Saras Project 365 Privacy Policy
Project 365 - Privacy Policy & Terms of Use
App: Project 365 (the "App")
In this document, "we", "us" and "our" mean the developer and publisher of the App, and "you" means anyone who installs or uses it. This document applies to every version of the App and to its store listing. It describes how the App works, not a particular release. If a future version changes how information is handled, this document will be updated and the "Last updated" date above will change.
It has three parts:
Part A — Summary. The key points in plain language.
Part B — Privacy Policy. What information the App handles, where it goes, and your choices.
Part C — Terms of Use. The rules for using the App, your responsibilities, and the limits of our liability.
By installing, opening or using the App you agree to Parts B and C. If you do not agree, please do not use the App and uninstall it.
Part A — Summary
Your photos stay on your phone. Photos, notes, stories, people tags, face names and locations are stored in the App's private storage on your device. We run no servers for the App and never receive them.
No account, no analytics, no tracking by us. We do not collect, sell or rent your personal information.
Ads come from Google. The App shows a banner ad provided by Google AdMob. Google may collect device identifiers and similar information to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it, you are asked for consent first and can change your choice in Settings → Ad privacy choices.
Everything optional is off until you turn it on: location saving, importing hidden images, and daily email reports.
You are responsible for your content and your backups. You own your photos. Make sure you have the right to take, import and share them, and export them regularly: uninstalling the App or resetting your phone deletes them, and we cannot recover them.
The App is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost photos, lost data or any indirect loss.
Part B — Privacy Policy
B1. Who we are
"We", "us" and "our" mean the developer and publisher of the App. For any question about this policy, write to the support email at the end of this document.
B2. Our approach
The App is designed to work without us. It has no sign-in, no cloud service of ours, no analytics and no crash reporting service. What you create in the App is processed on your device, under your control. The only information that leaves your device does so either because you chose to send it (export, email reports) or through the Google AdMob advertising service described in section B5.
B3. Information the App keeps on your device
The App stores the following in its private storage on your phone. Other apps cannot read it, and it is not sent to us.
Photos you take with the App or import into it.
Notes and stories you write for a photo.
People tags: names you type, or the name of a contact you choose with Android's contact picker, plus a reference to that contact.
Face names: the position of faces found in a photo and the names you give them.
Location (only if you turn it on): the place where a photo was taken, saved in the photo's details.
Photo details: date and time, camera used, image size, original file name and a fingerprint (hash) used to avoid importing the same photo twice.
Settings: theme, calendar options, camera choice, project start date and similar preferences.
Email report settings (only if you set them up): mail server, port, user name, sender and recipient addresses, and your mail password. The password is encrypted with a key held in your phone's secure hardware-backed keystore.
B4. Information we collect
We do not collect personal information through the App. We do not receive your photos, notes, people tags, face names, locations, contacts, email settings or passwords, and we have no way to see them.
If you contact us (for example by email), we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address and your message. We use it only to reply and to keep a record of the conversation, and we keep it no longer than needed for that purpose or as required by law.
B5. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The App is free and shows a banner ad from Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC and its affiliates ("Google").
What Google may collect: the advertising ID and other device identifiers, IP address (and an approximate location derived from it), device and operating system information, app information, and how you interact with ads. On supported devices this may include Android's privacy-preserving advertising features (Topics and Attribution).
Why: to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance, and detect fraud and abuse.
Who controls it: Google handles this information under its own privacy policy and terms. It goes to Google, not to us. Google's explanation of how it uses information from apps that use its services is at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and its privacy policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Consent: where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), the App shows Google's consent form before ads are personalised. You can review or change your choice at any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices (shown in regions where it applies).
Your device controls: you can reset or delete your advertising ID, and opt out of personalised ads, in your phone's settings (usually Settings → Privacy → Ads).
What Google never gets from the App: your photos, notes, stories, people tags, face names or the locations saved with your photos.
