Hisab Pagar - Privacy Policy

Introduction

Hisab Pagar ("we", "our", or "the app") is a staff attendance tracking and salary management app. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data.

Data Stored on Your Device

Hisab Pagar is an offline-first application. The business records you enter into the app — including business details, staff information, attendance records, salary data and cashbook entries — are stored locally on your device. We do not upload these records to our servers, and the app works without an internet connection.

Information We Collect

To understand how the app is used and to improve it, the app sends a limited amount of information to us when your device is online:

• Usage events — which screens are opened and which actions are performed (for example "staff added", "attendance marked", "report shared"), together with non-personal details such as the type or count involved. We do not send salary amounts, payment amounts, or your staff members' names or phone numbers as part of these events.
• Device and app information — device model, operating system version, app version, language, IP address, and an anonymous identifier generated by the app.
• Your mobile number (optional) — if you choose to enter your own mobile number during setup or when prompted, we store it and link it to your usage information so that we can contact you for feedback and support. You can skip this; the app works fully without it.

We do not collect precise (GPS) location. Our analytics provider estimates an approximate location (city and country) from your IP address. We do not show advertising, and we do not sell your information.

Other Apps on Your Phone (only with your permission)

Once, after you add staff, the app asks whether it may check if certain apps are installed on your phone. If you tap Allow, the app checks only this fixed list — WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, OkCredit, Khatabook, Vyapar and PagarBook — and sends a yes/no for each to our analytics provider, at most once a week. It cannot see any other apps, and it never reads anything inside these apps (no messages, contacts, payments or accounts). We use this only to understand how businesses pay their staff and to decide what to build next; it is not used for advertising and is not sold or shared with anyone else. If you tap No thanks, nothing is checked. You can turn this off at any time in Settings → Privacy → Check apps on this phone; the app then stops checking and removes these yes/no values from our analytics. You can also contact us at the address below.

AI Summary (optional feature)

If you tap the AI Summary button, the app sends that month's figures for the selected business — business name, staff names, attendance counts, and earned, paid and due amounts — over an encrypted connection to our server, which forwards them to Google's Gemini service to generate the summary text. We do not store this data on our server. Nothing is sent unless you use this feature.

Google Drive Backup (optional feature)

If you turn on automatic backup, you sign in with your Google account and the app saves a copy of your data (businesses, staff, attendance, payments, advances, cashbook and settings) to the app-data folder of your own Google Drive. This folder is private to Hisab Pagar: the app cannot see any of your other Drive files, and Google deletes the folder if you remove the app's access from your Google account. The backup is refreshed about once a day when you open the app and is used to restore your data when you reinstall the app or change phones. We store your Google account email address on your device to show which account is connected; it is not sent to us. You can turn this off at any time from Settings → Backup. Hisab Pagar's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Third-Party Services

We use the following service providers to process the information described above:

• PostHog (product analytics) — receives usage events, device and app information, your mobile number if you provided it, and — only if you allowed it — which of the listed apps are installed. Data is hosted in the United States. PostHog privacy policy
• Google Gemini via our Cloudflare-hosted server — only when you use the AI Summary feature. Google privacy policy
• Google Drive — only if you turn on automatic backup. Your backup file is stored in your own Google Drive account, not on our servers. Google privacy policy

Hisab Pagar does not integrate with any advertising services.

Data Security

Your business records are stored locally on your device, so their security depends on the security of your device. We recommend using device-level security features such as screen locks and encryption. Information sent to us is transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS) connections.

Data Deletion

You can delete all business records at any time by clearing the app's data through your device settings or by uninstalling the app. Once deleted, these records cannot be recovered as we do not store any backups of them on external servers.

To have your mobile number and the usage information linked to it deleted, email us at the address below from any email account and include the mobile number you entered. We will delete it within 30 days.

Children's Privacy

Hisab Pagar is not directed at children under the age of 13. The app is designed for business owners and managers to track staff attendance and salaries.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
