Privacy Policy

How Simple Tools Innovation Labs Private Limited safeguards your privacy across our ecosystem, including Tangled, Doublew, Atendo, and Gester.

Section 01

1. Core Principles of Data Minimization

At Simple Tools Labs, our guiding rule is simple: the best privacy policy is not hoarding your data in the first place. We build useful, focused tools around genuine human needs rather than ad-funded engagement loops.

Zero Data Brokering

We never sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal data, telemetry, or contact records to third-party data brokers or advertisers.

Local-First Architecture

Where possible, your data lives on your device first. Cloud sync is designed with minimal server footprints and cryptographic security.

Symmetrical Friction

Leaving or deleting your data should be just as easy as signing up. No dark patterns, no maze of retention traps.

When you interact with our website or submit your details to the early beta list, we store your full name, email address, phone number, city, and selected product tags in a secure, encrypted Firebase Firestore vault in the Google Cloud India region. This information is exclusively utilized to notify you of beta rollouts, cohort unlocks, and major product releases.

2. Tangled (Couple Canvas & Private Space)

Tangled is built exclusively for two people. Unlike conventional social networks, there are no public feeds, algorithmic feeds, or social graph analytics.

  • Pairwise Isolation: Data within a pair is strictly scoped to the two authenticated partner accounts. Neither other users nor third parties can view, link, or access your shared space.
  • Canvas Notes & Drawings: Visual doodles, pinned photos, memories, and canvas elements are stored securely via encrypted cloud storage and Firestore with authentication security rules preventing outside reads.
  • Media Storage: Media files uploaded to your canvas are stored in private Firebase Cloud Storage buckets accessible only by token-authenticated session credentials belonging to your couple pair.
  • Unpairing & Mutual Deletion: If either partner disconnects the pair or deletes their account, shared canvas content is permanently scheduled for total erasure.
Product Disclosure · Doublew

3. Doublew (Time Buckets & Intentional Productivity)

Doublew organizes your day into intentional hourly time buckets rather than rigid minute-by-minute trackers.

  • Offline-First Task Storage: Your tasks, checklists, time buckets, and schedules are stored locally on your device database (e.g. SQLite / Room / IndexedDB). You can use Doublew entirely offline.
  • Behavioral Analytics (W Rate, A Rate): Completion metrics, postponement rates (Push/Move), and accountability scores are calculated client-side on your device for your own self-reflection. We do not aggregate individual productivity logs into corporate behavioral profiles.
  • Cloud Backup (Optional): If you choose cloud synchronization across Android and Web, your encrypted task payload is synchronized with our secure database solely to provide cross-device sync.
Product Disclosure · Atendo

4. Atendo (Workplace Presence & Attendance)

Atendo is an enterprise attendance verification suite providing clean accountability without invasive workplace surveillance.

  • No Continuous Background Tracking: Atendo does NOT continuously track employee GPS coordinates throughout the workday. Geolocation is requested only at the instantaneous moment of a check-in or check-out punch to confirm presence within the authorized work zone.
  • Biometric Data Security: Fingerprint and facial biometric checks are processed entirely through the local device operating system's Secure Enclave / Android BiometricPrompt API. Raw biometric data (fingerprints, facial geometry) is NEVER sent to or stored on our servers.
  • Cryptographic Verification Pipeline: Every check-in generates an ephemeral cryptographic challenge validated against authorized Gate Kiosks or AtendoTag hardware. Only the verified punch timestamp, work location ID, and device integrity confirmation are stored.
  • Employer Administrator Access: Attendance logs are accessible only to authorized administrators of your designated employing organization.
Product Disclosure · Gester

5. Gester (Co-Living & Shared Facility OS)

Gester connects smart IoT controllers (ESP32 GesterTag + Tapo relays) to coordinate shared washing machines and utilities in co-living spaces and PGs.

  • Facility Telemetry: We record machine slot reservations, power relay trigger timestamps, current appliance load (watts/amps), and emergency water-lockout statuses to ensure fair communal access.
  • Tenant Identification: Tenant booking data is restricted to your room/unit identifier and phone/email required for notification of cycle completion or slot conflicts.
  • Hardware Bridge Privacy: The ESP32 GesterTag controller communicates over encrypted MQTT/HTTPS. No audio, video, or external environmental sensors are present on Gester hardware controllers.
