Mandali — A Digital Mandal Book
Effective date: 23 July 2026 · Developer: Rathin Baraiya · Contact: rathin.app2308@gmail.com

1.Who we are

Mandali (“the app”, “we”) is a digital record book for community savings groups (Mandals). This policy explains what information the app collects, why, and what control you have over it. It applies to the Mandali Android app and this website.

2.Information we collect

We do not collect your bank details, card numbers, or payment credentials. Mandali records money movements; it does not move money.

3.How we use information

To operate your Mandals (compute contributions, interest, and loan schedules; sync records to members in real time), to send notifications you’d expect (payment windows, loan approvals, join requests) in your chosen language, to generate reports such as monthly PDFs, and to provide support. We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not sell it.

4.Who can see your information

No third parties receive your data for marketing.

5.Security

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS). Server-side access is restricted with row-level security so members can only reach the Mandals they belong to. The app’s local cache on your device is encrypted. No system is perfectly secure, but the app is built so that a lost phone or a stranger’s account does not expose your Mandal’s book.

6.Data retention

Your data is kept while your account is active and while your Mandals are running. When a Mandal is formally ended in the app, its records are permanently deleted immediately after the closing payout completes.

7.Deleting your account and data

You can delete your Mandali account from the web at any time, via our Account Deletion page (also linked in the footer). You don’t need to be signed in to the app.

Deletion permanently removes your account, profile, sign-in link, your Mandal membership records, the records you created (contributions, transactions, loans, interest, penalties and expenses), and your notification device tokens. If you are the sole Chairman of an active Mandal, you’ll need to transfer the Chairman role or end the Mandal first, so the group’s shared book stays correct for its other members.

Requests are processed and your data permanently deleted within 30 days.

8.Children

Mandali is a financial record-keeping app intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect data from children.

9.Your choices

You can edit your profile in the app, request name changes through your Mandal’s admin flow, switch languages any time, turn off notifications in system settings, and delete your account as described above. For anything else, email rathin.app2308@gmail.com.

10.Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we’ll update the effective date on this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
