# Privacy Policy

**Effective Date: August 8, 2026**

Smart Store Management System (“Smart RMS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, and protected when you use our mobile application for retail and point-of-sale (POS) management.

## 1. Information We Collect

### Business and Inventory Data

Smart RMS may process business information entered by authorized users, including:

* Products and inventory
* Sales and transaction records
* Suppliers
* Employee roles and shift information
* Digital receipts
* Refund records
* Store configuration and management information

Depending on the application configuration, this information may be stored locally on the device and/or on secure servers used to provide the application services.

### Camera Access

Smart RMS may request access to the device camera solely for scanning product barcodes.

The camera is used for barcode scanning and inventory or sales management. Smart RMS does not use the camera to take, store, or share personal photographs or videos for this purpose.

### Backup Files

The application may allow users to create digital backups of their store data.

Backup files may be stored in a local storage location selected by the user or, if the user enables such functionality, uploaded to a personal cloud storage service such as Google Drive.

Users are responsible for ensuring that any third-party cloud storage account they choose to use is properly secured.

## 2. How We Use Information

We use information processed through Smart RMS only as necessary to provide the application's functionality, including:

* Managing products and inventory
* Recording sales and refunds
* Managing employees, roles, and shifts
* Generating business reports
* Creating digital receipts
* Creating and restoring backups
* Authenticating users and protecting application security
* Maintaining and improving the reliability of the application

We do not sell or rent users' personal or business information.

## 3. Data Storage and Security

Smart RMS uses reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Where information is stored locally, the application uses the storage mechanisms provided by the operating system.

The application does not request broad Android storage access through the `MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission. It accesses only the storage locations necessary for its supported backup functionality.

No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

## 4. Third-Party Services

Smart RMS does not sell or rent user information to third parties.

The application may use third-party services when necessary to provide specific functionality, such as cloud storage or application infrastructure.

For example, if a user chooses to use Google Drive for backups, the backup data is transmitted to and stored through the user's Google account and is subject to Google's applicable terms and privacy policies.

Smart RMS does not currently use Google Analytics or advertising services to display personalized advertisements within the application.

If additional third-party services are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.

## 5. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information or business data.

Information may be processed by service providers only when necessary to provide, maintain, secure, or support Smart RMS, or when required by applicable law.

## 6. Children's Privacy

Smart RMS is designed for business and retail management purposes and is not directed toward children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

## 7. Data Retention and Deletion

Business and application data may be retained for as long as necessary to provide the service, maintain business records, provide backups, comply with legal obligations, or support legitimate business purposes.

Users or authorized store administrators may request deletion of applicable personal information, subject to legal and operational requirements.

## 8. User Rights

Depending on applicable law, users may have rights concerning their personal information, including the right to:

* Request access to their personal information
* Request correction of inaccurate information
* Request deletion of personal information where legally applicable
* Request information about how their information is processed
* Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable

Privacy-related requests may be submitted using the contact information below.

## 9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Smart RMS, our data practices, or applicable legal requirements.

When changes are made, we will update the Effective Date displayed at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
