Privacy Policy for Shop Manager

Effective Date: September 29, 2026

Developer: Shahbaz Studios

App: Shop Manager (Point of Sale & Inventory Management)

Shop Manager ("we", "our", or "us") is dedicated to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have complete control over your business data. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected when you use our Shop Manager mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

• Account Information: When you register an account, we collect your email address and encrypted password via Google Firebase Authentication to verify your merchant license and keep your store data secure.
• Business & Inventory Data: Product names, barcodes, purchase prices, selling prices, categories, stock counts, customer demands, and sales transactions. This data is stored locally in an offline SQLite database on your device and optionally backed up to your private Google Cloud Firestore container.
• Device Camera: The app requests Camera access solely to scan barcodes (UPC, EAN, Code 128) for inventory lookup and point-of-sale billing. We do not capture, record, or store personal video or photo feeds.
• Images: If you take a picture of a product or pick an image from your gallery to assign to a product, that image is stored locally in your device's private application storage.

2. How We Use Information

• To process in-store sales, track inventory balances, calculate profit margins, and generate analytics.
• To authenticate merchant login and maintain account activation status.
• To provide optional cloud backup and restore functionality so you do not lose your product catalog if your phone is lost, damaged, or upgraded.

3. Data Storage & Offline Privacy

Shop Manager is an offline-first application. All daily point-of-sale transactions and barcode operations work 100% offline without requiring internet access. Your financial numbers, cost prices, and sales profits remain strictly on your device.

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, trade, or distribute your personal or commercial store data to any advertisers, data brokers, or third parties. We use Google Firebase (a Google Cloud service) solely for secure authentication and optional encrypted cloud backup.

5. Data Security & Deletion

Your connection to cloud services is encrypted using industry-standard HTTPS / TLS. You can export a full offline JSON backup of your data at any time. If you wish to delete your account and all associated cloud data, you can contact us at any time, and we will purge your records within 48 hours.
