Document search on your device

Milgaya makes documents on your phone searchable by their contents. Document reading, OCR and search run on your device. HTuse operates no Milgaya document server, and the app does not require an account. Milgaya does not upload your source documents, extracted text, file names, notes, collections, tags, reminder schedules, reading positions or search queries. Google libraries used by the app process some technical and purchase information as described below.

Information stored locally

Milgaya stores extracted text, file metadata and content hashes, thumbnails, search vectors, folder permissions, settings, bookmarks, notes, collections, tags, document-to-label assignments, recently opened timestamps, saved reading positions, document reminder dates and delivery status, and up to eight recent searches in its private app storage. This storage is excluded from Android cloud backup and device-to-device transfer.

You can turn off remembered searches or clear search history in Settings. You can remove bookmarks, edit or delete notes, and rename or delete collections and tags. Deleting a collection or tag removes its grouping, not the original documents. Removing a folder in Folders removes that folder's indexed document records. Source files are never modified or deleted by indexing.

From version 2.3, Milgaya can remember the last viewed page and schedule reminders you create for individual documents. Reading positions and reminder schedules stay in private on-device storage and are excluded from Android backup. Reminders use Android's local background scheduling; no reminder server or document upload is involved. You can edit or remove a reminder in the app. A reminder notification can show the file name; Milgaya marks it as private, and Android's notification and lock-screen settings control what is visible. Tapping it opens the document in Milgaya. Battery restrictions can delay delivery.

From version 2.2, original PDF and image previews are rendered on your device. Opening a preview may create a temporary copy in the app's private cache. Milgaya removes this copy when the preview closes; older copies left after an interrupted session are cleaned up when a later preview starts. Preview files are excluded from Android backup. The preview does not upload your file or change the original.

Copy and Export text are actions you choose. They place text in the Android clipboard or a location you select. Choosing to open or share source files passes their URIs and temporary read permission to the app you select. From version 2.3, you can share multiple selected documents at once. The receiving app may copy, send or upload those files according to the action you choose and its own policies. Other apps and storage providers handle exported copies or files under their own policies. Exported files remain after Milgaya is uninstalled.

Google ML Kit text recognition

The bundled Latin and Devanagari text-recognition models process images and text on the device. Recognition input and results are not sent to Google by ML Kit, and recognition can work offline.

ML Kit sends Google technical data for diagnostics and usage analytics. According to Google's disclosure, this includes device manufacturer/model and OS information; app package and version; per-installation identifiers; performance measurements; API configuration such as image format and resolution; feature input/output sizes; model or feature versions; feature events and error codes. These installation identifiers are not intended to uniquely identify a person or physical device. Technical metadata is distinct from document contents, but it is still data sent off the device.

Google encrypts this transmission using HTTPS. Google uses these metrics to measure, debug, maintain and improve its APIs and detect misuse, under the ML Kit terms and Google's Privacy Policy. Milgaya does not provide an in-app opt-out for this SDK telemetry. HTuse does not receive a copy of this telemetry or set its retention period.

Advertising and your choices — version 2.1 onward

Milgaya 2.1 and later include Google AdMob native ads in the library and search results, and occasional full-screen interstitial ads after document viewing. Versions before 2.1 do not include AdMob. Every document feature is available without a purchase. Premium removes both ad formats through a one-time lifetime purchase or a yearly subscription. Ads are not required to finish indexing, search, read text or use notes.

Google Mobile Ads SDK collects and shares IP addresses (which may be used to estimate general location), app/product interactions such as launches, taps and video views, diagnostics such as performance and error information, and device/account identifiers including the Android advertising ID and app set ID. Google uses this information for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. The SDK encrypts data in transit using TLS. Milgaya does not attach your documents, file names, extracted text, notes or search queries to ad requests.

Google’s User Messaging Platform requests consent where required and stores privacy choices. Ads are requested only when the SDK indicates they can be requested. Where required, Settings → Privacy → Ad privacy choices lets you reopen the privacy form. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID through Android’s privacy settings. Ads may be personalized, non-personalized or limited depending on your choices, region and Google’s serving rules. If consent cannot be resolved or an ad cannot load, document features remain available.

