Privacy policy

Sukanya Tracker (the "app") and this website (sukanya.app) are developed and published by [PUBLISHER LEGAL NAME], based in India ("we", "us"). We built the app so that we do not need — and do not get — your data. This policy sets out exactly what is stored, where, who else is involved, and what you can do about it.

1. What the app stores, and where

When you use the app you enter your daughter's name, date of birth, the date her account was opened, each deposit (date and amount), your chosen deposit plan and your settings. Everything is saved in a single file inside the app's private storage on your device. It is not transmitted to us and we cannot read it. Balances, interest and projections are computed on the device from that file and the published interest-rate table.

2. Backup to your own cloud account

iPhone. If you switch on "Back up to iCloud", the app copies that file to your iCloud account, in a container that only this app can read. It travels directly from your device to Apple's servers under your Apple ID; we are not in between. You can switch it off in Settings, and delete the copy by turning it off and deleting the app's data from iCloud in your iPhone settings. Apple's handling of iCloud data is governed by Apple's privacy policy.

Android. Android's built-in backup ("Backup by Google One") copies the app's data to your Google account, as it does for other apps, and restores it on a new phone or reinstall. It is controlled from your phone's Settings → Google → Backup, not from inside the app, and is governed by Google's privacy policy.

Your normal device backups (iCloud device backup, Google backup) may also include the app's data, as they do for any app.

3. Anonymous usage statistics (optional, off by default)

Settings has a switch, "Share anonymous usage". It is off when you install the app. If you turn it on, the app sends anonymous events to our analytics provider, PostHog (PostHog Inc., servers in the United States), so we can see which features are used and where people get stuck. Each event carries:

• the event name (for example deposit_recorded, screen_viewed) and the screen it happened on;
• coarse properties such as a source ("calendar", "home"), a plan type, whether a deposit landed before or after the 5th, and amount ranges such as "10k–50k" — never exact amounts;
• technical context the SDK adds: app version, operating system and version, device model, screen size, language, timezone, and a random installation identifier.

Events never include your daughter's name, her dates, your name, an email, a phone number, or an exact balance. The random identifier is not linked to you or to any account and is reset if you delete the app. Your IP address is visible to PostHog when events are delivered, as with any internet request; we do not use it. You can switch statistics off at any time; nothing further is sent. We may in future add a crash-reporting service on the same terms (anonymous, no personal data); if we do, this policy will say so.

4. Interest-rate updates

The app downloads the published interest-rate table (a small public file we host on GitHub) when it is online and a new quarter has begun or a week has passed. That request carries no personal data, though GitHub's servers see your IP address, as for any web request. If the download fails the app keeps using the rates it already has.

5. Reminders

Deposit reminders are scheduled on the device by the operating system. No push-notification service is used and nothing leaves the phone to deliver them.

6. In-app review prompts

Occasionally, after a moment where the app has been useful, it may ask the operating system to show the standard "rate this app" prompt. Whether it appears, and anything you type, is handled by Apple or Google under their own terms; we receive nothing personal.

7. This website

sukanya.app is a static site served through Cloudflare. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics. Cloudflare records standard server logs (IP address, request, user agent) for security and performance, under Cloudflare's privacy policy. The calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser; nothing you enter is sent anywhere. The site loads the Nunito font from Google Fonts, which involves a request to Google's servers.

8. Who else is involved

We do not sell data, show advertising, or share anything with data brokers. There is nothing to sell: we hold no user data.

9. Children

The app is intended for parents and guardians. It stores a child's name and date of birth on the parent's device only, entered by the parent. We do not collect, receive or process children's personal data. Anonymous analytics never include it.

10. Retention and deletion

Because the data is on your device, you control retention. Settings → Delete all data erases everything the app holds on the phone; deleting the app does the same. Cloud copies stay in your iCloud or Google account until you delete them there. Anonymous analytics events are retained by PostHog for up to 12 months and cannot be traced back to you.

11. Security

The data file lives in the app's sandboxed private storage, which the operating system encrypts at rest when the device is locked with a passcode. Cloud copies are protected by Apple's and Google's encryption. Requests the app makes use HTTPS. No system is perfectly secure; keeping your device locked and your Apple/Google account protected with two-factor authentication is the most effective protection.

12. Your rights

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and comparable laws elsewhere (such as the GDPR if you use the app in the EU/UK), you have rights to access, correct and erase personal data and to withdraw consent. For this app, you exercise them directly: the data is on your device to view, edit and delete, and the analytics switch is consent you can withdraw at any time. If you believe we hold anything about you — we should not — write to us and we will respond within 30 days. You may also complain to your data protection authority (in India, the Data Protection Board).

13. International transfers

The only data that leaves your device to a third party we choose is the optional anonymous analytics, which is processed by PostHog in the United States. It contains no personal data. Your own cloud backups go wherever Apple or Google keep your account's data.

14. Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top and, for material changes, note it in the app's release notes. Continued use after a change means you accept it.
