1. Who we are
Jurisbooks is a product of Ekatva Ventures, a partnership firm based in New Delhi, India (“Jurisbooks”, “we”, “us”). We provide GST billing and accounting software for Indian businesses: Jurisbooks cloud edition (in a web browser, on a computer and in the Jurisbooks app for Android) and Jurisbooks Offline. This notice applies to this website, to both editions and to our customer support. It should be read together with our Terms of Service.
2. Information we collect
When you contact us
If you send an enquiry, call, email or message us on WhatsApp, we receive the details you give — typically your name, phone number, email address, business name and message — together with the page from which an enquiry was sent.
When you download Jurisbooks cloud edition
Downloading needs no sign-in, and we collect nothing about you when you download. (Until 2 October 2026 we asked for a Google sign-in before a download; the name and email address received then are kept and protected as described in this notice.)
When you use Jurisbooks cloud edition
- Account details: the mobile number or Google email address you sign in with, and the names, mobile numbers or email addresses of colleagues you invite.
- Sign-in and security information: one-time codes (checked and then discarded), the computers signed in to your account and when they were last active, and records needed to enforce your plan’s limits. Your PIN is stored only on your own computer, in scrambled form, and is never sent to us.
- Subscription details: your plan, its period, payments you make and receipts we issue. Card and bank details are handled by the payment partner and are not stored by us.
- Service communications: the reminders, notices and messages we send you, and your replies.
When you use the Jurisbooks app for Android
The Android app is the Jurisbooks cloud edition on your phone, so the account details above apply to it as well. The app asks for no permission other than internet access. When you read a bill or add a picture, you choose the photo yourself; bills are read on the phone itself, and only the entries you save, and the pictures you attach, are sent to your books in the cloud. The app identifies the phone it is signed in on, so that your plan’s limit of one phone per person can be applied. It contains no advertising and no tracking or analytics tools.
When you use Jurisbooks Offline
Jurisbooks Offline keeps your books on your own computer and does not send them to us. When we issue a licence key we record the business name, the computer identifier you provide, the edition, the period and the related payment.
Licence and usage information (both editions)
When a computer or phone running Jurisbooks is connected to the internet, the program may send us technical and licence information: the licence key or account it is running under, the business name the licence was issued to, an identifier of the device, the edition and version of the program, the date and time, and the internet address from which it connected (which indicates an approximate location). We use it only to confirm that Jurisbooks is being used within its licence, to prevent misuse, and to provide support and updates. Your books, bills, parties, items and backups are not sent to us for this purpose.
When you visit a website made with Jurisbooks
Businesses on some plans can publish a public page of their own (an address ending in “.jurisbooks.in”). That page uses no cookies and needs no sign-in. If you send an order or a message through it, we receive the name, mobile number, address and message you type, and pass them to that business so that it can reply; the business, not Jurisbooks, decides how it then uses them, and you should contact it about them. To limit misuse we count visits and keep, for a day, a scrambled form of the internet address an order or message came from. We do not use these details for our own marketing.
3. Your business records
The records you keep in Jurisbooks — your parties, items, invoices, vouchers and settings, which may include information about your own customers and suppliers — belong to you. In the Jurisbooks cloud edition we store them safely in the cloud solely to provide the service to you and to the people you authorise; each company’s books can be opened only by the people added to it. We do not access their contents except where you ask us to help, where needed to keep the service secure, or where the law requires. In Jurisbooks Offline they remain on your computer.
You are responsible for having a lawful basis to record the personal details of your customers, suppliers and staff in your books.
4. How we use information
- to provide, secure and support Jurisbooks, including sign-in, synchronisation between your computers and backups;
- to answer enquiries, arrange demonstrations, activate plans and issue licence keys;
- to send service messages such as sign-in codes, renewal reminders, receipts and important notices;
- to keep the records we need for accounting, tax and legal purposes; and
- to improve Jurisbooks, using aggregated information that does not identify you.
We do not sell personal information, use your account details or business records for advertising, or use your business records to train artificial-intelligence models. Section 11 explains the optional advertising cookies on this website.
5. Consent and your choices
We process your information with your consent, which you give by using our website or the software and by contacting us, and where it is needed to provide the service you have requested. You may withdraw consent at any time by writing to us; this may mean we can no longer provide some parts of the service. You may opt out of promotional messages at any time; service messages that are necessary to run your account will continue while it is active.
6. Who we share it with
We share information only with service providers that help us operate Jurisbooks, each bound to use it solely for that purpose:
- cloud hosting, content-delivery and sign-in providers, which store and deliver the Jurisbooks cloud edition service, its data and the public pages made with it;
- SMS and email delivery providers, which send sign-in codes, receipts and service messages;
- our enquiry-form provider and payment partner; and
- WhatsApp and Google, where you choose to use them; and
- Google and Meta, for the advertising cookies described in section 11, only if you allow them.
We may disclose information where required by law or by a lawful order, or to protect the rights and safety of our customers and ourselves. If our business is transferred, information may pass to the successor under the same protections.
7. How we protect it
We apply reasonable security practices appropriate to the information we hold, including encrypted connections, access limited to authorised people, protected storage of sign-in credentials, and separation of each customer’s books. No system can be perfectly secure; please keep your devices, sign-in methods and PIN safe, and tell us promptly if you suspect misuse.
8. How long we keep it
We keep information for as long as your account or our business relationship continues, and afterwards for as long as needed to meet legal, tax and accounting obligations or to resolve disputes. Enquiries that do not lead to a business relationship are deleted when no longer needed. Retention of your business records after a plan ends is described in clause 10 of our Terms of Service.
9. Google Drive (optional)
Jurisbooks can keep a copy of your books in your own Google Drive, but only if you switch this on by choosing “Connect Google Drive” in the program’s Settings. If you never connect it, nothing in this section applies.
- What Jurisbooks can access. Only the files Jurisbooks itself creates in your Drive (a “Jurisbooks” folder holding one file per company). It cannot see, open or change any other file in your Drive. It also reads the email address of the connected Google account, so that the program can show which account is connected.
- What it does with that access. It saves your books to those files after you make changes, and reads them back so that your books can appear on another computer connected to the same Google account. Nothing else.
- Where the data goes. The Drive copy travels directly between the program on your computer and your own Google account. It does not pass through our servers, and we never receive your Google sign-in or your Drive files. The permission is stored on your computer in encrypted form.
- No sharing or advertising. We do not sell, share or transfer this data, and do not use it for advertising or to train any AI model. Google holds the files under your own Google account terms.
- Turning it off. Choose “Disconnect” in the program’s Settings, or remove Jurisbooks at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Files already in your Drive remain until you delete them.
Jurisbooks’ use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
10. Sign in with Google
If you choose “Continue with Google” in the Jurisbooks cloud edition, Google shares only your confirmed email address. We use the email address as your Jurisbooks account name, just as a mobile number is used for SMS sign-in. We never see your Google password and obtain no access to your Gmail, Drive or other Google data through sign-in. This also follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
11. Cookies and this website
Your browser keeps a few small items so that the site works: a record that you accepted our terms, your choice about advertising cookies, and a short timer that prevents an enquiry being sent twice. They remain on your device. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address when a page loads.
Advertising cookies (optional)
Our public website pages may ask whether we may use advertising cookies from Google and Meta. They load only if you choose Allow. They help us see which of our advertisements lead people to visit, open the app, download, call, message us or send an enquiry, and they let Google and Meta receive the page you visited, your internet address and details of your browser or device under their own privacy policies. We do not send them what you type in an enquiry form, and these cookies are not used on our checkout, My Account or sales pages, or inside Jurisbooks.
If you choose No thanks, nothing is loaded from Google or Meta for this purpose. To change your choice, clear this site’s data in your browser and you will be asked again.
12. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may ask us to:
- confirm what personal information we hold about you and provide a summary of it;
- correct, complete or update it;
- erase it, where we are no longer required to keep it; and
- nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf in the event of death or incapacity.
To make a request, write to us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on it. How to delete your account, or only some of your data, and what is kept afterwards, is explained on our Delete your account page.
13. Children
Jurisbooks is intended for businesses and is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
14. Changes to this notice
We may update this notice from time to time. The current version is always published here with its effective date, and we will tell you about significant changes by email, in the program or on this website.
15. Grievances and contact
For any question, request or complaint about your personal information, please contact our Grievance Officer at support@jurisbooks.com or +91 92204 99490. We will acknowledge your message within 48 hours and aim to resolve it within 15 days.
