LedgerMatePrivacy Policy
1. Who we are
LedgerMate is developed and published by Grownix Ventures Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India ("we", "us"). This policy explains how the LedgerMate mobile app ("the app") handles information. It applies to the app and to this website.
2. Data stored on your device
Everything you enter in the app stays on your device: company details, GSTIN, parties, invoices and other documents, ledgers, payments, stock, employees and payroll, logos, signatures and stamps. It is stored in an encrypted database (SQLCipher, AES-256), and the encryption key is protected by the Android Keystore.
We do not receive, upload, sell or share this business data. It never leaves your device unless you choose to share it, for example by sharing an invoice PDF, exporting a report or saving a backup.
3. What we collect
We, the developer, do not collect personal or business data from the app. There is no registration, login or analytics service of our own. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write, and use it only to reply.
4. Third-party services
The app uses the following Google services. They process data under their own privacy policies.
| Service | When used | Data processed by the provider |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK) | Free plan only. Pro users get no ads. | Advertising ID, IP address (approximate location), device and app information, ad interactions, and diagnostic data, used to show, measure and limit ads and to prevent fraud. No business data from the app is included in ad requests. |
| Google User Messaging Platform | First launch and Settings › About › Ad privacy choices | Your consent choices, where consent is required by law (for example in the EEA, UK and some US states). |
| Google Play Billing | When you subscribe to LedgerMate Pro | Purchase details, handled by Google. The app stores only the subscription status on your device to unlock Pro. |
Learn more: Google Privacy Policy · How Google uses information from apps that use its services · AdMob and user data.
You can limit personalised ads in the app (Settings › About › Ad privacy choices) or reset or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings › Privacy › Ads.
The free plan needs an internet connection so ads can load. This connection is used only for the Google services above.
5. App permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Internet, network state | Ads (free plan), Google Play Billing and the consent form; checking whether you are online. |
| Biometric | Optional fingerprint/face unlock. Android verifies your biometrics; the app never receives them. |
| Notifications | Optional reminders, such as reminders to back up your books. Amounts and names are hidden on the lock screen unless you turn them on. |
Files such as logos, bank statements and backups are opened only through the Android file picker, when you choose them.
6. Backups
Backups are files you create and encrypt with your own password. You decide where they go (device storage, a cloud drive you choose, email). We cannot read them or recover a forgotten backup password.
7. Security
Your database is encrypted on the device, the app can be locked with a PIN or fingerprint, and repeated wrong PINs cause increasing wait times. No method is completely secure: keep your phone protected and keep regular backups.
8. Children
LedgerMate is a business tool for adults and is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
9. Data retention and deletion
Your data stays on your device until you delete it. You can:
- delete a business in the app (Settings › Export & data controls);
- clear the app's storage (Android Settings › Apps › LedgerMate › Storage › Clear storage); or
- uninstall the app, which removes all its data from the device.
Backups you saved elsewhere must be deleted by you. Since we hold no account or business data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side. Data held by Google for ads can be managed in your Google and Android ad settings.
10. Your rights
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the GDPR and similar laws, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict your personal data and to withdraw consent. Your app data is fully under your control on your device. For ad consent, use Ad privacy choices in the app. For anything else, contact us below.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy, for example when the app changes. We will post the new version on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
