Privacy Policy

Overview and operator

Local Business is an Android workspace for appointments, clients, services, inventory, suppliers, notes and optional business tools. The app is published by Roman Liskin under VeRomTec. This policy explains how the app handles personal information, advertising, local storage and subscription verification.

Business records are kept locally on your device. The publisher does not operate a business-record synchronization or storage service. Advertising, Google Play purchases and subscription verification require network access.

Information stored on your device

The app may store client contact details, appointment history, business notes, stock records, financial documents, forms, consents, photos, audio, optional fitness and workout records for business tools you enable, and other records you choose to enter. Core records use an app-private encrypted SQLCipher database. Sensitive attachments use an encrypted file vault. Keys are protected by Android secure storage, separately from the optional app passcode.

Android cloud backup and automatic device-transfer extraction of app-private data are disabled. Temporary readable copies may be needed for viewing, exporting or sharing and are cleaned up after use and on later starts. No device security measure can protect an already unlocked session or a compromised device.

Free trial and subscription

The app-access subscription offers eligible Google Play users a 7-day free trial, followed by US$5.00 per month in the United States. The subscription provides continued app access after the trial. Eligibility, local currency, taxes, billing dates and final terms are displayed by Google Play before purchase.

Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the subscription automatically renews as a paid monthly subscription. You can cancel in Google Play subscriptions. Cancellation generally keeps access until the end of the trial or paid period; Google Play determines the actual entitlement status. Uninstalling the app or deleting local files does not cancel a subscription. The publisher does not receive your complete card number or security code.

Subscription changes and refunds are handled under Google Play policies and applicable law. A subscription starts only when you confirm the offer in Google Play.

Subscription verification and backend

The app may send a Google Play purchase token, package/product identifiers, a pseudonymous installation identifier and a one-time request nonce to the dedicated VeRomTec verification service. The service queries the Google Play Developer API and returns a signed, time-limited entitlement. It does not require business records, client names, notes, media files, or card details.

The verifier does not maintain a purchase-token database or log request bodies. It uses short-lived, rotating hashed network-address counters for abuse prevention. Hosting and Google may separately process IP addresses, operational logs and purchase metadata under their policies. Signed device-side access leases expire and may require renewed connectivity. Temporary application rate-limit metadata is retained for approximately 15 minutes while scheduled cleanup is operating. Hosting access logs may separately retain connection metadata for operational purposes.

Complimentary reviewer access uses a separate access code. If you use this feature, the app sends the code, a pseudonymous installation identifier and a one-time nonce to the same verification service. The server stores only the code digest and returns a signed, temporary grant. The app keeps the code and grant in secure storage to refresh access. This does not create a Google Play purchase or send business records to the publisher.

Advertising and privacy choices

The app includes Google AdMob advertising: a top adaptive banner on the onboarding guide and one Native Advanced card in Settings. Google advertising services may process device identifiers, IP address, app interactions, advertising events and diagnostics. We do not put business-record contents into ad requests.

Google User Messaging Platform checks consent before advertising requests and presents configured messages when required. When required, Settings provides Ad privacy choices. Ads may be personalized or limited according to applicable requirements, your choices and Google availability. The full-app subscription does not itself promise that advertising is removed unless the offer explicitly says so.

See Google Privacy Policy and Google ad controls.

Permissions and technical services

Camera and microphone are used for features you initiate, such as taking a photo, scanning a barcode or recording a note. Android media/file pickers let you choose specific files. Broad photo-library or storage access is not required. Notification, exact-alarm, full-screen, overlay and battery-related access support optional local reminders. Device authentication may use Android biometrics or credentials; the app does not receive your biometric template.

The barcode scanner uses Google ML Kit. Google SDKs may process technical usage, device and diagnostic information independently of business-record storage or advertising consent. You can avoid scanning or revoke camera permission in Android settings.

Exports and sharing

When you choose to export or share records, open WhatsApp, call a number or open an external link, the selected information is handed to the chosen destination. CSV exports are readable and not encrypted. Manual backup files use a recovery password chosen by you; the app does not store or recover that password. Installation-bound automatic backups cannot be recovered after uninstalling or on another device.

Retention, deletion and your choices

Local records remain until you delete them, clear app storage or uninstall. Some linked records are archived rather than deleted to preserve history; note trash, backups, exported copies and recipients' copies may need separate deletion. Keep a portable encrypted backup if you need to retain your records. The publisher cannot recover a lost local encryption key, backup password or deleted records from a remote business database.

You can change Android permissions, app protection and Google advertising choices. To request deletion of publisher-held support correspondence or verification metadata, email veromtec@gmail.com with the subject "Local Business data deletion". Describe the data to delete and provide only the information needed to identify your request. We may verify your identity proportionately. We delete publisher-held data that we can identify unless retention is required for legal obligations, dispute handling or fraud prevention; we explain any applicable exception in our response. The verifier does not keep a purchase-token database or business records. Its temporary rate-limit counters expire after approximately 15 minutes with scheduled cleanup. You must delete device records, backups and exported copies separately. Google independently manages its advertising, account and purchase records. Cancel subscriptions separately through Google Play.

United States privacy information

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or a copy of personal information, and to opt out of certain targeted advertising or sale/sharing as defined by applicable state law. Advertising disclosures can be treated as sharing or targeted advertising under some state laws. We do not sell your business records for money.

To make a request or appeal a decision, email veromtec@gmail.com and identify the request without sending unnecessary sensitive records. We may ask for proportionate verification and will respond as required by applicable law. Authorized agents may contact us where permitted. We will not unlawfully discriminate for exercising applicable rights. Available rights depend on the laws applicable to your request.

Children and international processing

The app is intended for adult business owners and is not directed to children under 13. Do not intentionally submit children's personal information. Contact us if you believe such information has been collected by the publisher. Google and hosting services may process technical information in other countries under their respective policies and safeguards.