Ads are chosen and supplied by Google and its advertising partners. We do not create or endorse the ads shown, and any dealings you have with an advertiser are between you and that advertiser.
B6. Other services you may use with the App
Your email provider. If you turn on daily email reports, the App connects directly from your phone to the mail (SMTP) server you configure and sends the report only to the addresses you enter. A report can include that day's photos, notes, people names, photo details, date and location. Your email provider and your recipients receive this information under their own policies, and what they do with it is outside our control.
Android file picker (import and export). The App reads only the images or folders you choose, and writes only into the folder you choose. Exported copies are ordinary files that other apps with access to that folder can read.
Android contact picker. Gives the App access only to the single contact you pick; the App never reads your full address book.
Android backup and device transfer. See section B9.
Google Play. Downloading and updating the App through Google Play is governed by Google's terms and privacy policy.
B7. Camera, location, faces and contacts in detail
Camera. Used only to take photos when you tap today's date. While the calendar is open, the camera stays ready so the photo is instant, and Android shows its camera-in-use indicator. The live preview can be hidden with the Show button. The App does not record video or audio.
Location. Optional, and only with your permission. You can turn it off in Settings → General or deny the permission in Android settings. Photos taken earlier keep the location saved with them until you delete them.
Faces. "Find faces" runs entirely on your phone and only marks where faces are so you can type a name. The App does not recognise or identify people, and does not create or store face templates, face prints or other biometric identifiers.
Contacts. Only the name of a contact you pick, and a reference to it, is saved with the photo.
B8. Permissions
Camera — to take photos.
Location (optional) — to save where a photo was taken.
Internet and network state — to send email reports you set up and to load ads.
Advertising ID — used by Google AdMob as described in section B5.
Background work and wake lock — to send the daily email report on time.
The App does not request access to your photo library, shared files, microphone, call logs, SMS or full contacts list.
B9. Backups, new phones and retention
Retention. Information stays on your device until you delete it in the App, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App. Deleting a photo also deletes its notes, tags and details.
Cloud backup. Photos are excluded from Google cloud backup. Settings (but never the mail password) may be backed up by Android if backup is turned on for your Google account.
Device-to-device transfer. When you move to a new phone with Android's transfer tool, photos, notes and settings can be copied across. The mail password must be entered again.
Uninstalling deletes everything the App stores privately. We keep no copy and cannot restore it.
B10. Security
The App keeps your data in Android's app-private storage, writes photos safely so an interrupted save does not damage existing photos, encrypts your mail password with a hardware-backed key, and uses encrypted connections (SSL/TLS or STARTTLS) to your mail server when your server supports them. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. Protect your phone with a screen lock and keep it updated; anyone who can unlock your phone may be able to open the App.
B11. Legal bases (EEA, UK and similar laws)
We do not process your personal data through the App, so we are not the controller of the data you keep in it. For data you send to us directly (section B4), our legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering you. For advertising, Google relies on your consent where required by law, and otherwise on the legal bases described in its own privacy policy.
B12. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the EU and UK GDPR, India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, and other US state laws), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal data, to withdraw consent, to object to or limit certain processing, and to complain to a data protection authority.
Data in the App: you can view, change, export and delete it yourself at any time, because it is on your device.
Data you sent us: write to the support email at the end of this document and we will respond within the time the law requires.
Advertising data: use Settings → Ad privacy choices, your phone's ad settings, or Google's tools at https://myadcenter.google.com.
Sale and sharing (US state laws): We do not sell or share your personal information. Google's ad service may collect identifiers in ways that some US state laws treat as "sharing" for targeted advertising; you can opt out by deleting your advertising ID or turning off personalised ads in your phone's settings, and through the App's ad privacy choices where shown.
We will not treat you differently for exercising any of these rights.
B13. Children
The App is not directed at children and is intended for users aged 18 or over, or the age of majority where they live (younger users may use it only with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
B14. International users
We do not transfer your App data anywhere, because we do not receive it. Information collected by Google for ads, or handled by your email provider, may be processed in other countries under those companies' safeguards.
