Privacy Policy

Techman — a mobile app for finding and hiring skilled workers
Effective date: 25 July 2026 • Last updated: 25 July 2026

1. Introduction

Techman ("Techman", "we", "us", or "our") connects people who need work done ("clients") with skilled workers offering their services ("workers" or "professionals"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through the Techman mobile application (the "App"), how we use and share it, and the choices you have.

By creating an account or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information you provide

Category	Examples
Account & phone verification	Mobile phone number, and the one-time password (OTP) verification flow used to confirm it (processed via Firebase Phone Authentication).
Profile information	First and last name, email address, gender, profile photo, secondary phone number and preferred contact method, agency/business name.
Location details you enter	Country, state, city, area/locality, and pincode you select or type in (from built-in location lists) — used to show where you or a worker is based and to match search results. We do not collect GPS/precise device location.
Worker profile details	Skills and services offered, work categories/areas, service cities, years of experience, past companies and roles, working hours, and an optional uploaded rate card image.
Photos & documents	Profile pictures and rate card images you choose to upload from your device gallery or camera.
Language preference	Your selected app language (e.g. English, Gujarati, Hindi).
Payment-related information	When you purchase a premium subscription, payment is handled by Razorpay. We receive and store the payment ID, order ID, and amount to confirm and activate your subscription — we do not collect or store your card, UPI, or bank account details.

2.2 Information collected automatically

Profile view analytics — when other users view a worker's profile, we record aggregate view counts and unique viewer counts, shown to premium workers as profile insights.
Usage & device data — basic technical information needed to operate the App and communicate with our servers (such as request logs), and identifiers generated by Firebase Authentication to keep you signed in.

We do not use third-party advertising SDKs or analytics/tracking SDKs beyond what is described above.

3. How we use your information

To create and manage your account, and verify your phone number via OTP.
To create, display, and let you edit your public worker or client profile.
To power search and matching — showing clients relevant workers based on skills, service area, and location.
To process premium subscription purchases and unlock premium features (e.g. profile view insights, full profile access).
To communicate with you about your account, OTP codes, and app updates.
To display the App in your preferred language.
To maintain the security, integrity, and proper functioning of the App, and to prevent fraud or abuse.

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the following circumstances:

With other users — profile information you choose to make public (name, photo, skills, experience, location, contact details you designate as visible) is shown to other users so clients and workers can connect. Your phone number is shown only on your own profile view, and is hidden when other users view it, unless you make it visible as part of your listed contact information.
Service providers — we use trusted third parties to operate the App:
- Firebase (Google) — authentication (phone/OTP sign-in) and core app infrastructure.
- Razorpay — payment processing for premium subscriptions.
These providers process data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy and security obligations.
Legal requirements — if required to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or a valid governmental request.
Business transfers — if Techman is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

5. Device permissions

The App may request the following permissions from your device. You can grant or deny most permissions from your device settings; some features may not work without them.

Permission	Purpose
Internet access	Required to sign in, load profiles, search, and process payments.
Photo library / camera	To let you select or capture a profile photo or rate card image to upload.

We do not access your precise device (GPS) location — location fields in the App (country/state/city) are entered or selected by you.

6. Payments & subscriptions

Premium subscription payments are processed through Razorpay, a third-party payment gateway. When you make a payment, you are also subject to Razorpay's own privacy policy and terms. We store only the transaction reference (payment ID, order ID) and amount needed to confirm your purchase and activate premium features on your account — we never receive or store your full card number, CVV, or banking credentials.

7. Data retention

We retain your account and profile information for as long as your account remains active, or as needed to provide the App's services. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we are required to retain certain data (for example, transaction records) to comply with legal, tax, or accounting obligations.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including secure authentication via Firebase and encrypted network communication. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your choices & rights

Access & update — you can review and update most profile information directly within the App's Settings/Profile screens.
Account deletion — you may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us at the email below.
Language — you can change your language preference at any time from the App.
Marketing communications — if we ever send optional promotional messages, you may opt out through the settings provided or by contacting us.

Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under applicable data protection laws (such as access, correction, deletion, or portability of your data). To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

10. Children's privacy

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will update the "Last updated" date above, and where changes are significant, we will provide additional notice within the App.
