amiBidesh (“we,” “our,” or “the App”) is a mobile application developed by Microters LLC (“the Company”) designed to assist Bangladeshi migrant workers living abroad. The App provides tools for document tracking, live remittance rate comparison, AI-powered contract analysis, embassy information, prayer times, and access to migrant community resources.

Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you use amiBidesh, you may voluntarily provide:

• Profile information: Full name, gender, phone number, address, current country of residence, profile photo (optional).
• Document data: Photos of identification documents (passport, akama/iqama, visa, BMET card, medical certificate, driving license, NID, etc.) and the extracted text from them (document numbers, issue dates, expiry dates, issuing country).
• Contract documents: Photos of employment contracts uploaded for AI analysis.

2.2 Information Automatically Collected

• Device location (optional): Approximate GPS location, used only when you grant permission, to determine your current country for prayer times and embassy information. You can deny or revoke this permission at any time.
• App preferences: Notification settings, app language, and other preferences you configure within the App.

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

What we never touch

• We do not collect your contacts, call logs, SMS, or browsing history.
• We do not track your activity outside the App.
• We do not collect biometric data (fingerprint, face).
• We do not use advertising IDs or behavioral tracking.

How Your Information Is Stored

3.1 Local Storage (On Your Device)

All personal information you provide is stored only on your device. This includes profile information, documents and their scanned data, contract analyses, notification preferences, and cached data (rates, news).

We do not maintain user accounts on our servers. We do not have a database of users. If you uninstall the App or use the in-app logout feature, all locally stored data is permanently deleted.

3.2 Temporary Processing by Third-Party AI

When AI processing happens

When you choose to scan a document or analyze an employment contract, the photo is temporarily transmitted to Google's Gemini AI for text extraction and analysis. According to Google's policies, the image is processed and discarded after the response. Google does not use this data to train its models when accessed via the paid API, and the image is not stored on our servers at any point.

3.3 Server-Side Caching (Anonymous)

Our server-side services for remittance rates and migrant news perform their own data fetching and caching for performance. These services do not receive any personal information about you — they serve the same cached data to all users.

3.4 Device-Level Backup (Optional)

If you have enabled Android's standard backup service (Settings → Google → Backup) on your device, your Google account may automatically include amiBidesh's data in your device backup. This backup is:

• Stored in your own Google Drive, not on our servers.
• Controlled by you through your Android device settings.
• Used to restore your data if you reinstall the App on the same or a new device (signed in with the same Google account).

We do not access, read, or process this backup. It is between you and Google. You can disable this at any time in your device's backup settings.

How We Use Information

We use the information collected solely to operate the App's features for you:

• Document tracking: To show you your saved documents and remind you of upcoming expiry dates.
• Contract analysis: To extract and present analysis of employment contracts.
• Prayer times & embassy info: To show prayer times and embassy details relevant to your location.
• Personalization: To greet you by name and show country-relevant information.
• Notifications (when enabled): To remind you of document expiry dates.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third party for marketing, use your data for advertising, or profile you for behavioral targeting.

Service	Purpose	Data Sent
Google Gemini AI (Google LLC)	Document OCR and contract analysis	Document/contract image only, when you initiate a scan
Frankfurter API	Live currency exchange rates	None — only public rate data is fetched

Permissions Requested

• Camera: To photograph documents and contracts for scanning. You can choose gallery instead.
• Photos & Media: To select existing photos from your gallery for document or profile use.

Children's Privacy

amiBidesh is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us at info@microters.com and we will help remove it.

Your Rights and Choices

• Access: All your data is visible within the App at any time.

• Delete: Use the in-app "Logout" function to permanently delete all your data from the device.
• Uninstall: Uninstalling the App removes all local data.
• Permission revocation: Disable camera, location, or notification permissions through device settings.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. All sensitive data remains on your device, communication uses HTTPS encryption, and photos/images are stored in the App's private sandbox storage, inaccessible to other apps. However, no system is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a device lock (PIN, fingerprint, password) for additional security.

International Users

amiBidesh is intended for Bangladeshi nationals living abroad. Your data is processed on your device (in your country of residence). When you use AI features, data is transmitted to Google's servers, which may be located in the United States or other countries. By using the App, you consent to this transmission.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the App evolves. Any changes will be posted at this URL with an updated "Last Updated" date. Significant changes will be communicated through an in-app notice. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
