CAPD Helper Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy for CAPD Helper
Last Updated: July 22, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how CAPD Helper ("the app," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our mobile application. Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. Our core principle is that all sensitive data processing occurs locally on your device.
1. Introduction
CAPD Helper is an independent, third-party tool designed to assist Ration Store dealers in Jammu & Kashmir with their daily operations. This policy explains what information the app handles and why, ensuring transparency and security for our users.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the CAPD Helper app, you agree to the handling of information as described in this policy.
2. Disclaimer and Source of Government Information
Independent Tool: CAPD Helper is an unofficial application and is NOT a government app. It is not affiliated with, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with any Indian government entity, including the Food and Consumer Affairs Department.
Source of Information: The app facilitates access to and processing of data from the official Jammu & Kashmir ePOS website, which is publicly available at: JKepos site: https://epos.jk.gov.in
3. Information We Handle (and Do Not Collect)
Our fundamental privacy promise is simple: CAPD Helper does not collect, save, or transmit your personal data or your business data to any server. All processing happens exclusively on your device.
a) Data You Provide:
Ration Card (RC) List: To use the "Pending Sales List Generator," you must upload your store's complete Ration Card list (in .csv, .xls, .xlsx, or .txt format). This file is accessed from your device's local storage.
How it's handled: This file is read by the app and processed locally on your device to be compared against sales data. It is never uploaded to our servers or shared with any third party. It remains in your device's memory only for the duration of the comparison process.
ePOS Sales Data: To use the "Pending Sales List Generator" and "Single Fingerprint Finder," you copy your sales transaction data from the J&K ePOS website and paste it into the app.
How it's handled: This data is processed locally on your device to generate reports. It is never uploaded to our servers or shared with any third party.
b) Automatically Collected Information:
The app does not automatically collect any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as your name, location, or device ID. We do not use advertising or analytics trackers that collect personal data. Standard, non-personal, anonymous diagnostic data (like crash reports) may be collected by Google Play Services to help us identify and fix bugs, but this data is not linked to you or your data files.
4. How We Use Information
The information you provide is used solely for the core functionality of the app, which occurs entirely on your device:
To Generate Pending Sales Lists: To compare your RC list against your sales data to identify beneficiaries who have not yet collected their rations.
To Find Single Fingerprint Transactions: To analyze your sales data to identify ration cards with incomplete transactions.
5. Data Storage, Security, and Sharing
Local Processing: This is our key security feature. All comparisons and analyses of your RC lists and sales data are performed on your phone or tablet. Your data never leaves your device via our app.
No Server Storage: We do not have servers to store your RC lists or sales data. Once you close the app or start a new task, the previously used data is discarded from the app's memory.
Exported Reports: When you export a report as a PDF, or Word file, that file is saved directly to your device's local storage under your control. The app does not have access to these files after they are created. You are responsible for the security and sharing of any reports you export and save.
No Third-Party Sharing: Since we do not collect, save, or store your personal or business data, we have no data to share, sell, or rent to any third parties.
6. App Permissions
CAPD Helper may request the following permissions on your Android device:
Storage Access (Read/Write External Storage): This permission is required for two reasons:
To allow you to select and upload your RC list file from your device's storage.
To save the generated reports (PDF, Excel, etc.) to your device's storage.
We do not access any other files on your storage, and this permission is used only for the explicit functions described above.
7. Children's Privacy
The app is intended for use by Ration Store dealers and is not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with information, we will take steps to delete such information.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
