Terms of Use
Version {{VERSION}} · Effective {{EFFECTIVE}}
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and {{OWNER}}, {{ADDRESS}} (“we”, “us”, “the Owner”), the owner and operator of Smarāmiii (the “App”). These Terms are an electronic record under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules made under it, and do not need a physical or digital signature. By ticking the boxes and selecting “Agree and continue”, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Eligibility
- You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
- If you use the App on behalf of an office, party, department or organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these Terms for it, and it is bound by them too.
2. What the App is
- Smarāmiii is a personal memory aid. It helps you record and recall the names, faces, relationships and context of people you meet.
- Everything you enter is stored only on the device where you installed the App. We do not receive, store, back up or have access to it.
- The App can remind you of important days, tasks, health goals and events, and prepare greeting and reminder messages. It does not send messages itself. Any wish is sent from your own WhatsApp, SMS or email account, in your name, when you choose to send it. You are responsible for every message you send.
- The App is not a government service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any government, ministry, election authority or public body.
- The App is not an identity-verification tool. Never rely on it alone to confirm who someone is for an official, legal, financial or security decision.
3. Price and licence
- Smarāmiii is currently offered free of charge. No payment, licence code or account is needed to use it.
- We may introduce a paid licence or paid features in future. If we do, we will tell you in the App before any charge applies. You will never be charged without agreeing to it, and you will always be free to stop using the App and keep your own backup.
- You receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the App on your own devices under these Terms.
- Reinstalling does not bring back Your Content, which exists only on the device where you entered it. Use “Backup & restore” to move it.
- You must not copy, modify, resell or redistribute the App, or remove or get around any licence check that we add in future.
4. Your content, your device and your responsibility
- Everything you enter, including names, photos, relationships, workplaces, schools, phone numbers, email addresses, birthdays, anniversaries and other dates, gender, sexuality, caste and sub-caste, likes, dislikes, hobbies and interests, money lent or borrowed, places, memory cues and notes, is “Your Content”. You own it and you alone decide why and how it is used.
- Your Content never leaves your device through the App. For the personal data of the people you save, you are solely responsible for it. Where the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”) applies, you are the Data Fiduciary.
- You confirm that you obtain every detail and photo openly and lawfully, give any notice and get any consent the law requires, and keep Your Content accurate.
- You are responsible for securing your device with a screen lock and for anyone who uses it. Anyone with access to your unlocked device can see Your Content.
- Loss of data. Because we keep no copy, we cannot recover Your Content if your device is lost, stolen, damaged, reset, or if the App is uninstalled or its data cleared. Keeping backups using the App’s “Backup & restore” feature is your responsibility.
5. Acceptable use: what you must not do
You must not use the App to:
- stalk, track, harass, threaten, intimidate, shame or blackmail any person, or monitor anyone’s movements;
- map a person’s family, friends or workplace in order to pressure, coerce, harm or retaliate against them or their relatives;
- build profiles of people to discriminate against them on the basis of religion, caste, tribe, gender, sexual orientation, disability, language, region or political opinion;
- profile, target or influence voters in breach of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, election law or the Model Code of Conduct, or offer any inducement;
- store Aadhaar numbers, PAN, passport or voter-ID numbers, bank or card details, passwords, PINs or OTPs, health or medical records, or biometric data (the App blocks some of these automatically);
- record a child’s personal data (for example a son’s or daughter’s school details) beyond what is necessary and without verifiable consent from their parent or lawful guardian;
- upload photos taken secretly or without the person’s knowledge, intimate or sexual images, or any image that violates someone’s privacy or dignity;
- store or share any content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, invasive of privacy, hateful, or otherwise prohibited under Rule 3(1)(b) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021;
- record anyone’s caste, sub-caste, gender identity or sexuality without their knowledge, reveal it to others, or use it to discriminate against, exclude, “out”, shame or target any person or group, or to appeal for votes on the ground of caste or community (section 123(3) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951);
- use the money records to lend money as a business without the licence your State’s money-lenders law requires, to charge unlawful or usurious interest, or to harass or threaten anyone over a debt;
- send bulk, unsolicited, commercial or political messages, or any message that breaches the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2018, election law or the Model Code of Conduct; greetings must be personal, and must stop if the person asks;
- impersonate any person or falsely claim an official position;
- sell, rent, publish or transfer Your Content, backup files, or data taken from the App, to any third party;
- copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile or redistribute the App, remove its licence checks, or introduce malware;
- use the App or its content to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models;
- break any law in force in India or in the place where you use the App.
