Privacy policy
In short
- Bangaru Bill’s own code never sends your weights, rates, prices or bills anywhere. We have no server and we never receive them.
- There is no account and no login, and the app never requires your name, your phone number or the name of your jeweller.
- One Google service in the app collects some device data: Google AdMob, for the one banner ad under the result. The app asks for your consent before ads where the law requires it.
- Backups and shared bills are in your control: a file you save yourself, and anything you choose to share.
Who we are
Bangaru Bill is published by Sangachadwam. This policy covers the Bangaru Bill Android app and this website.
What the app stores, and where
The app stores the bills and quotes you save (a name you type, the weights, purity, wastage, making, stones, old-gold details and prices you entered), the gold rates you typed with the time you typed them, your language, theme, text-size and weight-unit settings, and an automatic draft of what you are typing. Results are not stored; they are worked out again from your figures each time. All of this stays in the app’s own storage on your phone.
We have no server. We do not receive, see, sell or share your figures.
The app does not ask for your contacts, photos, files, phone number or location.
Permissions the app asks for
The app shows no permission prompt. Internet and network state: only to load the ad, and to skip it when you are offline. Advertising ID: used by the ad SDK (see Ads below). Vibration: touch feedback.
Nothing else: no notifications, contacts, photos, files, location, camera, microphone, phone or exact alarms. The backup file is saved and restored through Android’s own file picker, which needs no storage permission.
Internet use
Bangaru Bill works fully offline, and the app makes no internet request of its own. The only internet traffic comes from the ad SDK described below.
The GST rate and the other rules are inside the app. When a rule changes, we ship an app update; the app does not download rules or gold rates.
Ads (Google AdMob)
The app shows one banner ad, only at the bottom of the result screen. It never shows an ad on the screen where you type, in your first session, in sheets, or as a full-screen ad.
Google AdMob serves the ad. The Google Mobile Ads SDK collects and shares device identifiers (such as the advertising ID and the app set ID), your IP address and the approximate location it reveals, app interactions and diagnostic data. Google uses this data for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention.
Before the first ad request, the app shows Google’s consent form where the law requires it, and asks for non-personalised ads where it does not. We ask Google to block ads for loans, credit and lending, gambling and betting, alcohol, dating, get-rich-quick offers and sexual and reproductive health, and we limit ads to the “T” (teen) content rating, but we cannot promise that none will appear.
Ads need the internet. Your figures are never sent with an ad request.
Backups
Backup file: when you save a backup, Android asks you where to save the file. The file is plain JSON and is not protected by a password. It holds your saved bills and quotes, your typed rates and your settings. Keep it somewhere safe, and share it only with people you trust. When you restore a file, the app checks it before it uses anything from it.
Android Auto Backup: if backup is turned on in your phone’s settings, Android may copy the app’s saved bills and settings to your Google account. Google stores this backup in encrypted form. You control it in your phone’s settings.
Bills and sharing
A shared bill (image, PDF or text) can include the name you gave it, the weights, rates, charges and the results. It is made on your phone and leaves it only when you share it, through the app you choose, such as WhatsApp. That app’s own privacy policy then applies.
This website
This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no trackers, and it loads its fonts from its own server. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes basic request data, such as your IP address, to deliver the pages and to protect the site from attacks.
Children
Bangaru Bill is not directed at children. It is meant for adults who buy or sell gold jewellery.
Deleting your data
Your bills are on your phone, so you can delete them at any time. To remove everything at once, uninstall the app or clear its storage in Android settings. Backup files are deleted where you saved them, and Android’s backup is deleted from your Google account. You can reset your advertising ID in Android settings.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
