Privacy Policy
August Softwares ("we", "our", or "us") builds and maintains Android applications that are distributed on Google Play. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users and providing clear, direct information about how we collect, process, store, and share data. This privacy policy applies to all August Softwares Android apps, associated services, and the website at augustsoftwares.com.
1. Data We Collect
We only collect information that is necessary to operate our apps and deliver expected features.
1.1 Information you provide directly
- Account or profile details (such as name, email, or display picture) when an app offers account creation.
- Support enquiries, bug reports, or feedback submitted through in-app forms, email, or our support desk.
- Content you choose to create or upload within specific app features.
1.2 Automatically collected information
- Device identifiers such as Android Advertising ID and device model identifiers where needed to prevent fraud, enable notifications, or respect opt-out preferences.
- App usage analytics (screens visited, feature taps, crash traces) gathered via privacy-compliant analytics SDKs to improve performance and reliability.
- Technical data including IP address (truncated or tokenised where possible), OS version, locale, network type, and time zone to support expected functionality.
1.3 Optional permissions
Some apps may request access to the camera, photos, microphone, contacts, or location to deliver explicit features. Permission prompts are shown by Android and remain optional. Denying a permission only limits the relevant feature — core app usage remains available.
2. How We Use Data
Your data is used strictly for the following purposes:
- Delivering the core functionality of each Android application.
- Personalising in-app experiences where you have opted in (for example, storing preferences or session state).
- Providing customer support, sending service messages, and resolving reported issues.
- Monitoring performance, detecting crashes, and improving app stability.
- Meeting legal, safety, and security obligations, including fraud prevention and abuse detection.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell personal or device information. Data is shared only when necessary for the purposes listed above:
- Service providers: Trusted processors (hosting, analytics, crash reporting, email delivery) who operate under confidentiality clauses and data-processing agreements.
- Legal compliance: When required by applicable law, regulation, court order, or to defend our rights.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to continued confidentiality safeguards.
Aggregated or anonymised statistics that cannot reasonably identify an individual may be shared publicly to communicate product performance.
4. Data Storage and Retention
- Data is hosted securely on servers in the European Union and/or India, with additional redundancy in other regions as required by our cloud providers.
- Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary to deliver the service, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
- You may request deletion of your personal data at any time via the contact details below.
5. Security Measures
We use industry-standard safeguards to protect data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), restricted access controls, regular security reviews, monitoring for suspicious activity, and secure development practices. Despite these measures, no mobile or network system can be guaranteed 100% secure, so we continuously review and improve our defences.
6. Children
Our Android applications are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete the information.
7. Your Rights and Choices
- Opt out of analytics and personalised experiences through in-app settings where available.
- Control notification preferences within Android system settings.
- Request access, correction, export, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us.
- Withdraw previously granted permissions directly in Android Settings > Apps.
8. International Data Transfers
When data is transferred across borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, intragroup agreements, and ISO/IEC 27001 certified providers to protect your data in accordance with EU, UK, and Indian privacy standards.
9. Third-Party SDKs and Services
Some applications integrate third-party SDKs (for example, Google Play Services, Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, payment processors). These providers may collect data independently under their own privacy policies. We review all SDKs for compliance with Google Play User Data policies and limit data sharing to what is essential for the feature.
10. Changes to this Policy
We may update this policy to reflect new products, regulatory requirements, or security improvements. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy at augustsoftwares.com/privacy and adjust the effective date. Continued use of our apps after updates indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
