Cholaraja R P ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the OffGrid app collects, uses, and safeguards your information when you use the application.
OffGrid is designed with privacy-first architecture. The app operates primarily offline and relies exclusively on on-device processing. We do NOT collect, transmit, or store your personal data on external servers.
APP PROVIDED "AS IS" — NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND: The OffGrid application, including all in-app features, tools, environmental sensors, maps, navigation, and offline capabilities, is provided strictly “AS IS” with no warranty, representation, or guarantee of any kind. You use the app and rely on its information entirely at your own risk. In a real emergency, reach professional emergency services if you possibly can.
AI-Generated Advice (Warden AI / On-Device AI): All survival advice, answers, and content generated by Warden AI (on-device local LLM) are machine-generated and run strictly offline. AI models can hallucinate, omit critical context, or produce inaccurate information. They are not reviewed or verified by medical, legal, or rescue professionals, they are not 100% accurate, and they come with no warranty of any kind. Never rely solely on AI-generated advice in dangerous, medical, or life-threatening situations.
Survival Articles: These articles are compiled from public survival references. They are not reviewed by medical, legal or rescue professionals, they are not 100% accurate, and they come with no warranty of any kind — you rely on them at your own risk.
In-App Features & Sensor Readings: Environmental sensors (compass, barometer, altimeter), GPS tracking, offline maps, weather approximations, automated storm alerts, mesh communications (Ghost Grid), and SOS signaling are supplementary aids only. They are not infallible and carry no guarantee of precision or uninterrupted availability.
All survival and emergency guides bundled in the App are compiled from public domain sources and public emergency references. The App, its guides, sensor data, and offline AI outputs are provided strictly “AS IS” without warranty of any kind.
OffGrid is free to download and every survival feature is included at no cost. The free version is supported by ads. A single one-time OFFGRID Pro purchase removes all ads permanently; it unlocks no extra features, because no survival content is ever placed behind a paywall.
Purchases are processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We never receive or store your card details, billing address, or any payment information.
Your Pro status is recorded as a single true/false flag in the app's own local storage on your device. There is no account, no login, and no server-side purchase record held by us — which is also why Pro keeps working when you are completely offline.
OffGrid uses local device notifications (via Android AlarmManager / exact alarms) for:
These notifications are generated entirely on your device. No push notification servers are used.
OffGrid requests the following Android permissions:
We do not integrate any analytics, crash reporting, or user tracking SDKs beyond the advertising SDK listed above.
All data (chat history, tracks, waypoints, preferences) is stored locally on your device. You can clear all app data at any time from Settings → Data & Storage → Clear App Data Usage.
OffGrid is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the updated Effective Date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
