Jai Home Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 September 2026 · Product of Jai Appz
Who we are
Jai Home is a household expense and budget app published by Jai Appz. For the current version, the developer does not operate a cloud ledger or user accounts.
Data we store
On your device only (unless you share a file yourself):
- Display name and household name
- Expenses, income, budgets, categories, repeating rules, named pay-from pockets
- Join material (treat the join code like a password)
- Optional share metadata (for example, last shared time)
Amounts are stored as integer paise. We do not use advertising IDs.
Data we do not collect
- No Jai Home cloud account, email, or Google Sign-In in this version
- No SMS or call logs
- No contacts list (system share sheet only)
- No precise location
- No microphone in the current version
- No analytics or ads SDKs in the MVP binary
Sharing
When you tap Share or Export CSV, you choose where the file goes (WhatsApp, Files, same Wi‑Fi, spreadsheet apps). That is user-initiated. The household package is encrypted; CSV is a spreadsheet dump. We do not upload your ledger to a Jai Appz server.
Permissions
| Permission | When |
|---|---|
| Camera | Only when you scan a household join QR or Wi‑Fi share QR |
| Local / nearby network | Only when you start same‑Wi‑Fi share |
| Internet / Wi‑Fi state | For the system share sheet and LAN checks — not for a Jai Home API |
We do not request camera or network access at first launch.
Deletion
In the app: More → Delete data on this phone removes the local database, keys, and related files on this device. Other family phones cannot be erased remotely. There is no web account to delete because there is no cloud account.
Children
Jai Home is not directed at children. It is a household finance tool.
Changes
If data practices change (for example SMS or cloud features), this policy and the Google Play Data Safety form will be updated before those features ship.
