Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 18, 2026

1. Introduction

PagarPulse ("we", "our", or "us"), operated by Tapas Dutta, helps construction contractors track worker attendance (hajri), advances (kharchi), wage settlement (pagar), and a site cashbook. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using PagarPulse you agree to this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only what the app needs to work:

• Account information: your mobile phone number (used to sign in via a one-time code), and optionally your name and business name.
• Records you enter: your workers' names and — only if you choose to add them — their phone numbers and photos; your sites/projects; daily attendance; advances; wage payments; and cashbook income/expense entries.
• Device information: a push-notification token and basic device type/OS, used to send the reminders you enable.
• Diagnostics: limited error logs to keep the app working. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.

The workers and site owners you record do not have accounts and never sign in. The data you enter about them is your business record, which you control.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To sign you in with a one-time code sent to your phone number.
• To store your records on your device and back them up to our servers so you can restore them on a new phone by signing in with the same number.
• To calculate attendance summaries, wages, balances, and cashbook totals.
• To generate PDF/slip reports and share links that you choose to send (for example, over WhatsApp).
• To send the daily/weekly reminders you turn on.

4. How Your Data Is Stored

PagarPulse is offline-first: your data is saved on your phone first and works without a connection. When you are online it is backed up to our servers (hosted on secure infrastructure) so it is not lost if your phone is lost or replaced. Your backup is tied to your phone number.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your data or share it for advertising. We only disclose information:

• When you share it: if you generate a PDF or a share link (e.g. a worker's wage slip or a report), anyone you send that link to can view that specific document. You control when and to whom you share.
• To service providers: infrastructure and hosting partners that run our servers on our behalf, under confidentiality obligations.
• For legal reasons: if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. You are always in control:

• Delete all data in the app (More → Account → Delete all data) wipes your workers, attendance, advances, payments, settlements and cashbook, while keeping your login.
• Delete account in the app (More → Account → Delete account) removes your account and associated data.
• You can also request deletion from the web — see our Account & Data Deletion page.

7. Security

We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), scoped access so one contractor can never see another's data, and an optional PIN/biometric app lock. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.

8. Children's Privacy

PagarPulse is intended for business use by adults (18+) and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

9. Your Rights

You may access, correct, export, or delete your data at any time from within the app, or by contacting us. Export options are available in More → Export data.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected here with a new effective date.
