Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 15, 2026

Welcome to Shop Yanga. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Shop Yanga ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

Shop Yanga is designed as an offline-first application. Most of your business data remains stored locally on your device. However, the application requires access to certain device features to function properly.

• Camera Access: Used for barcode scanning and capturing images of inventory items.
• Biometric Authentication: Shop Yanga may use your device's biometric authentication (Fingerprint or Face ID) to provide secure local login. Biometric data is handled entirely by your device's operating system. We do not access, store, or transmit biometric information.
• Device Storage: Storage access is required to maintain the local database (SQLite/Drift) where inventory, sales, and reports are stored.
• Device Information: We may collect limited non-identifiable information such as device model and operating system version to ensure application stability.
• Bluetooth & Nearby Devices: Shop Yanga may request Bluetooth permissions to discover and connect to local receipt printers or barcode peripherals. We do not use Bluetooth to track your location or collect any personal information.
• Document Generation: When you generate sales receipts or business reports (PDF/CSV), these files are processed and stored locally on your device. You maintain full ownership and control over these documents.

2. How We Use Information

The information accessed by Shop Yanga is used to:

• Operate and maintain the Shop Yanga application.
• Provide inventory management, barcode scanning, and sales tracking features.
• Generate reports and business analytics.
• Support local notifications such as stock alerts or daily closing reminders.

3. AI Processing (Google ML Kit)

Shop Yanga integrates modern AI technologies to improve business productivity.

• Google ML Kit: Used for barcode scanning and text recognition. These processes run directly on your device and do not require transmitting your data to external servers.

4. Data Security

We implement appropriate security practices to protect your business data. All local data is stored within the private application directory provided by your device's operating system. We do not sell, rent, or trade your business data with third parties.

5. Third-Party Services

Shop Yanga may use trusted third-party technologies that help provide certain application features.

• Google ML Kit for barcode recognition and text scanning.

These services operate according to their respective privacy policies.

6. Google Play Services

Shop Yanga may rely on Google Play Services which may collect certain information used to identify your device or improve application performance.

7. Data Retention

Because Shop Yanga is designed as an offline-first application, your business data remains stored locally on your device. Data will be retained only for as long as the application remains installed.

You may permanently delete your data at any time by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling the application.

8. Children's Privacy

Shop Yanga is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Your Rights

Because your business information is stored locally on your device, you maintain full control over it. You may modify, export, or delete your data at any time.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes occur, the updated version will be posted on this page along with a revised "Last Updated" date.
