Privacy Policy for Jewellery POS
Last Updated: April 10, 2026
Strict Privacy Commitment: Jewellery POS is a local-only utility. It does not transmit your files, your personal information, or any identifying metadata to our servers or any third parties.
1. Local Network Usage
Jewellery POS uses your local Wi-Fi network to discover other devices running the app (using mDNS/UDP protocols) and to establish a direct TCP connection for file transfer. This process is entirely local. No network traffic is sent over the internet unless you explicitly choose to use an external sync service (if available).
2. Data Permissions
To function as a file transfer tool, Jewellery POS requires the following high-risk permissions as defined by Google Play:
- All Files Access (`MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`): This is required and essential for the app's core functionality—to allow you to select and send any file from your device, and to save incoming files to your desired directory.
- Nearby Devices: To discover and connect to other instances of Jewellery POS on your local network.
- Wi-Fi State: To ensure devices are on the same network before attempting a transfer.
1. Data Collection & Processing
The Jewellery POS application embodies our Local-First engineering principle. By default, all primary user data generated or processed by Jewellery POS is stored locally on your device.
1.2 Cloud Services & Authentication (Firebase)
Jewellery POS utilizes Google Firebase for secure cloud synchronization and authentication (Firestore/FirebaseAuth). Application data is transmitted securely via HTTPS and stored in Google's enterprise cloud infrastructure. We do not sell this data to third parties.
2. Device Permissions
4. Security
Transfers are conducted via direct socket connections. We recommend using Jewellery POS only on trusted, secure Wi-Fi networks (such as your home or office network).