Ad requests stop when Premium ownership is recognized; locally cached ownership is preserved when Google Play cannot be reached. Google controls retention of its advertising and consent records under its policies. Removing local Milgaya data does not erase records held by Google. HTuse receives advertising performance and revenue reports from AdMob, not your document contents.

Google Play Billing and Premium

Google Play handles optional Premium purchases and subscriptions. The app contacts Play to obtain current products and prices, check existing ownership and restore purchases. It uses product identifiers, purchase tokens, purchase state and acknowledgement information to enable your ad-free plan. Every document feature is free from version 2.1 onward; existing Premium purchases also remove ads. Ownership checks can occur without making a new purchase.

HTuse can see transaction records provided in Play Console, such as the order, product, country, date, amount and status, for purchase support, accounting and fraud prevention. Milgaya has no separate purchase server and does not receive your payment-card details or Google account credentials. Google retains purchase information under its policies and applicable financial obligations. Manage subscriptions and purchase history through Google Play; uninstalling Milgaya does not cancel a subscription.

Android diagnostics and support

Android or Google Play may provide crash and performance reports according to your device and Google settings. This is separate from the ML Kit telemetry above. If you email support, HTuse receives your email address and the information you choose to include, uses it to respond, and retains it as needed for the request and legal obligations. Do not send private documents unless necessary for a support request.

Using this website

The Milgaya website is hosted by Hostinger. Delivering and protecting the website can involve server and security logs containing your IP address, requested page, access time, browser information and response status. These records are handled by the hosting provider for website delivery, reliability and security under its policies. The website code does not add advertising or analytics trackers. Links to Google Play, Google privacy controls and other external sites are handled under those sites' policies.

Contact support@htuse.com about website or support data held by HTuse. Hosting and security records may be retained as needed for operational and legal purposes; uninstalling the Android app does not delete website logs.

Permissions

Folders: Android's folder picker grants read access to folders you choose. You can add or remove folders in the app.
Photos: optional image access lets the app index text in supported received images. On Android 14 and later, limited photo access is detected and the app offers a folder-based alternative. Older Android versions use the storage permission available on that version.
Notifications: optional indexing progress notifications and, from version 2.3, document reminders you set. You can manage notification permission in Android settings.
Foreground service, data sync: keeps a visible document-indexing pass running. A pass can start after folder setup, from Index now, or when the app opens if Index on launch is enabled. Stop an active pass in Folders. Background maintenance checks for new files periodically; work can also be restricted to charging in Settings.
Run after restart: from version 2.3, Android WorkManager restores scheduled background work, including local reminders, after the device restarts. Milgaya does not request exact-alarm permission.
Internet/network state: Google SDK communication described above. Document search itself does not require an internet connection.
Billing: optional Premium purchases and ownership checks through Google Play.

Milgaya does not request All files access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE). From version 2.1, the Google Mobile Ads SDK includes advertising-related permissions such as Advertising ID. Milgaya does not request device location permission; Google may infer approximate location from your IP address.

Deletion and your choices

Remove a folder in Folders to stop indexing it and remove its indexed records. Rebuild the index in Settings to regenerate extracted content from the currently permitted sources. Rebuilding is not a permanent deletion of data from sources that remain enabled.

Uninstall Milgaya or use Android Settings → Apps → Milgaya → Storage → Clear storage to delete private local app data. Original documents and exported files remain. There is no Milgaya account to delete. Local deletion does not remove Google's diagnostic, advertising, consent or purchase records, and it does not cancel subscriptions. Google controls retention and relevant account/privacy choices for those records. Contact support@htuse.com about support correspondence or transaction information held by HTuse; financial records may need to be retained to meet legal obligations.

Children

Milgaya is not directed to children under 13. HTuse does not knowingly request personal information from children. The Google SDK practices described above apply whenever the app is used.

Changes and contact
