Kisan Bhai
In short: we collect what the app needs to keep your farm records against your account - your sign-in details, your profile, and the cattle, milk and finance entries you type in. We do not sell your data. Ads inside the app are served by Google AdMob. You can ask us to delete your account and records at any time.
1. Who we are
Kisan Bhai (“Kisan Bhai”, “we”, “us”, “our”) publishes the Kisan Bhai Android application, distributed on Google Play under the package name com.bhai.kisan, and the website at kisanbhai.store (together, the “Service”).
This Privacy Policy applies to the app and this website. By installing or using the app, you agree to the handling of information described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

3. What we do not collect
- No precise location. The app does not request GPS or location permission and does not track where you are. Weather information is shown for a general area, not read from your device’s location.
- No contacts, photos, SMS or call logs. The app does not ask for or read any of these.
- No payment details. The app is free and we do not collect card, UPI or bank information. Amounts you type into your income and expense book are only your own notes to yourself.
- No sale of personal data. We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
4. How we use information
- To create and maintain your account and sign you in.
- To save, display and total the cattle, milk and finance records you enter.
- To show weather, crop information and other content inside the app.
- To run the score and leaderboard features, which show a ranking of users by activity score. Your display name and score may be visible to other users on the leaderboard.
- To send notifications, reminders and important notices about the Service.
- To display advertisements and measure their performance.
- To diagnose crashes, prevent abuse and keep the Service secure.
- To respond to your feedback and support requests.
- To comply with applicable law and to enforce our Terms & Conditions.
5. Legal basis and consent
We process your information on the basis of your consent, given when you create an account and continue to use the app, and because the processing is necessary to provide the Service you asked for. Where we rely on consent - for example for notifications or for personalised advertising where that requires consent in your region - you may withdraw it at any time through your device settings, the in-app consent prompt where shown, or by contacting us.
For users in India, we handle personal data in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Information Technology Act, 2000 and rules made under it.
6. Sharing and service providers
We do not sell your data. We share it only with the service providers that make the app work, and only to the extent needed:
| Provider | Purpose | Their policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Cloud Messaging) | Usage analytics, crash reporting and push notifications. | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| Google AdMob | Serving and measuring advertisements in the app. | policies.google.com/technologies/ads |
| Google Sign-In and Google Play services | Optional sign-in with a Google account, app distribution, update checks and in-app review prompts. | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Supabase | Database and authentication infrastructure used by parts of the Service. | supabase.com/privacy |
| Our hosting and backend provider | Running the kisanbhai.store servers that store your records. | Bound by contract to process data only on our instructions. |
We may also disclose information if we are required to do so by law, by a court or by a government authority, or where disclosure is necessary to investigate fraud or to protect the rights and safety of our users or of ourselves. If the Service is ever transferred to another owner, your information may transfer with it, and this policy will continue to apply until you are told otherwise.
7. Advertising
The app is free and is funded by advertisements served by Google AdMob, including banner, native and rewarded ads. Some ads give you an in-app score when you choose to watch them; watching is always your choice and nothing in the app is withheld if you do not.
Google may use your device’s advertising identifier to show ads that are more relevant to you and to limit how often you see the same ad. You can control this on your phone:
- Open Settings › Google › Ads on your Android device to delete or reset your advertising ID, or to opt out of ad personalisation.
- Where the law of your region requires a consent form before ads are shown, the app displays Google’s consent form and respects the choice you make there.
You can read how Google uses information from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
8. Storage, transfers and security
Your records are stored on servers operated for us and by the providers listed above. These providers may process or store data on servers located outside India; where that happens, we rely on their contractual commitments and standard safeguards to protect your information.
We protect data in transit with encrypted (HTTPS) connections, restrict access to our systems to the people who need it, and keep authentication tokens on your device in the Android secure storage provided by the operating system. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take these measures seriously and act promptly on any issue we find.
9. How long we keep data
- Account and farm records are kept while your account exists, so your history remains available to you.
- Deleted entries are removed from your account when you delete them in the app.
- After an account deletion request we delete or irreversibly anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where we must keep something longer to meet a legal obligation or to resolve a dispute.
- Analytics and crash data are retained according to the retention periods of Google Firebase, which are measured in months, not years.
- Server logs are kept for a short period for security and troubleshooting.
10. Your rights and choices
You may:
- Access and correct your profile and your records at any time inside the app, and edit or delete individual cattle, milk and finance entries.
- Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Request deletion of your account and personal data - see the next section.
- Withdraw consent for notifications by turning them off for the app in your Android settings, and for personalised ads through your device’s Ads settings.
- Complain to us first, so we have a chance to put things right, and to the competent data protection authority if you are still not satisfied.
To make any of these requests, write to support@kisanbhai.store from the email address on your account, or include the mobile number you signed in with so we can verify that the request is yours. We respond within 30 days.
11. Deleting your account
You can ask us to delete your Kisan Bhai account and the farm records stored with it. Use the account deletion page or email support@kisanbhai.store with the subject “Delete my account”.
We verify the request against the mobile number or Google account used to sign in, and then delete your profile, cattle, milk, income and expense records, score history and notification token. Deletion is permanent and the records cannot be restored afterwards, so export or note down anything you want to keep before you ask.
12. Children
The Service is intended for adult farmers and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from a child without the consent of a parent or lawful guardian. If you believe a child has given us personal data, write to us and we will delete it.
13. Third-party links and content
The app and this website link to places we do not control - Google Play, advertisers’ pages and informational websites. Their privacy practices are their own, and we are not responsible for them. Please read their policies before giving them your information.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app changes or when the law requires it. The “last updated” date at the top always shows the current version. If a change is significant, we will give notice inside the app or by notification. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated policy.
