Privacy First Approach
POSIP Offline is designed with your privacy as our top priority. This app operates completely offline and does NOT store any of your business data on our servers or in the cloud.
All data stays on your device
No cloud storage or synchronization
No ads or tracking
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
Because this is an offline application, we do NOT collect, transmit, or store:
- Business data (products, sales, inventory, customers)
- Payment information
- Usage analytics or statistics
- Contacts or personal files
All of your business data is stored exclusively on your device. We have no access to it, cannot view it, and do not transmit it anywhere.
2. Local Data Storage
The app stores the following data locally on your device only:
2.1 Business Data
- Product information and inventory
- Sales transactions and receipts
- Customer information (if you choose to add it)
- Reports and analytics generated from your sales
- App settings and preferences
2.2 Data Security
All data stored on your device is protected by:
- Device Security: Your device's built-in security features (lock screen, encryption)
- App Permissions: Limited permissions required for basic functionality
- No External Access: Data is not accessible by any external services or third parties
Important: Because all data is stored locally, it is your responsibility to backup your data. If you uninstall the app or lose your device, your data may be permanently lost unless you have created a backup.
3. App Permissions
The app requires the following permissions to function:
Storage Permission
Why: To save and retrieve your business data locally on your device
What we do: Store sales, products, and reports in the app's private storage area
Camera Permission (Optional)
Why: To scan barcodes for product management
What we do: Only used when you actively scan a barcode; no photos are saved or transmitted
Bluetooth Permission (Optional)
Why: To connect to Bluetooth receipt printers
What we do: Only used to send receipt data directly to your printer
Export Permission
Why: To export reports and backups to your device storage

5. Data Backup and Export
5.1 Manual Backups

8. Your Rights and Control
You have complete control over your data:
8.1 Data Ownership
- You own all business data created in the app
- You can export, backup, or delete your data at any time
