Privacy Policy & Data Safety

Google Play Store Data Safety Disclosures & DPDP Compliance Matrix

1. Architectural Privacy: Offline-First Local Data Isolation

GOV Inventory & Billing is designed with an offline-first, local-authoritative architecture. When you bill customers, adjust inventory, or record cash collections, your transactional records are committed directly to your device’s local offline database. Transactions do not require active internet connections and are never blocked or surveyed by third-party ad networks.

2. Data Transmission & Cloud Synchronization

When cloud synchronization is enabled:

  • All data in transit is protected using end-to-end Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3).
  • Payloads are validated against strict organization tenancy boundaries (multi-tenant data isolation).
  • Offline mutations utilize cryptographically generated UUIDv4 idempotency tokens to prevent duplicate write execution.

3. Device Hardware Permissions & Justification

The GOV Inventory & Billing client app requests only the minimum hardware permissions essential for physical retail operations:

Camera AccessUsed exclusively for barcode and QR code optical scanning at the POS checkout counter.
Bluetooth / USBUsed to transmit raw ESC/POS byte commands to thermal receipt and barcode label printers.
Local StorageUsed to read and write the local encrypted database file and generate PDF tax invoices.

4. Statutory Legal Retention (GST Rule 56 & Companies Act 2013)

In compliance with Section 128 of the Companies Act 2013 and Rule 56 of the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Rules, financial ledgers, tax invoices, and fiscal transaction vouchers must be preserved for a statutory duration of eight (8) financial years. Network and API access logs are maintained for 180 days pursuant to the CERT-In Directions 2022.

5. User Rights & Account Deletion

Under Google Play Store policies and the India DPDP Act, you have the absolute right to request the deletion of your account and personal identifiers. You may submit an irreversible purge request at our public deletion portal:
