this service. Chandrasiri Rathnayaka is the publishing pen name owned by Lagnaya, not a separate real person or a claimed professional qualification.
iOS advertising and tracking choices
The free iOS app includes Google Mobile Ads SDK 13.11.0 and Google User Messaging Platform 3.1.0. Google advertising starts only after you enable Google ads, satisfy any applicable regional consent, and grant Apple App Tracking Transparency permission. With permission, Google may use advertising/device identifiers, IP-derived approximate location, product/ad interactions, diagnostic, performance and crash data for third-party advertising, advertising measurement, analytics and fraud prevention, and share data with advertising partners. Optional cross-app advertising tracking may link this data to device identifiers. Publisher first-party ID is disabled. If Apple tracking permission is denied or restricted, Google ads are not initialized or requested. All readings remain available. Disable Google ads in app Settings, manage Apple tracking permission in iOS Settings, or reopen regional privacy choices where required. Internal sponsored homepage content may still appear. Birth inputs and your saved lagna are never passed to advertising services. No Firebase Analytics or Google Analytics SDK is included in the apps. Advertising data retention and privacy rights are governed by Google and relevant partners; contact [email protected] for assistance.
iOS morning reminders
Reminders require your optional iOS notification permission. The app schedules seven recurring weekday notifications, each with a randomly selected time between 6:00 and 8:00 AM Asia/Colombo; weekday times are renewed when you reopen the app. This supports a daily reminder without a remote push service. OS Focus, notification summaries or device restrictions can delay or suppress presentation. The message is a reading reminder and does not assert that a new result was uploaded. Tapping opens Lagnaya and your saved sign if available. The preference and notification schedule stay on the device; no push token is collected. Turn reminders off in app Settings or iOS notification settings. Refusal does not restrict readings.
Android advertising choices
The free Android app includes Google Mobile Ads SDK 25.5.0 and Google User Messaging Platform 4.0.0. Google advertising starts only after you select “Allow Google ads” and any applicable regional consent is satisfied. Google may collect IP-derived approximate location, device and advertising identifiers, app/ad interactions, and diagnostics for advertising, measurement, security and fraud prevention, and may share this data with advertising partners. Traffic is encrypted in transit; processing may occur outside Sri Lanka. You can use all readings without Google ads and turn them off in Settings. Regional privacy choices can be reopened where required. Internal homepage sponsorship can still appear. Birth details are never passed to the advertising SDK. The app does not include Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics.
Optional morning notifications
If you choose morning reminders, Android asks for notification permission where required. After permission is granted, the app schedules one local daily reminder at a randomly selected morning time between 6 and 8 AM in Asia/Colombo. Battery restrictions may delay or prevent delivery; late reminders are skipped. Tapping opens Lagnaya, or your saved sign when available. This is a reading reminder, not confirmation that new readings were published. Your choice and scheduling state stay on your device. We do not collect a push token or use a remote push service for these reminders. Turn reminders off in app Settings or Android notification settings. Declining does not restrict readings.
Who we are and scope
Lagnaya.com publishes free daily lagna readings under its publishing pen name, Chandrasiri Rathnayaka. The administrator of Lagnaya is responsible for the personal data described here. Contact [email protected] for privacy enquiries. This policy covers our website and our Android and iOS apps. The Android app is available in Sri Lanka; the public iOS release is awaiting App Store approval. The apps are intended for distribution in Sri Lanka.
Data you provide
No public account is required. If you contact us, we store your name, email address, subject, message, selected language and submission time so we can respond and handle enquiries. We do not publish these messages. Do not include sensitive health, financial, identity or payment information. Birth date, time, birthplace coordinates and time zone entered in the calculator are sent over HTTPS to our server only to perform the calculation. We do not save birth details or build a birth profile. Calculator inputs are not included in URLs or analytics events.
Cookies, local storage and technical data
An essential lagnaya_language cookie stores your website language preference for 365 days. A session cookie supports secure forms and administrator authentication. A lagnaya_analytics cookie remembers your analytics choice for 365 days. The Android app retains language, selected sign, advertising and reminder preferences, and a cache of fetched readings on your device until you clear app data or uninstall. Only readings for the current Colombo date are shown from the cache. Android cloud backup is disabled for the app. The iOS app also keeps these preferences and current-date reading caches locally. They may be included in an operating-system device backup according to your Apple settings; Lagnaya does not operate cloud account sync. Our hosting service receives IP address, browser/device information, requested URL and request time for operation, security and troubleshooting. Rate limiting stores a keyed hash of the IP address rather than a raw IP in our database. We do not request GPS location, contacts, microphone, photos or payment details.
Optional Google Analytics
When the administrator has configured Google Analytics and you choose “Allow analytics”, Google receives usage information, device/browser details, page visits and network-derived information to measure website usage. We disable Google signals and ad-personalization signals in our analytics configuration. Analytics does not load before your consent. You can reject or withdraw consent using “Privacy choices” in the footer; essential readings remain available. Google may process data on servers outside Sri Lanka under its privacy terms.
Advertising: internal ads, AdSense and AdMob
Our internal ads are clearly marked advertisements. Images are hosted by Lagnaya; clicking an ad opens the advertiser’s website, which has its own privacy policy. We do not send contact messages or birth details to advertisers. Google AdSense is not enabled in this initial website version. If it is introduced, Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, IP-derived approximate location and advertising interaction data to provide, personalize and measure ads, prevent fraud and maintain security. We will provide required disclosures and regional consent controls before activating it. App-specific advertising details appear above. iOS advertising details appear above.
Purpose, sharing and international processing
We use information to provide readings and calculator results, respond to messages, keep the service secure, and operate optional analytics and advertising with the required permissions. We rely on consent for optional analytics and contact-form submission, service provision for requested calculations, and legitimate security and operational needs where legally applicable. Service providers such as our hosting provider and Google process data for these purposes; international processing may occur. We require appropriate data-protection safeguards from providers and do not sell your contact messages or birth details. Information may be disclosed when lawfully required or necessary to protect the service and users.
Retention, security and your choices
Contact messages are retained for up to 12 months and are removed by our scheduled retention task, or earlier on a valid deletion request. Expired anti-abuse records are removed by that task. Security logs are managed by the hosting provider; contact us for details about their retention. We use HTTPS, restricted administrator access, password hashing, prepared database queries and request validation. No system is absolutely secure. You may request access, correction, deletion or information about processing by emailing [email protected]. We may verify your request without asking for unnecessary identity documents. You may also have rights to restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, or complain to an applicable supervisory authority. To remove on-device preferences, clear cookies/app data or uninstall. There is no user account to delete.
Children, changes and contact
Lagnaya is a general-audience service and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal data. A parent or guardian can contact us to request deletion if a child submitted information. Advertising and store age declarations will reflect the released apps. We may update this policy as the service changes and will update the date above; material changes will be communicated where appropriate. Privacy questions and deletion requests: [email protected].
