Vamra ("we", "our", or "us") is a business card scanner and contact manager. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Vamra app.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly:
- Account info: your name and email address when you register.
- Business card data: contact names, companies, job titles, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, and addresses that you scan or enter manually.
- Card images: photos of business cards you capture or upload.
- Profile info: profession, industry, and usage preferences you optionally provide during onboarding.
- Device token: a push notification token so we can send you reminders.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information solely to operate and improve Vamra:
- To store and display your saved business cards.
- To run AI-powered OCR and search on your cards.
- To send push notification reminders you schedule.
- To auto-enrich card data with publicly available business context.
We do not sell your data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising.
3. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers (MongoDB Atlas) with encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and never stored in plain text. Session tokens expire after 30 days.
4. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- OpenRouter / Google Gemini: for AI-powered card scanning and search. Card images and text are sent to these services for processing.
- Expo Push Notifications: to deliver reminders to your device via FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging).
- MongoDB Atlas: for secure cloud database storage.
5. Camera and Photo Access
We request camera permission to let you scan business cards. We request photo library access to let you pick existing card images. We only access your camera or photos when you actively use the scan feature. Card images are stored in your account to display alongside contact details.
6. Data Retention
Your data is retained as long as your account is active. You can delete individual cards at any time from the app. You can permanently delete your entire account and all associated data from the Profile screen.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you (visible in the app).
- Export your data (CSV export available in Profile).
- Delete your account and all data permanently (available in Profile → Delete Account).
- Contact us with any data-related request.
8. Children's Privacy
Vamra is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via the app or email. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
