**🔒 Permissions & Privacy Disclosures**
To provide accessibility features, the app requests consent-based permissions. All processing is local and secure.

1. **Accessibility Service (`BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE`):** Used strictly to power core assistive features for blind and visually impaired users. This includes **Nano Screen Reader** (our screen reader that reads screen content aloud for eyes-free navigation) and **Quick Assist** (allowing a trusted helper to perform remote gesture controls like taps and swipes to guide you during active sessions). Safe, optional, and no data is collected, saved, or sent.
2. **Notification Access:** Powers **UPI Payment Announcer** to read incoming transaction alerts. Local processing only.
3. **Usage & App List Access:** Powers **Instant TTS**. Detects the active app to auto-adjust voice speed/settings (e.g. read books slowly, chats quickly) and lists apps in settings so you can customize them.
4. **Location, Camera, Mic & Storage:** Location (GPS guidance & train status); Camera (OCR, bill scanner); Microphone (voice typing, recording); Storage (open, edit, save local files).

**🛡️ Privacy Commitment**
Features like remote support and file sharing connect directly between devices without cloud servers. We never collect, store, or sell your data.
