Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 25, 2026 | Last Updated: April 25, 2026

BillRam ("the App") is developed and maintained by Altibix Codelab Pvt. Ltd. ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App accesses, how it is used, and the choices you have.

        Key Principle: BillRam is an offline-first application. All your business data (products, invoices, customer records, shop profile) is stored locally on your device using an embedded database. We do not collect, transmit, or store your business data on any remote server.
    

1. Information We Do Not Collect

BillRam does not collect, store, or share any of the following:

Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
Location or GPS data
Contacts or call logs
Usage analytics or behavioral tracking data
Advertising identifiers
Financial or payment information

2. Device Permissions & Why They Are Needed

The App requests certain device permissions solely to enable its core features. Each permission, its purpose, and the corresponding feature are listed below:

Permission	Feature	Why It Is Needed
Camera	Barcode & QR Code Scanner	Used to scan product barcodes and QR codes for quick billing, inventory lookup, and bulk product scanning. The camera feed is processed on-device only and is never recorded or transmitted.
Internet	App Updates & Fonts	Used to check for new app versions on Google Play Store and to download display fonts (Google Fonts) on first use. No business data is transmitted over the network.
Bluetooth	Thermal Receipt Printer	Used to discover and connect to Bluetooth thermal printers so you can print invoices and receipts directly from the App.
Storage / Files	Backup, PDF & Excel Export	Used to save generated PDF invoices, Excel/CSV inventory reports, and database backups to your device's storage. On Android 11+, the App uses scoped storage or the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to write files to the Downloads folder.
Notifications	Low-Stock Alerts & Reminders	Used to send you local on-device notifications such as low-stock product alerts and scheduled reminders. Notifications are generated entirely on-device; no push notification service is used.
Vibrate	Notification Alerts	Used to provide haptic feedback when a local notification is delivered.
Boot Completed	Background Stock Checks	Used to restart periodic background tasks (via WorkManager) after device reboot so that scheduled low-stock checks and reminders continue to work without requiring you to reopen the App.
Photo / Image Picker	Shop Logo & Product Images	Used to let you pick an image from your gallery to set as your shop logo or product image. Selected images are compressed and stored locally within the App's private storage.

3. Data Storage

All data created within BillRam, including:

Product inventory and pricing
Sales invoices and billing records
Shop profile information and logo
Customer details (if entered)
App settings and preferences

is stored locally on your device using the Isar embedded database and shared preferences. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to export it (e.g., generating a PDF or Excel file and sharing it yourself).

4. Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any of your data with third parties. Since the App does not collect data remotely, there is no data to share.

When you export an invoice as a PDF or an inventory report as an Excel/CSV file, the file is saved to your device. Any subsequent sharing of that file (e.g., via WhatsApp, email) is initiated and controlled entirely by you through your device's share functionality.

5. Third-Party Services

BillRam uses the following third-party services with minimal data exchange:

Google Fonts: The App downloads font files from Google's servers to render text. Google may log standard web request information (IP address, request timestamp). See Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.
Google Play Store: The App checks the Play Store for available updates. This is a standard API call that does not transmit any of your business data.

The App does not integrate any advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, crash reporting services, or social media trackers.

6. Children's Privacy

BillRam is a business tool designed for shopkeepers and business owners. It is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the App, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

7. Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device, the security of your data depends on your device's security measures (screen lock, encryption, etc.). We recommend:

Keeping your device secured with a PIN, password, or biometric lock
Regularly backing up your data using the in-app backup feature
Keeping your device's operating system up to date

8. Your Rights & Data Control

Since all data is stored on your device, you have full control:

Access: All your data is visible within the App at all times.
Export: You can export invoices (PDF) and inventory data (Excel/CSV) at any time.
Delete: You can delete individual records within the App, or uninstall the App to remove all data permanently.
Backup & Restore: You can create and restore local backups through the App's settings.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
