App Name: Netra Plus – Accessible Smart Utilities

Developer: Netra Innovations

Last Updated: August 2026

Netra Plus is designed with a strong focus on accessibility, especially for blind and visually impaired users. Your privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how it is used, and how it is protected.

1. Information We Collect

Netra Plus collects only the minimum data required for the app to function correctly.

Basic app usage data (for feature functionality)
Device-related information (such as Android version)
Optional account data if you sign in using Google

We do NOT collect personal information such as your name, phone number, address, contacts, or private messages.

2. Google Sign-In & Account Data

If you choose to sign in using Google, we receive a unique user ID from Google. This ID is used only to:

Restore your app preferences
Maintain favorites and customization settings
Restore ad-removal subscription status (if applicable)

We do not access your Google password, emails, or contacts.

3. Subscription & Payments

Netra Plus may offer an optional subscription to remove advertisements.

All payments are handled securely by Google Play Billing
We do not see or store payment details
Subscription status is checked only to enable or disable ads

4. Advertisements

Free users may see advertisements provided by Google AdMob.

Ads may use device identifiers as per Google policies
No personal data is shared by Netra Plus directly
Paid users will see no ads

5. Permissions Used

Netra Plus may request the following permissions:

Camera – for Talking Camera Guidance features
Microphone – for voice-based features
All Files Access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) – Essential for managing, organizing, and deleting OCR results, PDF documents, and audio recordings across system storage.
Internet – for online features and ads
Accessibility Services – to support TalkBack users

Detailed Storage Permission: Netra Plus is an accessibility tool for the blind that includes a 'Netra File Manager' as a core feature. The MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is essential for our users to manage, organize, and delete their OCR results, PDF documents, and audio recordings across system storage. Standard Scoped Storage is insufficient for the full-featured file management required by our visually impaired users. All processing is 100% offline and local.

Permissions are used only when required and only for the related feature.

6. Accessibility Commitment

Netra Plus is built for accessibility-first usage:

Full TalkBack support
Voice announcements using Text-to-Speech
No gesture-only critical actions
Clear spoken feedback for actions

7. Data Storage & Security

All user data is stored securely:

Local data stored on your device
Optional cloud data stored securely using Firebase
No data is sold or shared with third parties

8. Children’s Privacy

Netra Plus does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe such data has been collected, please contact us immediately.

9. User Control

You can:

Remove favorites and settings at any time
Uninstall the app to remove local data
Contact us to request data deletion (if applicable)

10. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page.
