Privacy Policy — Detroja Family App

Effective date: September 22, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Detroja Family App ("we", "us", "our"), based in Gujarat, India, collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use our mobile application available on Google Play (the "App").

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically when you use the App.

Information you provide

  • Profile data: names, nicknames, family relationships, dates of birth (optional), and contact information that you or other family members enter in the App.

Information collected automatically

  • Usage data: information about how you use the App (features used, pages visited, actions taken, timestamps).
  • Device & technical data: device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, mobile network information, and crash logs.
  • Analytics: anonymous analytics collected to improve the App performance and features.

Sensitive personal data

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data (e.g., financial information or government identification numbers) unless you explicitly provide them for a specific purpose; if you do share such data with us, we will treat it with additional care and delete it on request where required by law.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To provide, maintain, and improve the App and its features.
  • To create and manage user accounts and profiles.
  • To enable photo uploads and albums, family-tree features, and profile sharing within authorized family members.
  • To respond to your inquiries, support requests, and to send administrative messages (account-related notifications, policy updates).
  • For analytics and research to understand usage patterns and improve the App.
  • To comply with Indian legal obligations and protect our rights and users.

3. Sharing and disclosure

We will not sell your personal information. We may share data in limited circumstances:

  • With other family members: information you add to shared family profiles or group areas is visible to family members you authorize.
  • Service providers: trusted vendors who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, crash reporting).
  • Legal reasons: when required by Indian law or to respond to legal process, protect our rights, or prevent harm.
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets (we will notify affected users where required by law).

4. Third-party services and links

The App may use third-party services and SDKs (for example: Google Play services, analytics providers, crash reporting tools). These third parties may collect information about your device and app usage.

Links to other websites or services are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. Please review their privacy policies.

5. Data retention

We retain personal data only as long as needed to provide the App and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. If you request deletion of your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by Indian law or for legitimate business reasons (e.g., fraud prevention).

6. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a data breach occurs that creates a risk of harm, we will notify affected users and authorities as required by Indian law.

7. Your rights and choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you. You may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing, and to obtain a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise your rights, please contact us using the information in the Contact section below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling requests.

8. Children's privacy

Our App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal data of a child under the applicable age limit, we will take steps to remove that information. If you believe your child has provided us personal information, please contact us.

9. Local laws and international users

As the App is operated from Gujarat, India, all data is processed in accordance with Indian laws. If you are located outside India, please note that your data may be transferred to and processed in India. By using the App, you consent to this transfer subject to applicable Indian privacy regulations.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy with a new "Effective date". For material changes, we will provide additional notice (for example, via email or an in-app notification) as required by law.
