Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 24, 2026
Last Updated: September 24, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Invoicely - Invoice & Billing Manager (the "App"), developed and operated by Shivyn App Studios ("we", "us", or "our"), handles your information when you use the App on your Android device. By downloading or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information You Provide (Email Address & Phone Number)

To provide core invoicing functionality, the App allows you to optionally enter and store the following contact information:

• Business Profile: Your business email address and phone number (to display on your invoice headers and payment details).
• Client Directory: Your clients' email addresses and phone numbers (to populate recipient billing details on generated invoices).

App Functionality Only: Providing an email address or phone number is entirely optional. This information is used strictly for App Functionality—specifically to populate and format your PDF invoices and manage your local client address book. We do not use your email address or phone number for marketing, tracking, or selling to third parties.

2. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All business records, invoices, and client contact details (including names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, tax IDs, and bank details) are stored locally on your device using secure on-device storage (AsyncStorage). We do not operate a cloud database or remote user account system; your invoice data is never transmitted to our servers.

You have full control over your data. You can edit or delete individual invoices, clients, or business profile fields directly inside the App, or permanently erase all data by clearing the App storage in Android Settings or uninstalling the App.

3. Permissions We Use

The App requests only the minimum permissions necessary to function:

• INTERNET: Used to load Google AdMob advertisements and verify ad network connectivity.
• AD_ID (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID): Used by the Google Mobile Ads SDK on Android 13+ devices to serve relevant advertising and prevent ad fraud.

4. Third-Party Services & Advertising (Google AdMob)

The App integrates Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK) to display banner and interstitial advertisements. Google AdMob may collect and process device identifiers, advertising identifiers (Android Advertising ID), and app diagnostics in accordance with Google's privacy policies to provide personalized or contextual advertising and analyze ad performance.

For more information on how Google collects and uses data, please review the Google Advertising Privacy Policy and Google Privacy Policy.

The core PDF generation and invoice calculation run entirely on your local device without sending your document contents to any external server.

5. Data Security

Since we do not collect or store any personal data on remote servers, there is no remote server data that can be compromised. All local data resides on your physical device, protected by Android's device-level security and sandbox architecture. We recommend keeping your device's operating system updated and securing your phone with a passcode or biometric lock.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is a general-audience business utility application and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will assist in clearing any local data.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
