Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 14, 2026
Welcome to 8171 Guide Unofficial. This app is an unofficial informational and convenience tool that helps users access official 8171 and BISP resources, guides, and related public information.
1. Information Collection and Use
- No account required: We do not ask you to create an account in the app.
- No direct server-side collection by us: We do not intentionally collect, store, or share CNIC numbers, names, phone numbers, bank details, or payment details on our own servers.
- Official-site processing: If you enter information into official BISP, 8171, or other external web pages opened through the app, that information is processed by those third-party services according to their own policies.
- Third-party SDK processing: Third-party services used for ads, analytics, notifications, and app operations may process device or usage data under their own policies.
2. Local App Data
The app stores limited data locally on your device for app functionality, such as language preference, disclaimer acceptance, launch counts, review prompt state, cached web content, notification scheduling metadata, and ad consent state.
3. Advertising (AdMob)
We use Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob may process data such as advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from IP, device and app details, diagnostic data, and ad interaction data.
Ad serving, measurement, fraud prevention, and frequency management may involve Google and its partners as described in Google's own documentation and policies.
More information is available at Google Partner Sites.
4. Analytics and Usage Data
We use Firebase Analytics to measure app usage and improve reliability. This may include app launches, screen views, button taps, feature interactions, general device or app identifiers, and diagnostic information.
5. Notifications
If you grant notification permission, the app may schedule local reminders and may receive push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). The app may also restore scheduled reminders after device restart.
6. External Links and Web Content
The app opens external destinations including official government websites, maps or search destinations, and some Google Play listings. We do not control third-party content, privacy practices, availability, or any information you submit to those services.
7. Permissions Used by the App
The app may use internet access, network state, notification permission, advertising ID, and boot-completed access to load content, support ads, send or restore scheduled notifications, and maintain app functionality.
8. Data Security
- HTTPS connections are used where supported.
- No sensitive user form data is intentionally stored on our servers.
No method of internet transmission or device storage is completely secure.
9. Children's Privacy
This app is for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children under 13.
10. Data Retention and Your Choices
Because we do not maintain user accounts or store your personal information on our own servers, there is generally no server-side user account for us to delete. You can clear local app data from your device settings at any time, and you can manage notifications from your device settings.
11. Unofficial Nature and Source Attribution
This app is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by BISP, the Government of Pakistan, or any government authority.
Official information comes from the linked BISP websites and official government channels.
