What this app is, and is not

Immigration Tracker: Deadlines (shown on your phone as Immigration Papers) is a personal organizer for the dates and papers of an immigration case. It is not legal advice. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government or agency. It never contacts any agency and never looks up a case: a receipt number is checked for its format on your phone and nothing more.

What the app does with your data

Your cases, receipt numbers, dates, checklists, people, document expiry dates and settings stay on your phone. The app has no account, no backend, no cloud sync, no ads, and no analytics or crash-reporting service. The app itself has no internet permission and sends nothing anywhere.

Scans of documents

A scan comes from your camera app or from the system photo picker, so the app asks for no camera, storage or media permission. Each image is re-saved without its location data, then encrypted with AES-256-GCM. The key is held by the Android Keystore on your phone and cannot be copied off it. Scans are excluded from Android's automatic backup and from phone-to-phone transfer, because the key could not travel with them. If you lose or replace your phone, only the Pro encrypted backup can bring your scans back.

What is collected

• Diagnostics (App info and performance): collected, not shared, required. This is the technical data Google Play Billing handles when you buy, restore or manage Pro. Google, not us, receives your payment details.
• Nothing else is collected by us: no name, email, location, contacts, photos, files, audio or device identifiers reach us.

Permissions

• Notifications: asked for only when you first switch reminders on. Reminders are scheduled on your phone; nothing is sent from a server.
• The app also uses the background-work and restart-after-reboot permissions of Android's WorkManager so that a reminder still arrives after you restart your phone, and the Google Play Billing permission.
• No camera, storage, media, contacts, location or internet permission.

Your controls

• Settings > Export all my data saves your records (not your scans) as a JSON file where you choose, through the system file picker.
• Settings > Restore reads a backup file you choose.
• Pro: Settings > Back up everything creates one file, encrypted with a password you set, that includes your scans. We cannot recover the password. Pro: a case timeline can be made as a PDF and shared by you through the Android share sheet; it lists dates, status and checklist, and leaves out scans and document numbers.
• Settings > Delete all data erases cases, people, dates, scans, settings, cached files and scheduled reminders, and returns the app to a fresh install.
• Settings > Manage subscription opens Google Play subscription management. You can cancel the yearly plan anytime in Google Play.
• If Android backup is on for your phone, your cases, dates and settings can be stored in your own Google account backup. That is a copy for you, not sharing with us or anyone else; you can delete it from your Google account. Scans and the purchase cache are not part of it.
• Uninstalling the app removes its local data.

Children

The app is for adults managing their own or their family's paperwork. It is not designed for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.