Using the App for a forbidden purpose is a material breach of these Terms. We may cancel your licence without refund and may report unlawful activity to the authorities.
6. Confidentiality
- Your duty. Information you record about other people and their families, friends and colleagues is confidential. Use it only to remember and serve them properly. Do not disclose it to anyone who has no lawful need for it, and do not use it against anyone’s interests.
- Backups. A backup file contains all Your Content. Store it securely and do not share it. You are responsible for any disclosure from a backup file.
- Our duty. We do not receive Your Content. Any information you send us yourself, for example in a support request, is treated as confidential, used only to help you, and disclosed only when required by law.
- These confidentiality obligations continue after your licence ends.
7. Intellectual property
- The App, the name “Smarāmiii”, “स्मरामि”, the logo, designs, text, software and licence system belong to the Owner and are protected by law. Your licence gives you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the App on your own devices under these Terms. No other right is granted.
- If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them freely without any obligation to you.
8. Termination
- You may stop using the App at any time and delete all Your Content with “Delete all my data”.
- We may cancel a licence, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms or if the law requires it.
- Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14 and 16 survive termination.
9. Disclaimers
- The App is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, express or implied, including about merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, compatibility with your device, or uninterrupted or error-free operation.
- We are not responsible for mistaken identification, wrong or outdated details or relationships, missed follow-ups, or any decision you make based on the App.
- Health goals and reminders are personal reminders, not medical advice, and are not a substitute for a doctor. Phones may delay or block notifications, so do not rely on Smarāmiii alone for anything critical such as medicine, court dates or deadlines.
- The money records are a personal reminder only. Interest and balances are simple-interest estimates and may differ from what was actually agreed. They are not accounting, tax or legal records or proof of any debt, and we are not a party to any loan between you and anyone else.
- We are not responsible for loss of Your Content for any reason, including device failure, operating-system or browser updates, storage clean-up, uninstallation, or loss of a backup file.
10. Limitation of liability
- To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for loss of reputation, goodwill, votes, office, opportunity, data or profit.
- Our total liability to you for all claims relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or ₹1,000 if you paid nothing.
- Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Indian law, or your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
11. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Owner and its directors, employees and agents from all claims, demands, losses, penalties, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) Your Content or any backup file; (b) your use or misuse of the App; (c) your breach of these Terms or of any law, including the DPDP Act; or (d) any claim by a person, or a relative, friend or colleague of a person, whose data you stored in the App.
12. Third-party services
You buy licences through third parties such as app stores or payment gateways. Their own terms apply to your purchase, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.
13. Changes to these Terms
You accept these Terms once, when you first open the App. We may update them from time to time. When we do, the App shows a notice with the new effective date and a link to read the changes. By continuing to use the App after that notice, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you may stop using the App and delete your data at any time.
14. Governing law and disputes
- These Terms are governed by the laws of India.
- Both parties will first try to settle any dispute in good faith within 30 days of written notice.
- If it is not settled, the dispute will be referred to final arbitration by a sole arbitrator appointed under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The seat and venue will be {{CITY}}, and the language will be English.
- Subject to the arbitration clause, the courts at {{CITY}} have exclusive jurisdiction. This does not affect your right to approach a consumer commission under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
15. Grievance Officer
In line with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules under it, you can report a complaint, or misuse of the App, to our Grievance Officer:
{{GNAME}}
Email: {{GEMAIL}}
Address: {{ADDRESS}}
We will acknowledge your complaint within 24 hours and resolve it within 15 days of receipt, or sooner where the law requires.
16. General
- Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the App.
- Severability. If any part is found invalid, the rest stays in force.
