Aangan — Privacy Policy
Effective date: 18 September 2026
Publisher: Kunba
Contact: Ateeshay.jain@gmail.com
The short version. Aangan is local-first. Household data is stored on your iPhone and, when iCloud is available, privately synced through your own Apple account by default. You can pause sync in Settings. Kunba operates no household-data backend and does not collect, sell or use your data for ads, analytics or tracking.
1. Who we are
Aangan is published by Kunba. Version 1.4 has no Kunba account, server login, paid verification service, cloud-AI service, advertising or analytics.
2. Information you can store
Aangan lets you store homes and members; staff names, phone numbers, attendance, salary and advances; bills, expenses, payment methods and ledgers; UPI or bank details you choose to record; assets, warranties, vehicle papers and documents; meals, contacts, to-dos, Lists, calendar events, laundry and handoffs; and photos, scans or PDFs.
Government IDs and financial details are optional. Aangan does not require an Aadhaar or PAN number to use the app.
3. Where information lives
On your iPhone. Records are stored in Aangan's private app databases and files. Local Lists stay only on this iPhone in version 1.4. iOS data protection encrypts app storage at rest; attachment writes use complete file protection.
In your iCloud. When iCloud is available, household sync runs by default through Apple CloudKit. Pause or resume it under More → Settings → iCloud sync. Data is held under your Apple account and processed by Apple under its iCloud terms, not sent to a Kunba backend.
If you deliberately share a home, Apple makes that home's data available only to participants you invite. Every participant is a co-owner of that home: they can read and change everything in it, including documents, photos and scans, and a copy is stored on their iPhone. There are no read-only roles in this version. Do not invite someone you do not trust.
Removing a participant stops new changes reaching them. The copy already on their iPhone stays there until they leave or delete the home in Aangan.
4. What Kunba does not collect
- We do not receive your household records, photos, documents or searches.
- We do not use analytics, telemetry, advertising or crash-reporting SDKs.
- We do not sell, rent or broker personal information.
- We do not track you across apps or websites.
Apple may process iCloud, App Store and opt-in Apple diagnostics data under Apple's own policies. Kunba does not receive private household content through those services.
5. Device permissions
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Camera | Scan receipts, bills and documents. |
| Face ID / device authentication | Open documents or sensitive reports that you lock. |
| Calendars | Optionally export services, bills and expiries to a dedicated Aangan calendar. |
| Notifications | Deliver local reminders you configure. |
Photo imports use Apple's system PhotosPicker, which gives Aangan only the items you select without broad Photo Library authorization. Release does not request microphone, speech-recognition, contacts or location permission.
6. Security
- Sensitive files use iOS complete file protection.
- Records you lock require Face ID or the device passcode before they are shown on this iPhone. The lock is a display gate, not extra encryption: a locked record still syncs to your iCloud and to the co-owners of a shared home, who can unlock it on their own iPhones.
- The app-switcher snapshot is covered while Aangan is inactive.
- iCloud transport and storage security are provided by Apple.
- Aangan has no third-party package dependencies or embedded server secrets.
7. Hand-offs you initiate
Sharing a slip or export, opening a UPI app, WhatsApp, Mail, the dialler or a brand website, and sending a warranty-claim message happen only after you tap. The receiving service then applies its own privacy policy.
8. Access, export and deletion
- You can access, correct and export household records directly in Aangan.
- Deleting an owned home removes its records and attachments locally and sends deletions through that home's iCloud sync.
- Leaving another person's shared home removes your participation without deleting the owner's records.
- Erase all data on this device removes local databases, local Lists, attachments, settings, reminders and managed calendar events. It does not delete other family phones or your existing iCloud copy; signing back in may download synced data again.
- Deleting the app removes its local container but may not delete data already in iCloud or copies exported elsewhere.
Kunba cannot access or delete content in your private iCloud account for you.
9. Children
Aangan is intended for adults managing a household. It is not directed at children, and Kunba does not knowingly collect children's data.
10. Changes and contact
Material policy changes will update the effective date and, where appropriate, be disclosed in the app or release notes.
