1. Who we are
PataHive is an Android app published under the studio name Dip Soft Studios by Sudip Bhattacharjya in India. For privacy questions, use the contact form.
PataHive does not require you to create an account with Dip Soft Studios to use the app.
2. Information the app handles
Information you choose to add may include saved links, titles and tags; notes and attachments such as images or audio; documents and imported files; watchlist or shopping entries; and app preferences. The app may also keep temporary files and cached thumbnails to provide its features.
This content is stored in app-private storage on your device. Dip Soft Studios does not operate a PataHive account server or receive a copy of this library through the app. PataHive uses Android system features such as the camera, microphone, photo/document picker, and share sheet when you choose the related action.
The current release does not include an advertising or analytics SDK. We do not intentionally collect precise location, contacts, or advertising identifiers in PataHive.
3. Network access and external services
PataHive uses an internet connection for features that retrieve link or shopping-page previews, media details, thumbnails, or related public information from the website you choose to save or refresh. That website may receive the request, including your device’s network address and the URL being requested, and may process it under its own privacy policy. The app can also open links in another app or browser at your request.
If you choose to support the studio, an external international support page opens outside PataHive. The provider handles its own site data and contribution details under its own policies. Dip Soft Studios does not receive your payment credentials from PataHive. An India-based contribution option is not currently active.
If you share an item, export a backup, or save a file using Android’s system picker, the chosen destination app or storage provider receives the information you direct it to receive. Review that provider’s privacy practices.
5. Retention and deletion
Your PataHive library remains on your device until you delete individual items, use the app’s wipe-data option, or uninstall the app. Wiping app data removes the app’s saved library and app-managed files from the device. Android or your device manufacturer may retain separate system backups according to settings you control. Exported copies remain wherever you saved or shared them.
The current app does not keep a PataHive account or library on a Dip Soft Studios server, so there is no server account to request deletion from. For help, use the contact form.
6. Children’s privacy
PataHive is a general-purpose organisation app and is not designed specifically for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through a studio-operated account service. A parent or guardian with a privacy concern can contact us using the form linked below.
7. Changes and contact
We may update this policy when app features or data practices change. The current version and effective date will be posted here. Material changes will be reflected here and, where appropriate, in the app’s release notes.
