Bill Checker - Pakistan 

Last updated: 28 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Bill Checker - Pakistan app for Android (listed on Google Play as "Electricity & Gas Bill Checker", package name com.pak.billchecker, "the App") handles your information. The App is made by Haroon Ijaz ("we", "us"). It is free to use and supported by ads.

NOT A GOVERNMENT APP

The App is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government body, WAPDA, PITC, any electricity distribution company (LESCO, IESCO, PESCO, GEPCO, FESCO, MEPCO, HESCO, QESCO, SEPCO, HAZECO, TESCO), K-Electric or SNGPL.

Bills are fetched from the companies' own public websites:

• Electricity bills (PITC): https://bill.pitc.com.pk

• Gas bills (SNGPL): https://www.sngpl.com.pk

• K-Electric bills open on K-Electric's own website: https://ke.com.pk

1. NUMBERS YOU ENTER

To check a bill, you enter a 14-digit reference number (electricity) or an 11-digit account number (gas). The App sends this number only to that company's bill website, over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), to fetch your bill. It is never sent to us, and the App does not add it to analytics, crash reports or ad requests.

2. BILLS SAVED ON YOUR PHONE

A bill contains the details the company prints on it, such as the consumer's name and address, amounts, units used, due dates and payment history.

The App keeps your saved numbers, the names you give your bills and the bills it downloads only on your phone, so you can view them without internet, see your bill history and get reminders. We do not run servers and never receive copies of your bills. When you save a bill as a PDF, the file is saved where you choose.

If Android backup is turned on, Android may include the App's saved numbers and bills in your phone's backup, which Google stores in your Google account so it can be restored to a new phone.

3. BACKGROUND CHECKS AND NOTIFICATIONS

For bills you have saved, the App checks the company's website in the background from time to time, to find a new bill or a payment. If you allow notifications, the App can tell you when a new bill arrives and remind you before the due date. You can turn these off in the App (Settings > Reminders) or in your phone's notification settings.

4. ADVERTISING (GOOGLE ADMOB)

The App shows ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google's ads SDK automatically collects the following and shares it with Google:

• your device's IP address, which may be used to estimate your general location

• app interactions, such as app launches, taps and ad views

• diagnostic information, such as app launch time and performance

• device identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID and app set ID

Ads may be personalised or non-personalised. 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 phone).

5. USAGE STATISTICS (GOOGLE ANALYTICS FOR FIREBASE)

We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the App is used, so we can improve it. It collects:

• which screens are opened, and which company a screen is for (for example, "PESCO")

• how many saved numbers were carried over when you updated from an older version of the App (the count only)

• app version, device model, Android version, language, and country or approximate location (from IP address)

• an app instance ID and, where available, the Android advertising ID

We never send reference numbers, account numbers, names, addresses, bill names or bill contents to Google Analytics.

6. CRASH REPORTS (FIREBASE CRASHLYTICS)

If the App crashes, or cannot carry your saved numbers over from an older version, Firebase Crashlytics sends us a report with technical details: the error and where in the App's code it happened, the App's state at the time, your device model and Android version, and a Crashlytics installation ID used to count how many users are affected. The App does not add your reference numbers or bill details to crash reports.

7. HOW LONG DATA IS KEPT

• Numbers and bills on your phone stay until you delete them in the App (Edit > Delete this bill) or uninstall the App, which removes them from your phone.

• Firebase Crashlytics keeps crash reports for 90 days.

• Google Analytics keeps data linked to your app instance ID for no longer than 14 months.

• Advertising data is kept by Google under its own policies.

8. WHAT THE APP DOES NOT DO

• There is no sign-up, account or login.

• The App does not access your precise location, contacts, photos or files.

• We do not sell your information.

9. HOW WE HANDLE YOUR DATA SECURELY

Personal and sensitive data the App handles:

• Your reference or account number, and the bills downloaded with it. A bill includes the consumer's name, address, amounts, units used and payment history.

• The names you give your bills.

How this data is protected:

• Encrypted in transit: every connection the App makes, to the companies' bill websites and to Google's services, uses HTTPS/TLS encryption. The App does not send your data over unencrypted connections.

• Stored only on your phone: saved numbers, bill names and bills are kept in the App's private storage, which Android protects so that other apps cannot read it. We do not copy this data to any server of ours.

• Shared only where needed: your reference or account number is sent only to the utility company's own bill website, and only to fetch your bill. It is never sent to us, to advertisers, to Google Analytics or to crash reports.

• No access by us: we cannot see your numbers, names, addresses or bills, because they never leave your phone except to the company's own website.

• Limited technical data: usage statistics, crash reports and advertising data are handled by Google under the terms described in sections 4 to 6, and are encrypted in transit.

• Your control: you can delete any saved bill in the App (Edit > Delete this bill) at any time, and uninstalling the App deletes all of its data from your phone.

10. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

These services have their own privacy policies:

• Google Play Services: https://policies.google.com/privacy

• Google AdMob: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543

• Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

11. YOUR CHOICES

• Delete any saved bill in the App, or uninstall the App to remove them all.

• Turn off reminders and new-bill alerts in the App, or notifications in Android settings.

• Reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in Android settings.

12. CHILDREN

The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will take the necessary action.
