1. Information Collection

Tallypad is an offline-first application. Most of the data you enter (ledger entries, customer names, contact info) is stored locally on your device. We collect information only when you interact with certain features:

• Account Information: If you sign up, we collect your name, email address, and profile photo via Google/Firebase Authentication.
• Business Data: Financial records and shop details you provide are synced to our secure cloud database (Firebase) to ensure you don't lose data when switching devices.
• Contacts: Our app allows you to pick customers from your phone's contact list. This data is only accessed with your explicit permission and is used solely to populate your ledger.

2. Use of Information

We use the collected data to:

• Provide, maintain, and sync your financial records across devices.
• Verify your identity and secure your account.
• Enable backup and recovery features.
• Communicate important updates regarding your account or premium subscription.

3. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including 256-bit encryption for cloud data and secure Firebase infrastructure. Your sensitive data is protected locally by your device's security and optionally by our built-in 4-digit App PIN.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services which may collect data according to their own privacy policies:

• Google Play Services: For app distribution and updates.
• Firebase: For cloud database (Firestore), authentication, and analytics.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time. You can clear your local data by uninstalling the app or request full account deletion by contacting us.
