Privacy Policy for Visa & Document Expiry

Effective date: 3 July 2026 Last updated: 3 July 2026

Visa & Document Expiry ("the app", "we", "us") is developed by Mobilia Apps. This app is built for travellers who care about their privacy. This policy explains, in plain language, what the app does and does not do with your information.

In short: your passports, visas, traveller details and photos stay on your device. There is no cloud account, no sign-up, and nothing you enter is uploaded to us.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the Visa & Document Expiry Android application (package com.ilyas.ilyasapps.visadocexpiry). By using the app you agree to the practices described here.

Visa & Document Expiry is an offline, local-first travel document tracker. It helps you record passport, visa and other travel-document expiry dates, calculate visa rules (such as the Schengen 90/180 rule and the 6-month passport rule), and scan a passport's machine-readable zone (MRZ) — all on your own device.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide (stored locally only)

You may enter the following, which is stored only in the app's local database and private app storage on your device:

• Traveller details (names, dates of birth, nationality, photos)
• Document details (passports, visas, ESTA/eTA, I-94, residence permits — including document numbers, issue/expiry dates, issuing country)
• Trips and destinations
• Passport photos or document images you add from the camera or gallery

We never receive, transmit, or store any of this information on our servers. It is not synced to any cloud service. There is no account and no login.

2.2 Passport / MRZ Scanning (on-device)

The app includes an optional passport scanner that reads the machine-readable zone (MRZ) of a passport. This uses Google ML Kit on-device text recognition.

• The passport image is processed entirely on your device.
• The passport image is never uploaded, transmitted, or sent to us or to any third party. No internet connection is used for scanning.
• The recognized text is used only to pre-fill the document fields, which you can review and edit before saving.

2.3 Information Collected Automatically

• Crash and diagnostic data: Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics collect anonymized crash reports and aggregate, non-identifying usage statistics to help us fix bugs and improve stability. This data does not include your passports, visas, traveller details, or photos.
• Advertising identifier: The Google AdMob advertising SDK may access your device's Advertising ID to serve banner ads and, subject to your consent, to personalize them.

2.4 Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect or store your travel documents on any server.
• We do not require or collect an email address, phone number, or account.
• We do not collect precise location.
• We do not store any biometric data (see Section 4.3).

3. How We Use Your Information

• Your entered data is used solely on-device to display your documents, calculate expiry countdowns and visa rules, generate reminders, plan trips, and create PDF reports you choose to export.
• Crash/diagnostic data is used to identify and fix technical problems.
• Advertising ID is used to display ads that keep the free version available.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Local Storage

All travel documents, traveller profiles, photos, trips and settings are stored locally on your device in the app's private database (Room / SQLite) and private app storage. This data is not accessible to other apps and is not uploaded anywhere.

4.2 Cloud Storage

This version of the app does not use cloud storage or cloud sync for your travel data. Nothing you enter leaves your device except the PDF reports you explicitly choose to share.

4.3 Biometric App-Lock

The app offers an optional biometric lock (fingerprint / face). This uses your device's own operating-system biometric system. The app does not access, receive, or store any biometric data — the operating system simply returns a success/failure result.

4.4 Security Measures

Because your data stays on your device, its security is tied to your device's own protections (screen lock, encryption). We recommend enabling a device lock and the in-app biometric lock.

5. Data Sharing

5.1 We Do NOT Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

5.2 Third-Party Services

The app includes the following third-party SDKs. Each operates under its own privacy policy:

5.3 Ad Personalization

On first launch (in regions where required, such as the EU/EEA and UK), Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) requests your consent for personalized ads. You can choose non-personalized ads, and you can reset or change your choice at any time in your device's Google ad settings.

6. Photos and Images

If you add a passport or document photo, or a traveller photo, from your camera or gallery, that image is stored only in the app's private storage on your device. Images are not uploaded to us or any third party. The app does not request the Android CAMERA permission — photo capture is delegated to your device's camera app via the system, and MRZ scanning uses on-device processing only.

7. Children's Privacy

Visa & Document Expiry is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will address it — noting that such data would exist only on that child's device.

8. Your Rights and Choices

8.1 Access and Control

Because all of your data lives on your device, you have full control over it at all times within the app.

8.2 Data Deletion

• You can delete any traveller, document, trip, or photo from within the app at any time.
• Uninstalling the app permanently deletes all associated local data from your device. Because we hold none of your travel data on our servers, uninstalling completely removes it.

8.3 Notifications

The app requests notification permission (Android 13+) to send you document-expiry reminders. You can disable these at any time in your device's app notification settings.

8.4 Ad Preferences

You can opt out of personalized advertising via your device's Google ad settings, or remove ads entirely with the one-time Premium purchase.

9. GDPR Compliance (European Users)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, and objection. Since your personal travel data is stored only on your device and not on our servers, you exercise these rights directly by editing or deleting data in the app or by uninstalling it. For questions about the limited diagnostic/advertising data described above, contact us at the address below.

10. Data Retention

We keep your information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy.

• All of your entries stay on your device. We operate no server for this data and never receive a copy of it, so there is nothing for us to retain. Your data is kept until you delete the individual entry, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the App. Uninstalling removes all of it from the device.
• Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics) — automatically deleted after 90 days.
• Analytics data (Firebase Analytics) — retained in aggregated, non-identifying form for a maximum of 14 months, then automatically deleted.
• Support emails — if you contact us, your message is retained for up to 24 months after your enquiry is resolved, then deleted.
• Purchase records — retained by Google Play for the period required by applicable tax and accounting law. We do not hold separate copies.

11. Data Deletion — How to Delete Your Data

You can delete your data at any time. Delete individual entries Open any entry in the App and tap Delete. It is removed immediately from the device. Uninstall Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data from your device. Request deletion by email If you cannot access the App, or you want written confirmation that your data has been erased, email us at muhammadilyas15@gmail.com with the subject line "Visa & Document Expiry – Data Deletion Request". We will verify the request, delete all associated data, and confirm by email within 30 days. There is no charge for this.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at the URL below with an updated effective date.

13. Disclaimer

Visa and document rules shown in the app are informational only and are not immigration or legal advice. Always verify requirements with the official embassy or government source before you travel.
