PayTarang Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 3 November 2026
Last Updated: 3 November 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to PayTarang.

PayTarang is a family of mobile applications developed to simplify everyday business operations and digital payments for individuals, retailers and small businesses.

Our applications are designed with a focus on simplicity, user privacy and offline-first functionality wherever applicable.

This Privacy Policy explains how PayTarang applications access, collect, use, store and protect information when you use our applications.

This policy applies to the following applications:

PayTarang: UPI Soundbox – An application that announces incoming UPI payments by reading supported payment notifications.
PayTarang: Single Store Retail – An offline-first retail management application for managing products, inventory, sales, orders and customers.
PayTarang: UPI QR Generator – An application for generating UPI payment QR codes using merchant-provided payment details.

By using any PayTarang application, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Access and Process

The information processed depends on which PayTarang application you use and which features you enable.

2.1 PayTarang: UPI Soundbox

PayTarang: UPI Soundbox uses Android notification access to identify supported UPI payment notifications and announce incoming payments.

Depending on the supported payment application and notification format, the application may access:

Payment amount.
Payment application or provider name.
Payer name or payment-related description, when available in the notification.
Transaction reference or identifier, when available.
Notification date and time.

This information is used to identify payment notifications and generate corresponding audio announcements.

Notification Access:

The application requires notification access permission to detect payment notifications from supported applications.

This permission may technically allow Android applications to expose notifications from other apps. PayTarang uses this access for its payment announcement functionality and should process only notifications relevant to supported payment announcements.

We do not request access to your UPI PIN, banking passwords, card details or banking credentials.

PayTarang does not initiate, authorise or process UPI transactions. Actual payment processing takes place through your bank and the relevant UPI payment service provider.

2.2 PayTarang: Single Store Retail

PayTarang: Single Store Retail is designed to operate offline.

Information that may be entered and stored within the application includes:

Product and Inventory Information

Product names and descriptions.
Product categories.
Product prices.
Stock quantities.
Other product-related information entered by the shop owner.

Order and Sales Information

Order details.
Purchased products and quantities.
Sale amounts.
Discounts, where applicable.
Payment method and payment status, where recorded.
Order dates and transaction history.

Customer Information

Customer names.
Phone numbers.
Other contact details voluntarily entered by the shop owner.
Customer purchase and order history.

Business Information

Store name and other business details entered by the user.
Business preferences and application settings.
Locally generated reports and statistics.

This information is used exclusively to provide the retail management functionality of the application.

The application is designed to store and process its operational data locally on the user's device without requiring a continuous internet connection.

2.3 PayTarang: UPI QR Generator

PayTarang: UPI QR Generator allows users to create UPI payment QR codes using payment information supplied by them.

Depending on the features used, the application may process:

UPI ID or Virtual Payment Address (VPA).
Merchant or recipient name.
Merchant details entered by the user.
Payment amount, if the user chooses to generate an amount-specific QR code.
Transaction notes or other optional information supported by the application.

This information is used to generate a corresponding UPI QR code.

The application does not collect UPI PINs, banking passwords or other banking authentication credentials.

Generating a QR code does not itself initiate or complete a payment. Payments are completed through the UPI application and payment service provider selected by the payer.

3. How We Use Information

Information processed by PayTarang applications is used for the following purposes:

To provide the application's intended functionality.
To generate payment announcements.
To manage products and inventory.
To create and maintain orders and sales records.
To manage customer information.
To generate business reports and statistics.
To generate UPI payment QR codes.
To maintain application preferences and settings.
To troubleshoot technical issues and improve application reliability.
To respond to user support requests.

We do not use personal information for purposes unrelated to the application's functionality without appropriate disclosure and consent.

4. Offline Data Storage

PayTarang applications are designed to minimise dependence on remote servers.

Where information is stored locally, it remains on the user's device and is accessible to the application for its intended functionality.

Depending on the application and features enabled:

Retail records may be stored in the application's local database.
Saved carts and order information may be retained on the device.
QR code details may be processed locally to generate QR codes.
Payment notification information may be processed on the device to generate announcements.

Uninstalling an application or clearing its application data may permanently remove locally stored information.

Users are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of important business information where backup functionality is available.

Any backup exported or created by the user may contain personal or business information. Users should store such backups securely.

5. Permissions Used by Our Applications

PayTarang applications may request Android permissions required for their respective features.

The permissions requested depend on the application.

Notification Access

Used by PayTarang: UPI Soundbox to identify supported payment notifications and generate payment announcements.

Contacts Permission (Optional)

Where contact-import functionality is provided, this permission may be used to allow the user to select customer contact details from their device.

Contact information is accessed only when the user chooses to use the relevant functionality.

Microphone or Camera (If Applicable)

If a particular application version provides a feature requiring microphone or camera access, the purpose of that permission will be explained within the application before it is requested.

Storage and File Access

Where applicable, file access may be used to export, import or restore business data and application backups.

We aim to request only the permissions necessary to provide the features of our applications.

Users can manage or revoke application permissions through Android device settings. Revoking a permission may affect the corresponding functionality.

6. Information Sharing and Third-Party Services

We do not sell users' personal information.

Our applications are designed to perform their primary functions locally wherever possible.

We do not share locally stored retail records, customer contact details, payment notification contents or QR generation details with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

However, certain third-party services may be involved in distributing, maintaining or supporting our applications.

These may include:

Google Play services for application distribution and updates.
Google Play Billing, if applicable, for processing in-app purchases.
Crash reporting and diagnostic services, if integrated.
Other technical service providers required for specific application functionality.

Such services may process limited technical or diagnostic information according to their respective privacy policies and the integrations enabled in the application.

We may also disclose information when required by applicable law, a valid legal process or a lawful request from a competent authority.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information processed through PayTarang applications.

These measures may include:

Local application data storage.
Android platform security mechanisms.
Restricting access to application data.
Secure communication where information is transmitted.
Appropriate handling of exported backup files.

However, no electronic storage system or method of data transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should protect their devices with appropriate screen locks and avoid sharing exported business backups with unauthorised individuals.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

For information stored locally on the device, the user generally controls its retention through application features and Android device settings.

Users may delete relevant information using available application functionality.

Users may also clear application data or uninstall the application. Such actions may permanently remove locally stored information.

If an application provides an online account, cloud storage or another remote data-processing feature, information associated with that feature may be retained separately until deletion is requested or the applicable retention period expires.

For deletion requests involving information processed by us outside the device, users may contact us using the contact details provided in this policy.

We will handle such requests in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Information that must be retained to comply with legal obligations may be retained for the required period.

9. Children's Privacy

PayTarang applications are designed for business owners, retailers and general users.

They are not specifically designed or directed towards children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child in circumstances where such collection is not permitted, we will take appropriate steps to address it.

10. User Rights and Choices

Depending on applicable law, users may have rights relating to their personal information, including:

The right to obtain information about personal data being processed.
The right to request correction of inaccurate information.
The right to request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable legal requirements.
The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
The right to raise a grievance or privacy-related complaint.

Users may also control Android permissions and delete locally stored application information through available application features and device settings.
