Privacy Policy

App: Renter / دلعوس – آجر بضاعتك Package name: com.thut.renter Developer: Hamzah Telha Contact: [email protected] Effective date: 11 October 2026 Last updated: 11 October 2026

1. Summary

Renter is a local-first app for recording items you lend or rent out. Everything you enter — rentals, customers, products and photos — is stored only on your device. The app has no account system, no ads, and no server of its own. It only sends data off your device when you explicitly ask it to (a backup to a file or to your own Google Drive), or through optional crash/usage diagnostics described below.

2. Information the app handles

All of the following is created by you and stored on your device in a local database (Room/SQLite) and in app-private file storage:

| Data | Examples | Where it lives | | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | Rental records | Item name, category, customer name, start/end time, cost/rate, deposit, notes, returned flag | On-device database | | Customer records | Name, phone number (optional), note, timestamps | On-device database | | Product records | Item name, optional photo, note, timestamps | On-device database | | Photos | Images you pick for a product, customer or rental | App-private file storage on your device |

Renter does not collect your name, email, location, contacts, calendar, device identifiers or advertising ID for its own use. It does not contain advertising SDKs.

3. How your data is used

Your data is used solely to make the app work: showing your dashboard, listing rentals, autocompleting customer names, calculating running costs, and displaying photos. It is not analyzed, profiled, or used for advertising.

4. Optional backups

Backups happen only when you start them (Settings → Backup).

4.1 Backup to a file

The app exports a JSON snapshot of your rentals, customers and products and writes it to a location you choose through the Android system file picker (for example, your device storage or a cloud provider you have installed). The app has no storage permission and only touches the file you pick. You are responsible for wherever you save that file.

4.2 Backup to your Google Drive

If you choose Save to Drive / Restore from Drive, you sign in with your Google account and the app uploads/downloads a single JSON file named renter-backup.json.

  • The file is stored in the app's hidden appDataFolder in your Google Drive. This folder is private to Renter: other apps and other Drive users cannot see it, and it is not shown in your normal Drive file list.
  • The app requests only the narrow drive.appdata scope, which grants access to this app-private folder and not to the rest of your Drive.
  • The Google sign-in step is handled by Google Play Services. Your Google account credentials are processed by Google and are never seen or stored by the app. The app only receives a short-lived access token from Google to perform the transfer you requested.

If you never use the Drive feature, no Google sign-in happens and no data leaves your device.

5. Diagnostics, analytics and crash reporting (Firebase)

The app can use Google Firebase for three optional purposes:

  • Firebase Analytics — anonymous usage events (for example, "backup exported", "theme changed", "language changed").
  • Firebase Performance Monitoring — timing of operations such as backup export/restore.
  • Firebase Crashlytics — crash reports and non-fatal error information.

These features are disabled unless the app is configured with a Firebase project (google-services.json). When enabled, the data sent to Google includes app usage events, performance timings, and technical crash diagnostics (device model, OS version, app version, stack traces). It does not include the contents of your rentals, customer names, phone numbers, notes or photos.

You can disable analytics collection at the OS level via Settings → Privacy → Ads / Usage & diagnostics on your device.

Firebase processing is governed by Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

6. Sharing with third parties

Renter does not sell or rent your data. Data is shared with third parties only in these cases:

  • Google — when you use the optional Google Drive backup or Firebase diagnostics, as described above.
  • Your chosen file provider — when you export a backup to a file.
  • Legal requirements — none apply to the developer, because the developer never receives your data in the first place.

7. Data storage, retention and deletion

  • Your data is kept on your device for as long as you keep it in the app. There is no automatic expiry.
  • You can delete individual records, or clear all rentals, products or customers from Settings → Data.
  • Uninstalling the app removes the local database and app-private photos from your device.
  • A backup you created (a file, or the appDataFolder copy in Google Drive) remains until you delete it. Delete a file backup wherever you saved it; delete the Drive copy via the app or from Google Drive's Settings → Manage apps area.
  • The developer has no copy of your data and therefore cannot delete it on your behalf — deletion is entirely in your hands.

8. Security

Your data stays in the app's private storage, which is protected by Android's app sandbox and your device's lock screen. Google sign-in and Drive transfers use HTTPS. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure; keep your device locked and be careful where you store exported backup files, since a backup file is not encrypted by the app.

9. Children's privacy

Renter is a business/utility app not directed at children under 13. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children, and it does not collect personal information for the developer at all.

10. Permissions

  • Internet / Network state — used only for the optional Google Drive backup and Firebase diagnostics.

The app requests no location, contacts, camera, microphone, SMS or storage permissions. Photos are chosen through the Android photo picker, which shares only the specific image you select.

11. International users (GDPR / CCPA)

Because Renter stores your data locally and the developer does not collect it, the developer is not a controller of your personal data. Where the optional Firebase features are enabled, technical diagnostics are processed by Google under its own policies. If you are in the EEA/UK or California, you can exercise access, correction and deletion rights directly in the app; the developer holds no data to act on.

12. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, an in-app notice. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.

14. Store listing notes (Google Play)

In your Store Listing Description, clearly state that the app is an organizer/tracker and that it does not process transactions or handle direct payments. This prevents automated review bots from misflagging rental-related keywords (like "rent", "fee", or "due date") as financial or transaction-based features.
