Effective date: 2 November 2026 · App: BariWala: House Rent Manager (com.e2softtechnology.bariwala) · Developer: E2Soft Tech

This policy explains what information BariWala handles, why, and the choices you have. We designed BariWala to keep your rent records private: they live on your device, not on our servers. We do not operate any server that receives your flat, tenant or payment data.

1. Data stored on your device

Everything you enter — buildings, flats, tenant details (name, phone, WhatsApp number, NID, family members, photos and agreement files you attach), charges, bills, meter readings, payments, expenses, settlements and app settings — is stored offline in the app's private storage on your device. It is not uploaded to us. An optional app lock (PIN/biometric) is verified on-device; your fingerprint never leaves the Android system.

2. Optional Google Drive backup & Google Sign-In

If you choose to turn on Drive backup, the app asks you to sign in with Google and authorise only the scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata (“See, create, and delete its own configuration data in your Google Drive”). Google Sign-In is used only for this Drive backup feature — not for an account with us.

The backup file (a ZIP of the app database and your attachments) is stored in the hidden application data folder of your own Google Drive. This scope cannot see or access any other files in your Drive. The upload goes directly from your phone to Google; E2Soft Tech never receives, stores or can access your backup or your Google account data. The app keeps the latest few backups and deletes older ones it created.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and use your device's advertising ID, IP address, and device/app information to serve, measure and (where permitted) personalise ads. Where required (for example in the EEA/UK), we ask for your consent using Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before any ads are requested; you can change your choice any time from Settings → Privacy options. Pro users see no ads. See how Google uses data in ads.

4. Analytics (Firebase Analytics)

We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the app is used so we can improve it. It may collect app interactions (for example: a flat or tenant was added, a bill generated, a payment recorded, an invoice shared, a backup done, the Pro screen viewed or Pro purchased), and device information (model, OS version, language, approximate region, app version, app-instance ID). It never receives your tenant names, phone numbers, amounts or any content you type. Analytics storage is denied by default and only enabled when consent allows.

5. Purchases (Google Play Billing)

BariWala Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase processed entirely by Google Play. We never see your card or payment details; Google tells the app only whether Pro is owned.

6. WhatsApp and sharing

Invoices, receipts and reports are shared only when you tap Share/WhatsApp. The app hands the PDF/message to WhatsApp or the app you choose; what happens next is governed by that app's privacy policy. We do not send messages on your behalf.

7. Permissions

Internet/network state (ads, analytics, Drive backup, billing), notifications (due and bill reminders), biometric (optional app lock) and billing. Photos/files are accessed only through the system picker when you attach them.

8. Sharing and sale of data

We do not sell your data and do not share your rent records with anyone. Limited technical data is processed by Google (AdMob, Firebase, Play Billing, Drive) as described above, as our service providers.

9. Security & retention

Data stays in Android's app-private storage; network transfers use HTTPS. Your data is kept until you delete it.

10. Data deletion

Delete individual records in the app at any time. To delete everything, uninstall the app or go to Android Settings → Apps → BariWala → Storage → Clear data. To delete Drive backups, open Google Drive on the web → Settings → Manage apps → BariWala → Delete hidden app data, and you may remove access at myaccount.google.com/permissions. To reset your advertising ID or analytics, use Android Settings → Google → Ads. You can also email us for help.

11. Children

BariWala is a business tool for landlords and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect data from children; if you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will help remove it.

12. Changes

We may update this policy; the effective date above will change and significant changes will be shown in the app or on this page.
