This is a private application used by one household to keep track of shares it owns. It is not a public service and it is not sold to anyone.

What it holds

Share transactions and the holdings they produce, across the income-tax files of the people using it: what was bought and sold, when, at what price, and the capital gains that follow. Where a return has to be filed, it also holds the PAN of the person filing it.

For each person signing in it holds a name and an email address. Where Google is used to sign in, it also holds the Google account's permanent identifier, so that later sign-ins can be matched to the same person even if the email address changes.

Where it comes from

Everything is entered by the household or imported from documents the household downloads from its own brokers — contract notes, holdings statements and profit-and-loss reports. Nothing is collected from anywhere else, and nothing is bought in.

Share prices are fetched from public market data. That request names a company, never a person.

Who can see it

Only people invited into a family group, and only that group's own data. There is no sign-up page: an account exists because somebody in the family created it. Signing in with Google finds an existing account or fails.

It is not shared, sold, or passed to anyone else. There is no advertising, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind.

Where it lives

On a single hosting account, in one database, reached only over an encrypted connection. Backups are kept so that thirty-eight years of purchase history is not lost to one failed disk.

What Google is told

When Google is used to sign in, this application asks Google only for the email address, basic profile and account identifier — nothing else, and nothing that would let it read mail, files or contacts. It sends Google nothing about the holdings.

Removing it

Anyone in the family group can ask for their account and their data to be deleted, and it will be. Contact me@akhilsonthalia.com.
