Khatabook ("we", "us") is built and operated by Snakescript. This page explains what data the Khatabook mobile app collects, why, where it is stored, and how you can access or delete it.
The app works fully offline. Every contact, transaction, business name, category, and reminder you enter is stored only on your device, in a private SQLite database the operating system sandboxes for our app. Other apps cannot read it. We cannot read it. It does not leave your phone unless you choose to sign in and sync.
Sign-in is optional. If you tap "Continue with Google", we ask Google
for your basic identity using the standard OAuth scopes
openid email profile:
sub).We do not request access to your Gmail, Drive, contacts, calendar, or any other Google service. We do not use your data for advertising or share it with third parties.
When you tap "Sync now", the app uploads a single JSON snapshot of your ledger (contacts, transactions, business name) to our server, tagged with your Google account ID. We store one such snapshot per user. New syncs overwrite the previous snapshot. We do not retain version history.
The connection is over HTTPS (TLS 1.2 or higher). At rest, the snapshot sits in a PostgreSQL database on a server we control, accessible only to the application process and authenticated server administrators.
Khatabook is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.
If we materially change how the app handles data, we will update this page and bump the "Last updated" date. We will also note the change in the app's release notes.
