Land Area Calculator & Bigha: Privacy Policy

Effective 22 October 2026. Published at https://apps.digitalshijil.com/land-area/privacy/

Land Area Calculator & Bigha is published by DIGITAL SHIJIL LLC ("we"). This policy explains what the app does with information. The short version: your plots and your walks stay on your phone. There are no accounts, no ads and no analytics, and the app's own code never connects to the internet.

What you enter stays on your device

Areas you convert, plots you calculate, boundaries you walk, notes you type, custom units and your settings are stored only in the app's private storage on your phone. We do not receive them, and we have no server that could.

• There is no sign-in and no account.
• There is no advertising and no advertising ID.
• There is no analytics or crash-reporting library. We see only the anonymous crash and performance statistics that Google Play shows every developer (Android vitals).
• The app asks for no camera, contacts or storage permission. Files you share (PDF, image, KML) and the data export pass through the system share sheet and file picker, and only when you choose.

Location

Location: ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, foreground only, processed on the device, not collected, not shared

The Measure tab asks to use your phone's location so it can place the corners of a plot as you walk its boundary. Location is read only while that screen is open and the app is in front; it stops when you press Stop, leave the screen or switch to another app, and the app never asks for background location. The positions are used on the phone to work out the area and perimeter. They are saved only if you choose Save plot, and then only on the phone. The app does not send them to us or to anyone. If you refuse the permission, every other tab keeps working.

Google Play Billing

The optional Pro upgrade (a yearly subscription with a free trial, or a lifetime purchase) is sold through Google Play. Google processes the payment; we never see your card or payment details. Google's Play Billing library, which the app must include to sell Pro, sends Google its own diagnostic information about billing (for example, whether a connection to Google Play succeeded). For the Data safety section this is declared as:

App info and performance > Diagnostics: collected, not shared, required

That information goes to Google under the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy), not to us, and we cannot see or delete it. To support this library the app's installed package carries the INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions, added by Google's billing library; nothing you type and no location is sent. You can cancel a subscription any time in Google Play > Payments and subscriptions > Subscriptions.

Backups and your own copies

If you use Android's own backup or phone-to-phone transfer, your saved plots and settings are included in that backup, which is held by Google under your Google account settings. Files you create (PDF, image, KML and "Export all my data") go only where you send them.

Your control

• Settings > Export all my data saves everything as one JSON file you choose where to keep.
• Settings > Delete all data erases every saved plot, custom unit and setting from the phone. Uninstalling the app does the same.
• You can turn location off for the app at any time in your phone's settings.

Estimates

Areas are estimates from the numbers you enter or from GPS readings. They are not a legal survey. Ask a licensed surveyor for an official measurement and check your revenue records.

Children

The app is a land measurement tool for adults and is not directed at children. It collects no personal information from anyone.

Changes

If the app ever changes what it does with information, this page and the Play listing will say so before the change ships.

सारांश (Hindi summary)

आपके प्लॉट, नाप और GPS से चली गई सीमाएँ सिर्फ़ आपके फ़ोन में रहती हैं। कोई अकाउंट नहीं, कोई विज्ञापन नहीं, कोई एनालिटिक्स नहीं। लोकेशन सिर्फ़ तब पढ़ी जाती है जब "नापें" स्क्रीन खुली हो, ताकि चलते समय कोने दर्ज हो सकें; यह कभी हमें या किसी और को नहीं भेजी जाती। Pro की ख़रीद Google Play के ज़रिए होती है और भुगतान की जानकारी हमें नहीं मिलती। क्षेत्रफल केवल अनुमान है, कानूनी सर्वे नहीं। संपर्क: contact@digitalshijil.com
