Privacy Policy

The information you enter — including event names, guest names, addresses, phone numbers, gift amounts, and notes — is stored exclusively on your device in a local database (SQLite). The App does not upload it. We operate no server that receives your records, so we cannot view, retrieve, recover, or restore them.

There are two exceptions, and you control both:

• The optional Scan Register feature sends a photo you choose to Google's Gemini service to read its text. See Internet Use and Third-Party Services.
• The optional, paid register digitisation service, where you send us photos of your paper register yourself over WhatsApp or email. See Digitisation Service.

Apart from these, the App does not transmit your data anywhere.

All core features of the App — adding, editing, searching, and exporting your records — work entirely offline. No account, sign-in, or internet connection is required to use them.

The App connects to the internet in only one situation: when you use the optional Scan Register feature to read entries from a photo of a paper register. In that case the selected photo is sent to Google's Gemini service for text recognition, using a Gemini API key that you provide in Settings. The photo is transmitted directly from your device to Google; it does not pass through, and is not stored on, any server operated by us. If you never use the Scan feature, the App itself makes no network requests.

Separately from the App, the Google Play Store checks for and downloads App updates over the network, as it does for every app installed from Google Play. That traffic is handled by Google Play on your device, not by the App, and it carries none of your records. You can control it in the Play Store's own settings.

The only third-party service the App itself uses is Google's Gemini API, and only when you choose to use the optional Scan Register feature. At that point the photo you select is sent to Google to extract its text, under the Gemini API key you configure in Settings. Google's handling of that request is governed by Google's own terms and privacy policy. The App sends Google none of your other data and does not use the Scan feature unless you start it.

The App is distributed through the Google Play Store, so Google Play handles installation, updates and any statistics Google collects about installs. That is Google's processing under Google's own policies; it gives us no access to the records you keep in the App.

Aside from these, the App does not integrate, embed, or use any third-party service, SDK, or library for:

• Analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking
• Advertising or ad networks
• Crash reporting or diagnostics
• Cloud storage, sync, or backup services
• Social media integration
• Push notifications
• Location services
• Device fingerprinting or identification

All data is stored locally on your device using SQLite. The App offers an optional 6-digit PIN lock, which stops an event's records from being edited or deleted; a locked event can still be viewed and exported on the device. This PIN is stored locally using a one-way hash and is never transmitted.

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you are solely responsible for the safety, backup, and preservation of your data. Data may be permanently lost due to:

• Uninstalling or deleting the App
• Factory resetting your device
• Device loss, theft, damage, or hardware failure
• Operating system updates or upgrades
• Clearing the App's data or cache from device settings
• Storage corruption or filesystem errors
• Any other event that results in deletion of local app data

We are not responsible for any data loss, corruption, or unavailability of data for any reason whatsoever. We do not provide data recovery services. We strongly recommend using the App's export feature to create regular backups.

The App allows you to export data as JSON, CSV, or PDF files, and import from JSON or CSV. These files are created on your device and may contain personal information.

You are solely responsible for how you share, store, transmit, or dispose of exported files. We are not responsible for unauthorized access to exported data.

Export is included in the App at no charge in the current version. We reserve the right to change or restrict App features in future updates; if that ever affects export, we will say so on this page and in the App beforehand.

Separately from the App, we offer a paid register digitisation service: you send us photographs of your paper shagun register, and we send back a file you can import into the App. This service is entirely optional, it is not part of the App, and the App never sends anything to it. Everything in this section applies only if you choose to contact us and use it. Details of the service are on the digitisation page.

What we receive. Only what you send us yourself over WhatsApp or email:

• Photographs of your register pages. These normally contain personal data about your guests — names, addresses, contact numbers, relations, gift amounts and anything else written on the page.
• The WhatsApp number or email address you write to us from, and any details you give us about the event so we can prepare the file.

Why we use it. Solely to read the pages, prepare your import file, deliver it to you and answer your messages about the job. We do not use it for advertising, profiling or any mailing list, and we do not sell, rent, publish or pass it to anyone else.

Who handles it. The work is done by Ishan, the developer of Shagun Tracker, in Chandigarh, India. Files are kept on his own devices while the job is in progress.

How long we keep it. Your photographs and the import file we prepare are deleted within 7 days of delivery. Copies that remain in your own WhatsApp chat or email inbox are under your control, not ours; delete them there if you want them gone.

Deleting sooner, or asking what we hold. Write to shaguntracker@gmail.com or reply on the same WhatsApp chat and ask us to delete your photographs. We will delete them and confirm, normally within 48 hours. You can also ask us what we currently hold about you, or ask us to correct it, at the same address. See Contact & Grievances.

The App may request:

• Camera — Only when you choose to photograph a paper register for the Scan feature
• Photos / Media — Only when you choose an existing photo of a register to scan
• Internet — Used only by the Scan feature to send the selected photo to Google for text recognition (see Internet Use)
• File access — Required for importing and exporting data files
• Vibration/Haptics — Used for tactile feedback on actions

The App does not request permissions for microphone, location, contacts, calendar, or any other sensitive features.

The App is not directed at children under 13, and the digitisation service is for adults only. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

The App sends us no user data at all, so nothing you record in it reaches us. The only information we ever hold is what someone sends us directly — an email to us, or photographs sent to the digitisation service. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, write to shaguntracker@gmail.com and we will delete it.

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

• The App will meet your specific requirements
• The App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
• The data stored will be accurate, reliable, or complete
• Any defects will be corrected
• The App will be compatible with future OS versions

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING:

• Loss of data, records, or information
• Loss of profits, revenue, or business opportunities
• Financial losses from inaccurate records
• Damages from inability to access or use the App
• Damages from unauthorized access to your device
• Any other damages arising from use of the App

The App is a personal record-keeping tool. The accuracy of data entered is your responsibility. Records should not be considered legal, financial, or official documents.

We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue the App at any time without prior notice. We are not obligated to maintain, support, or update the App.

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of India. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Chandigarh, India.

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected with an updated date. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of changes.

Questions about this Privacy Policy, requests to see or delete data you have sent us, and any complaint about how we have handled your data all go to the same person:

• Ishan — developer of Shagun Tracker and the contact for data protection and grievances
• Chandigarh, India
• Email: shaguntracker@gmail.com

We acknowledge every message about data or privacy within 48 hours and aim to resolve it as quickly as we can after that. Please include the WhatsApp number or email address you used, so we can find the right files.
