Privacy Policy – My Society Khata

Last updated: 10 September 2026

My Society Khata is designed to help apartment and housing society treasurers manage society accounts, maintenance, flats/owners, recurring expenses, reports, reminders, and backups. This Privacy Policy explains how the app handles your information.

1. Information the App May Handle

Depending on how you use the app, My Society Khata may store or process information such as:

  • Society or apartment name
  • Treasurer name and phone number
  • Flat number, owner name, phone number, WhatsApp number and related notes
  • Maintenance amounts, dues, advances and payment records
  • Cash and bank account information entered by the user
  • Income, expense, recurring payment and transaction details
  • Backup metadata and app settings

2. Contacts Permission

If you choose to pick an owner from your phone contacts, the app may request permission to read contacts. This is used only to help you select a contact and populate owner details such as name and phone number.

Contact information is not uploaded to our servers by the app. You may also enter or edit owner details manually.

3. Google Drive Backup

My Society Khata can connect to your Google account to create and restore backups in Google Drive. Google authentication is handled by Google. The app does not ask for or store your Google password.

Backup files may contain society financial and owner information. Backups are encrypted before upload. Access to those files is controlled by the Google account you choose.

4. Local Storage

Most app data is stored locally on your Android device so that the app can work even when you are offline. Local backups may also be created on the device when you choose to do so.

5. WhatsApp, Email and Sharing

The app may prepare messages, reminders, reports, CSV files, PDF files or backup files for sharing through WhatsApp, email or other apps installed on your device.

When you share information, that information is sent through the app or service you select. Their privacy policies and terms apply to that sharing.

6. Biometric and Device Authentication

My Society Khata may use Android biometric authentication or your device PIN/password to help protect access to the app. Biometric data is handled by Android and your device. The app does not receive or store your fingerprint or biometric template.

7. Internet Access

Internet access may be used for features such as Google Drive backup/restore, checking for app updates, opening help pages, and sharing through external services. Core accounting features are designed to work offline.

8. Data Sharing and Sale

We do not sell your personal information or society financial data.

Data is only shared when you choose to use features such as Google Drive backup, WhatsApp, email, report sharing or other external services.

9. Data Retention

Data remains on your device until you edit, delete, restore, reset or uninstall the app, subject to Android behavior. Google Drive backups remain in your Google Drive according to the backup retention behavior configured in the app.

My Society Khata is designed to keep the latest backups for a limited period, currently up to the latest 7 backups, where applicable.

10. Restore and Treasurer Handover

The app supports restoring an existing backup when setting up a new device. This is intended to support handover of society accounting responsibility from one authorized treasurer or administrator to another.

Users should only restore backups they are authorized to access.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable safeguards within the app, including local device security support and encrypted backups. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Children

My Society Khata is intended for society treasurers, committee members, and other authorized adults. It is not designed specifically for children.

13. Third-Party Services

The app may interact with third-party services such as Google Play, Google Drive, WhatsApp, email applications, Android system services, and other apps you choose for sharing. Those services operate under their own privacy policies.

14. Your Choices

You control the information entered into the app. You can:

  • Edit or deactivate flat/owner records
  • Manage transactions and recurring expenses
  • Disconnect or stop using Google Drive backup
  • Create or restore backups
  • Remove the app from your device
  • Control app permissions through Android Settings

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when features, legal requirements, or data-handling practices change. The latest version will be published on this website.
