Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 July 2026 · Version 1.1

Short version. SmartConnect ek offline app hai. Aapka business card aur jo cards aapko milte hain — sab kuch sirf aapke phone par store hote hain. Hamara koi server nahi hai, koi user account nahi hai, aur hum aapka data kabhi bechte nahi.

Ye Privacy Policy batati hai ki SmartConnect app ("the app", "we", "us"), jo Codian Studio publish karta hai, aapki information ke saath kya karta hai. App use karke aap is policy se sehmat hote hain.

01Information stored on your device

Digital business card share karne ke liye app ye cheezein sirf aapke phone par store karta hai:

Wo card details jo aap khud bharte ho — naam, phone number, email, aur social/website links.
Jo cards aapko doosre logon se milte hain jab aap contacts exchange karte ho.
Aapki in-app settings — card style, colours, privacy toggles aur app-lock PIN.

Ye sab app ki private storage mein rehta hai aur kisi SmartConnect server par upload nahi hota — kyunki hum aisa koi server chalate hi nahi.

02Information shared directly between phones

Jab aap NFC, Bluetooth ya QR se card share karte ho, sirf wahi fields transmit hoti hain jinhe aapne visible mark kiya hai — aur wo seedha saamne wale ke phone par jaati hain. Beech mein humse kuch nahi guzarta. Koi field tabhi exchange hoti hai jab dono log use visible rakhein (mutual privacy).

03Phone number verification (optional)

Number ko verified mark karne ke liye app ye use kar sakti hai:

Truecaller SDK — agar aap Truecaller se verify karna chunte ho, to aapka number Truecaller process karta hai, unki Privacy Policy ke tehat. Humein sirf ek verified naam/number token wapas milta hai.
Google Phone Number Hint / Play Services — aapka apna SIM number suggest karne ke liye, taaki aapko type na karna pade. Ye Google Play Services handle karta hai, Google ki privacy terms ke tehat.

Agar dono mein se kisi tareeke se verify na ho paaye, to number Unverified dikhta hai aur receiver ko do baar confirm ("double-allow") karna padta hai us number ko lene ke liye.

04Device permissions

Permission	Kis liye	Zaroori?
NFC	Tap se card exchange	Core feature
Bluetooth / BLE	Nearby devices dhoondhna aur card bhejna	Core feature
Camera	Sirf QR scan — image na store hoti hai na upload	Optional
Contacts	Sirf tab jab aap mila hua card phone contacts mein save karo	Optional
Notifications	Incoming card request ka alert	Optional

Permission tabhi maangi jaati hai jab uski zaroorat pade, aur optional permissions diye bina bhi app chalti hai.

05Data we do NOT collect

Core app se hum analytics, location, advertising identifier ya browsing history kuch bhi collect nahi karte. Hum aapko doosre apps ya websites par track nahi karte. Koi third-party ad SDK app mein nahi hai.

06Data sharing & selling

Hum aapki personal information na bechte hain, na rent par dete hain, na trade karte hain. Kyunki aapka data aapke device par rehta hai, app delete karne par us data ka bhi safaya ho jaata hai.

07Data retention & deletion

Hamare paas aapka koi data hai hi nahi, isliye "delete my account" jaisa kuch nahi hai. Aap kabhi bhi:

App ke andar se apne cards aur saved contacts delete kar sakte ho, ya
App uninstall kar do — uske saath poora local data chala jaata hai.

Android backup ke liye app allowBackup=false set karta hai, matlab aapka card data cloud backup mein bhi nahi jaata.

08Security

Data app ki private internal storage mein rehta hai, jise doosre apps padh nahi sakte. Aap optional app-lock PIN laga sakte ho. Fir bhi, koi bhi device rooted, chori ya compromise ho sakta hai — isliye jitna zaroori ho utna hi card par rakhein.

09Children

App 13 saal se kam umar ke bachchon ke liye nahi hai, aur hum jaan-boojh kar unki information collect nahi karte.

10Changes to this policy

Hum ye policy update kar sakte hain. Jab bhi karenge, upar ki "Last updated" date badal denge. Bada badlaav hone par app ke andar bhi notice dikhaayenge.