B15. Contact and grievances
For questions, requests about your rights, or grievances (including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023), write to the support email at the end of this document. We aim to acknowledge requests within 7 days and resolve them within 30 days, or sooner if the law requires.
B16. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the App or the law changes. The current version is always available in the App (Settings → About → Privacy) and at the policy link on the App's store listing. If a change materially affects how information is handled, we will give notice in the App or on the store listing before it takes effect. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated policy.
Part C — Terms of Use
C1. Agreement
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and us, the developer and publisher of the App. By installing, opening or using the App you accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy in Part B. If you use the App on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these Terms for it.
C2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, or use the App with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms for you. You must not use the App where doing so is prohibited by law.
C3. Licence to use the App
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal purposes, in line with these Terms and the rules of the store you got it from. You must not, except where the law expressly allows it despite this restriction:
copy, modify, translate or create derivative works of the App;
decompile, reverse engineer or disassemble the App, or try to extract its source code;
remove, hide or alter any notices, branding or advertising in the App;
sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute or publish the App or any part of it;
interfere with the App's ads, security or normal operation, or use automated means to generate ad impressions or clicks;
use the App to build a competing product.
C4. Your content
"Your content" means the photos, notes, stories, names, tags, locations and other material you create, import, store, export or send with the App.
You own your content. We claim no ownership of it, we do not receive it, and we need no licence to it.
You are solely responsible for your content and for how you capture, import, store, export and share it.
You confirm that you own your content or have every right, licence, consent and permission needed to take, import, store, export and share it, including copyright, privacy and personality (publicity) rights of any person shown, named or tagged in it.
Importing. Import only images you own or are permitted to copy. Importing an image does not give you any rights in it.
C5. Acceptable use
You must not use the App to:
break any law or regulation, or infringe anyone's rights;
photograph, record, tag, locate or track any person without their knowledge or consent where consent is required, or in places where people expect privacy;
create, store or share sexual content involving minors (we have zero tolerance and will report it to authorities where we become aware of it), non-consensual intimate images, or any other illegal content;
harass, stalk, threaten, defame or discriminate against anyone;
send spam, bulk or unsolicited email, or email anyone who has not agreed to receive it, through the email report feature;
infringe copyright, trade marks, or any other intellectual property right;
spread malware or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any system.
C6. People, faces and locations
When you tag people, name faces or save locations, you are responsible for respecting the privacy of the people in your photos and for following the laws that apply to you, including data protection laws if you share their information with others. Face detection only marks where a face appears; it does not identify anyone, and any name is one you add. Location data comes from your device and may be inaccurate or unavailable.
C7. Email reports
The email feature sends messages from your phone using a mail account and server that you provide.
You must use a mail account you are authorised to use, and follow your provider's terms and limits.
You are solely responsible for the recipients you choose, for having their consent, and for the content sent.
Messages travel through your provider and the recipients' providers, outside our control. We do not guarantee delivery, timing, or that messages will not be delayed, filtered as spam, misdirected, or read by others.
Android may delay or stop background work (for example to save battery), so a report may be late or not sent.
Turn the feature off and remove your password at any time in Settings → Share.
C8. Your data, backups and loss
The App stores your content only on your device. We provide no cloud storage or backup, and we cannot see, restore or recover your content.
Your content can be lost, permanently, if you uninstall the App, clear its data, reset, lose, damage or replace your device, if storage fails or becomes full, if Android or another app removes it, or because of an error in the App or the operating system.
You are solely responsible for keeping backups. Use Export regularly and store copies in a safe place.
The App is a personal journal tool, not an archive, records system or evidence store. Do not rely on it as the only copy of anything important.
C9. Advertising and third-party services
The App shows ads supplied by Google AdMob, and it works with third-party services such as your email provider, Android system services and Google Play. These are provided by others under their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services, ads, advertisers, websites or products, or for any loss arising from your dealings with them. A link or ad is not an endorsement.
