                <p><strong>Last updated: October 15, 2026</strong></p>

                <p>
                    This Privacy Policy applies generally to the website,
                    mobile applications and digital services published
                    or operated by Poddar Techworks ("we", "our" or "us").
                    It explains what types of information may be handled,
                    how that information may be used and the choices
                    available to users.
                </p>

                <p>
                    Our applications serve different purposes. The
                    information handled by a particular product depends
                    on its features, permissions, integrations and
                    the version you use.
                </p>

                <h2>1. Overview</h2>

                <p>
                    Poddar Techworks respects your privacy. We aim to
                    handle information responsibly and only for legitimate
                    purposes related to providing our services, supporting
                    requested features, maintaining reliability and
                    meeting applicable legal obligations.
                </p>

                <h2>2. Information We May Handle</h2>

                <p>
                    Depending on the website, application or feature
                    you use, information may include:
                </p>

                <ul>
                    <li>Information you provide when contacting us
                        or requesting support.</li>
                    <li>Names, phone numbers and other contact details
                        used by relevant features.</li>
                    <li>Photos, files, notes and information you choose
                        to select or enter.</li>
                    <li>Business, shop, product, inventory, billing
                        and invoice information.</li>
                    <li>Customer, appointment, reminder and transaction
                        records entered into an application.</li>
                    <li>Application settings, preferences and other
                        information needed for specific features.</li>
                    <li>Technical information that may be processed
                        by the website, operating system or third-party
                        components, depending on their implementation.</li>
                </ul>

                <p>
                    Not every application collects or uses all these
                    categories. The information handled depends on
                    the features you choose to use.
                </p>

                <h2>3. Device Permissions</h2>

                <p>
                    Some applications may request access to device
                    features when needed to provide their functionality.
                    Depending on the application, permissions may include:
                </p>

                <ul>
                    <li>Contacts, to display or manage contact information.</li>
                    <li>Photos or files, to let you select pictures
                        or documents.</li>
                    <li>Phone or call-screening capabilities, to support
                        calling-related features.</li>
                    <li>Notifications, to provide reminders or alerts.</li>
                    <li>Other permissions required for specific
                        application features.</li>
                </ul>

                <p>
                    Permissions differ between applications. You can
                    review and manage available permissions through
                    your device settings. Denying or revoking a
                    permission may limit the associated feature.
                </p>

                <h2>4. How We Use Information</h2>

                <p>
                    Depending on the product and feature, information
                    may be used to:
                </p>

                <ul>
                    <li>Provide the functionality you request.</li>
                    <li>Save, organise and display information you enter.</li>
                    <li>Create bills, invoices, reports or reminders.</li>
                    <li>Support contact management and call-screening
                        features where available.</li>
                    <li>Remember application settings and preferences.</li>
                    <li>Respond to support requests and user feedback.</li>
                    <li>Maintain security, diagnose errors and improve
                        service reliability.</li>
                    <li>Comply with applicable laws and legal obligations.</li>
                </ul>

                <h2>5. Data Storage and Offline Features</h2>

                <p>
                    Some applications provide features using information
                    stored locally on your device. Where information
                    is stored locally, it may remain there until you
                    delete it, clear the application's data, uninstall
                    the application or otherwise remove it.
                </p>

                <p>
                    Storage methods can differ between products and
                    features. Some services or integrations may use
                    network connections or third-party infrastructure.
                    The availability of offline features does not
                    necessarily mean that every part of an application
                    operates without network access.
                </p>

                <p>
                    Please do not assume that information is backed
                    up or recoverable after uninstalling an application
                    unless the relevant feature explicitly provides
                    that capability.
                </p>

                <h2>6. Sharing and Disclosure</h2>

                <p>
                    We do not sell personal information. Depending
                    on the service and its implementation, information
                    may be shared or disclosed when reasonably necessary
                    to:
                </p>

                <ul>
                    <li>Provide a feature or service you request.</li>
                    <li>Work with service providers supporting a
                        relevant service.</li>
                    <li>Respond to lawful requests or comply with
                        applicable legal obligations.</li>
                    <li>Protect the security, rights or safety of
                        users, our services or others.</li>
                </ul>

                <p>
                    The use of service providers and the sharing of
                    information depend on the relevant product and
                    its actual implementation.
                </p>

                <h2>7. Third-Party Services</h2>

                <p>
                    Our website or applications may use third-party
                    software, libraries or services to support certain
                    features. Depending on the integration, these
                    providers may process information under their
                    own privacy policies and terms.
                </p>

                <p>
                    Where applicable, we encourage users to review
                    the privacy information of relevant third-party
                    providers. The integrations used may differ
                    between products and application versions.
                </p>

                <h2>8. Data Security</h2>

                <p>
                    We seek to use reasonable measures to protect
                    information handled by our services. However,
                    no method of electronic storage or transmission
                    can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
                </p>

                <p>
                    Users should protect access to their devices
                    and accounts and avoid sharing sensitive
                    information unnecessarily.
                </p>

                <h2>9. Data Retention and Deletion</h2>

                <p>
                    How long information is retained depends on
                    the product, the type of information and
                    how it is stored.
                </p>

                <p>
                    Information stored locally may remain until
                    you delete it, clear the application's data
                    or uninstall the application. Information
                    provided through support channels or handled
                    by other services may be retained as needed
                    for its purpose or as required by law.
                </p>

                <p>
                    Where an application provides deletion or
                    data-management features, you may use those
                    features to manage the relevant information.
                    Removing information from your device does
                    not necessarily remove copies that you have
                    previously exported, shared or stored elsewhere.
                </p>

                <h2>10. Children's Privacy</h2>

                <p>
                    Our services are not intended to knowingly
                    collect personal information from children
                    in violation of applicable law. If you believe
                    that personal information has been provided
                    to us improperly, please contact us so we
                    can review the matter.
                </p>

                <h2>11. Your Choices and Responsibilities</h2>

                <p>
                    Depending on the service, you may be able
                    to manage information through application
                    settings, device permissions, deletion
                    features or device storage settings.
                </p>

                <p>
                    You are responsible for ensuring that you
                    have appropriate permission to enter, store
                    or manage information about other people
                    in an application.
                </p>

                <p>
                    You may contact us with questions about
                    our privacy practices. Requests relating
                    to information held independently by a
                    third-party provider may need to be
                    directed to that provider.
                </p>

                <h2>12. Changes to This Policy</h2>

                <p>
                    We may update this Privacy Policy when our
                    website, applications, services or applicable
                    legal requirements change. The revised policy
                    will be published on this page with an
                    updated revision date.
                </p>

                <p>
                    This page is intended to serve as the common
                    Privacy Policy for Poddar Techworks products.
                    If a particular service requires additional
                    disclosures under applicable law or platform
                    requirements, those disclosures may also be
                    provided where relevant.
