This Privacy Policy explains how MeraParichay (“the App”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use our offline digital business card app for iPhone. Apple App Store reviewers and users may rely on this page as the official public policy.
1. Who we are
MeraParichay is an offline-first digital business card app for iOS. You create contact profiles on your iPhone and can share them as QR codes, VCF files, or NFC tag payloads. The App does not require a cloud account or an online profile page.
Questions: info@kamalwelding.in
2. Information the App uses
MeraParichay is designed to keep your business card data on your iPhone. We do not operate a user account system and we do not run our own cloud database for profiles, backups, or shared contacts.
Depending on how you use the App, local data may include:
- Name, company, job title, phone, email, website, address, and social links you enter
- Optional profile photos you choose from your photo library
- Imported or scanned contact payloads (QR / VCF / NFC)
- Local backup files you export or import
3. On-device storage
Profiles and related files are stored in the App’s local sandbox using Apple technologies such as SwiftData and the device filesystem. You can delete individual profiles or all local data from Settings. Uninstalling the App removes this local App data.
4. NFC
If you use NFC features, the App may write a vCard-style contact payload to a compatible NFC tag you present, or read a supported payload from a tag. NFC content is processed on your device for that session. We do not receive a copy of NFC reads or writes on our servers.
Physical NFC cards you write remain under your control. Anyone who later scans that card can see the contact information you placed on it.
5. Camera and QR codes
The App may request camera access to scan QR business cards. Scanned content is processed on your device so you can preview and optionally save a contact. Generated QR images encode a self-contained vCard payload and are not uploaded to our servers.
6. Photos
If you grant photo library access, you may choose a profile photo or save a generated QR image to Photos. The App does not upload your photo library to our servers.
7. Contacts
If you grant Contacts permission, MeraParichay can optionally save an imported contact into your iOS address book. This happens only when you choose that action. We do not sync your full address book to our servers.
8. Sharing and backups
When you share a QR image, VCF file, text summary, or backup file through the iOS share sheet, the recipient (or the destination app you select) receives the data you send. Local backup export/import is for your own device or the files you choose to transfer. We do not host those backups.
9. Advertising and analytics
MeraParichay does not currently include third-party advertising SDKs such as Google AdMob, and it does not send profile content to analytics servers operated by us.
10. What we do not do
- We do not create cloud user accounts or require sign-in.
- We do not host public online profile pages for your cards.
- We do not upload your business card data to a MeraParichay server.
- We do not sell your personal information.
11. Sharing
We share information only in these cases:
- You choose to share. You can share QR codes, VCF files, NFC tags, or backup files using iOS share options or physical tags.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect users, the App, or others.
12. Your choices
- You can deny camera, photos, contacts, or NFC-related permission in iOS Settings. Related features will not work without the needed permission.
- You can edit or delete profiles inside the App.
- You can delete all local profiles from Settings.
- You can remove remaining App data by deleting the App.
- Rewriting or discarding a physical NFC card is under your control; uninstalling the App does not erase tags already written.
13. Children
MeraParichay is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
14. Security
Profile data remains in the iOS app sandbox on your device until you share it. No security practice is perfect. Please keep your device locked and updated. If you share a card, QR, VCF, or NFC tag, recipients can see the contact details you included.
15. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App or our practices change. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