C10. Our intellectual property
The App, including its code, design, name "Project 365" as used for the App, icon, artwork, text and graphics, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by copyright, trade mark and other laws. These Terms give you no rights in them other than the licence in section C3. The App may include open-source components, which are licensed under their own licences; nothing in these Terms limits your rights under those licences.
C11. Copyright and other rights complaints
Your content stays on your own device, so we cannot access, review or remove it. Any dispute about content you capture, import or share is between you and the rights holder, and you are responsible for resolving it.
If you believe the App itself, its store listing or any material we publish infringes your copyright or other rights, send a notice to the support email at the end of this document that includes:
your name, address, phone number and email address;
a description of the work or right you say is infringed;
a description of the material you say infringes it and where it is located;
a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the rights owner, its agent or the law;
a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorised to act for them;
your physical or electronic signature.
We will review valid notices promptly and take appropriate action. Knowingly false claims may make you liable for damages.
C12. Feedback
If you send us ideas or suggestions, you allow us to use them freely without any obligation to you.
C13. Updates, changes and availability
We may update, change, suspend or stop the App, or any feature of it, at any time, with or without notice. Some updates may be required to keep using the App. We have no obligation to provide updates, support or maintenance, or to keep the App available in any store or region.
C14. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Without limiting this, we do not warrant that:
photos will always be captured, saved, imported or exported correctly, or remain available;
dates, times, locations, photo details, streaks, statistics or charts will be accurate or complete;
email reports will be sent, delivered or delivered on time;
the App will work on every device, Android version or camera, or with every mail server;
the App or the ads in it will be free of errors, interruptions, viruses or other harmful components.
You use the App at your own risk. The App is not intended for safety-critical, medical, legal, evidential or emergency use.
C15. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
We, our directors, employees, affiliates, licensors and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, photos, notes or other content, loss of memories, loss of privacy, loss of profits, revenue, goodwill or opportunity, cost of replacement or recovery, device damage, or business interruption, arising out of or related to the App, these Terms, your content, ads, third-party services, or your use of or inability to use the App, even if we were told such loss was possible.
Our total liability for all claims arising out of or related to the App or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the claim, and (b) INR 1,000 (or the equivalent in your local currency).
These limits apply to every legal theory (contract, tort including negligence, strict liability, statute or otherwise) and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, and nothing affects the statutory rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived. If the law where you live does not allow some of these exclusions, they apply only to the extent allowed.
C16. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our directors, employees, affiliates and partners from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: your content; your use or misuse of the App; your breach of these Terms; your violation of any law; or your infringement of any right of another person, including copyright, privacy and publicity rights of people shown, named, tagged or located in your content, and the rights of recipients of email you send.
C17. Ending these Terms
You can stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. Your licence ends automatically if you breach these Terms. Sections C4, C8, C10, C11 and C14 to C19, and any other terms that by their nature should continue, survive the end of these Terms.
C18. Governing law and disputes
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them or the App are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before starting any formal proceedings, you agree to contact us and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Subject to that, the courts of competent jurisdiction in India have exclusive jurisdiction.
If you are a consumer living in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or another country whose law gives you mandatory rights, you keep the protection of those mandatory rules and may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live.
C19. Store terms, export and general terms
App stores. These Terms are between you and us only, not Google or any other store operator. The store's own terms also apply to your download and use of the App, and in case of conflict on store-related matters, the store's terms prevail.
Export and sanctions. You must comply with all export control and sanctions laws that apply to you and to the App.
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the App and replace any earlier agreements on that subject.
Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the rest of these Terms will remain in effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours, for example as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
Language. If these Terms are translated, the English version prevails to the extent permitted by law.
Changes. We may update these Terms. The updated version takes effect when published in the App or on the store listing; if a change is material, we will give reasonable notice. Continuing to use the App means you accept the updated Terms.
