PRIVACY POLICY — TUTOR LEDGER
Effective date: 23 October 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the Tutor Ledger Android app ("the App", package name com.ncaps.tutorledger) handles information. The App is developed and published by Niranjan V ("I", "me", "the developer").
By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. SUMMARY
- Everything you enter in the App (students, parents' phone numbers, fees, payments, attendance, your profile) is stored only on your phone.
- The App has no user accounts, and I do not run any server. I cannot see, access, or collect the data you enter.
- The App shows ads from Google AdMob. Google may collect device information to show and measure ads, as explained in Section 4.
- You can delete all your data at any time by clearing the App's data or uninstalling the App.
2. INFORMATION YOU ENTER IN THE APP
The App lets tutors record:
- Your tutor profile: name, tuition name, WhatsApp number, UPI ID, subjects and classes taught.
- Student details: student name, class, batch, and parent's phone number.
- Fees and payments: fee plans, amounts due, payments received, payment mode, receipt numbers, and optional notes or UPI reference numbers.
- Attendance records.
How this information is stored:
- It is saved in a private database on your device that other apps cannot read.
- It is never uploaded to the developer or to any server operated by the developer.
- The developer has no access to it.
You are responsible for the information you enter about students and parents. Please make sure you have their permission where required, and only enter what you need to manage your tuition.
3. FEATURES THAT SHARE INFORMATION ONLY WHEN YOU CHOOSE
The App shares information only when you tap a button to do so.
- WhatsApp reminders and absence alerts: the App opens WhatsApp with a pre-written message. The message is sent only if you press Send in WhatsApp. WhatsApp's own privacy policy applies to messages you send.
- Receipts and reports (PDF): the App creates PDF files on your device. They leave your device only if you share them, for example through WhatsApp, email or another app you choose.
- Excel (CSV) export: same as PDFs. The file stays on your device unless you share it.
- UPI payment links: if you add your UPI ID, it is included in reminder messages and receipts so parents can pay you. The App does not process payments and never sees bank or card details.
4. ADVERTISING (GOOGLE ADMOB)
The free version of the App shows ads provided by Google AdMob. These include banner, native, app-open, rewarded and interstitial ads.
Information Google may collect:
- Your device's advertising ID.
- IP address and approximate location derived from it.
- Device and app information, such as model, operating system and app version.
- Ad interactions, such as which ads are shown and clicked.
- Diagnostic data.
Google uses this information to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. It may also be used for personalised ads where you have allowed this.
What the App does NOT send to Google: any of the information you enter, including student names, phone numbers, fees, payments and attendance.
Consent: in regions where the law requires it, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the App shows Google's consent form before personalised ads are used. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Security and privacy → Privacy and ad choices, where this option is shown.
Your controls:
- You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your phone's settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads, depending on your device).

5. BACKUP AND RESTORE
Backups are saved as files on your own device, in the App's folder (Android/data/com.ncaps.tutorledger/files/Backups).
- Backups are not uploaded anywhere by the App.
- If you choose "Save backup file to…", the file is saved to a location you pick, such as Downloads, an SD card or a cloud storage app you use. That provider's privacy policy then applies.
- Backup files contain your App data, so store and share them carefully.
- Files in the App's own folder are deleted if you uninstall the App.
6. APP LOCK
If you turn on App Lock, unlocking is handled entirely by your phone's own fingerprint, face or screen-lock system. The App never receives or stores your fingerprint, face data or PIN.
7. PERMISSIONS USED
- Internet and network state: to load ads and the ad consent form.
- Advertising ID (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID): used by Google AdMob as described in Section 4.
The App does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, location, SMS or call logs.
8. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION
Because your data is stored only on your device, you control it completely. You can:
- Edit or remove records inside the App.
- Delete all App data: Android Settings → Apps → Tutor Ledger → Storage → Clear data.
- Uninstall the App, which removes its data and the backups in the App's own folder.
- Delete any backup or PDF files you saved elsewhere