- No waiver. If we do not enforce a right immediately, we have not given it up.
- Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms or your licence. We may transfer them to a successor in a merger, acquisition or sale of the App.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- Notices. You may send notices to us at {{EMAIL}}.
Privacy Policy
Version {{VERSION}} · Effective {{EFFECTIVE}}
This Privacy Policy explains how {{OWNER}} (“we”, “us”) handles personal data in Smarāmiii. It is written to meet the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 (together, the “DPDP law”), and the Information Technology Act, 2000 and its rules.
1. Your register stays on your device
- Everything you enter, including people, photos, relationships, workplaces, schools, phone numbers, email addresses, important dates, gender, sexuality, caste, likes, dislikes, hobbies, interests, money records and notes, is stored only on your device, inside the App’s own storage.
- Reminders, health goals and their history, and notifications are created and kept on your device. If you choose “Add to phone calendar”, the reminder is copied to your calendar app, which may sync it to your Google or Apple account under their own privacy terms.
- Reminders and notifications are created on your device. When you send a wish, your own WhatsApp, SMS or email app sends it. We never see it.
- Backup files can be protected with a password using strong encryption (AES-256). We never know the password and cannot open or recover a protected backup.
- The App does not upload, sync or back up Your Content to us or to any server. We cannot see, read, recover or share it.
- For that data, you decide the purpose and you are responsible for it as its Data Fiduciary where the DPDP law applies. We do not process it.
2. What we do receive
- Purchase records: when you buy a licence, we or our payment provider receive the details needed to complete and record the sale, such as your name, email or phone number, the amount paid, and the licence code issued, which contains your name.
- What you send us: anything you choose to send in an email or support request.
- The licence check happens on your device. The App does not send your licence code, device details, location, contacts or usage to us.
3. Why we use it
- To sell and issue licences, prevent licence misuse, and keep tax and accounting records.
- To answer your requests and grievances.
- To comply with the law.
We do not sell your data, show advertising, build marketing profiles, or use any data to train artificial-intelligence models.
4. Legal basis
We process purchase data to perform the sale you ask for, on the basis of your consent, and for the legitimate uses the DPDP law allows, such as complying with tax law. You can withdraw consent by writing to {{GEMAIL}}. Records the law requires us to keep are retained as required.
5. Who we share it with
Only with the payment provider or app store that processes your purchase, with professional advisers bound by confidentiality, and with authorities when the law requires it. Nothing else.
6. Data on your device
- Use a screen lock. Anyone who can open your unlocked device can open the App.
- Uninstalling the App, clearing its storage or resetting your device permanently erases Your Content. We cannot restore it.
- “Backup & restore” lets you save your register as a file. That file is in your control. Keep it private and secure.
- “Delete all my data” erases your register from the device immediately.
7. How long we keep purchase data
For as long as needed to support your licence, and for as long as Indian tax and accounting law requires. After that we delete it.
8. Your rights
Under the DPDP law you have the right to a summary of your personal data held by us, to correction, completion, updating and erasure, to withdraw consent, to grievance redressal, and to nominate another person to exercise your rights. Email {{GEMAIL}}. We will respond within the time the law sets, and in any case within 90 days. Your register on your device is in your own hands and you can edit or delete it at any time.
9. If someone saved your details
Smarāmiii users keep their registers only on their own devices. We have no access to them. If you believe someone has stored information about you or your family, contact that person directly. You may also report misuse of the App to {{GEMAIL}}, and we will act under our Terms, including cancelling the licence.
10. Children
Smarāmiii is not for anyone under 18. Users must not record a child’s personal data beyond what is necessary, or without verifiable consent from a parent or lawful guardian.
11. Data breaches
If a breach affects the purchase data we hold, we will inform affected people and the Data Protection Board of India in the manner and within the time required by the DPDP law.
12. Changes to this policy
We will show a notice in the App with the new effective date whenever this policy changes. You will not need to accept it again to keep using the App.
13. Contact and complaints
Grievance Officer: {{GNAME}}
Email: {{GEMAIL}}
Address: {{ADDRESS}}
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
