Utsav — Privacy Policy
Utsav makes daily status cards and invitation cards carrying your own name and photo. This policy explains what happens to your information.
Summary
- The app asks for no runtime permissions at all — no location, no contacts, no camera, no microphone. Choosing a photo uses Android's system photo picker, which needs no permission and gives the app only the one picture you pick.
- Your name, your photo and the cards you keep are stored only on your phone.
- Signing in is optional. The app works fully as a guest.
- Utsav has no server of its own. Nothing you type or choose is sent to us, and the developer never sees your name, your photo or the cards you make.
What is stored, and where
- Your name — typed by you, saved on the device so it can be printed on cards.
- Your profile photo — copied into the app's own private storage on your device so it survives Android clearing the temporary cache.
- Cards you keep, and custom cards you build — stored on the device.
- Your language choice (Hindi or English).
All of it stays in the app's private storage. Uninstalling Utsav deletes it.
Signing in with Google
Signing in is optional and only unlocks saving a finished card to your gallery and sharing it. If you choose to sign in, Google returns your name, your email address and your Google profile picture to the app. Those are kept on your device only, to show who is signed in and to pre-fill the name on your cards. They are not transmitted to Nivaro Studios and not shared with anyone.
You can use every other part of the app without signing in. Signing out removes those details from the device.
Saving and sharing a card
When you save a card, the image is written to your device's gallery. When you share one, Android's own share sheet hands the image to whichever app you pick — WhatsApp, Instagram, or anything else. What that app then does with the image is governed by its privacy policy, not this one.
Advertising
The current version of Utsav contains no advertising and no analytics. If a future version adds advertising, this policy will be updated before that version is published, and the store listing's data disclosure will be updated with it.
Children
Utsav is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect anything from them. Since the app collects nothing to begin with, there is nothing held about any user of any age.
Your rights and deletions
Because everything lives on your own device, you are in direct control:
- Change or clear your name and photo on the Profile screen.
- Remove any saved card from the Mine screen.
- Sign out to remove your Google details.
- Uninstalling the app, or clearing its data in Android Settings, erases everything.
We hold no copy, so there is nothing for us to delete on your behalf. If you have a question, write to support@nivarostudios.com.
Grievance redressal
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 requires a published point of contact for privacy questions and complaints. For every Nivaro Studios app that is:
Grievance Officer, Nivaro Studios
support@nivarostudios.com
Delhi, India
We acknowledge a grievance within 48 hours and aim to resolve it within 30 days.
Withdrawing consent
There is no consent to withdraw, because nothing is collected to consent to. If you would like the app to stop holding anything at all, clear its data in Android Settings or uninstall it — that removes everything, immediately and permanently, with no request to us needed.
If there were ever a breach
Your data stays on your phone, so there is no server of ours holding it and no database of ours to breach. In the unlikely event of an incident that nonetheless affected you, we would publish it on this page and notify affected users within 72 hours of becoming aware of it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it, and any change that affects what the app collects will ship alongside the app update that introduces it.
