FAMOUS POS PRO Privacy Policy

Effective date:: 2026-11-09
Last updated:: 2026-11-11

FAMOUS POS PRO (“the app”) is a point-of-sale and business management app for Android, published by FAMOUS TECH. This policy explains what information the app handles, why, where it is stored and what choices you have. The app is built so that your business records stay on your own device.

1. Information you enter in the app

The app stores the business information that you or your staff enter: products and stock, sales invoices, purchases and returns, supplier and customer records (names, phone numbers, addresses, balances), employee records (name, phone, address, position, pay and payment history, and signatures drawn on screen), expenses, accounting entries, shop details (name, address, phone, owner, tax ID), printing and memo settings, bank or mobile payment account labels, and receipt or invoice photos and PDF files you attach. We do not collect this information; it stays in the app on your device unless you choose to back it up or share it.

2. Google account and recovery email (optional)

If you log in with your Google account inside the app (for Google Drive backup), the Gmail address of that account is saved on your device. It is also the address used to reset your login PIN if you forget it: the app asks Google’s Firebase service to send a password-reset link to that Gmail address. The app does not ask for or store your phone number for PIN recovery.

3. Login PINs

The owner, manager and staff PINs are stored on your device as salted PBKDF2 hashes. They are never sent to us.

4. How information is used

Information is used only to run the app’s features on your device: billing, stock, purchases, customers, suppliers, employees, expenses, reports, printing, backup and restore, and PIN recovery. We do not use it for advertising or profiling, and we do not sell it.

5. Where your data is stored

Your business data is stored on your device in the app’s private storage. FAMOUS TECH does not receive or store your business records on its servers. The app also keeps two copies in the Download/Famous POS PRO folder of your device: (1) the “Live folder”, which is always on and is updated within seconds of every change, so you can copy it to a computer; it contains the latest database, your attached files, and readable reports and a dashboard (HTML, CSV and PDF files) that show your sales, customers, stock and other business information; and (2) the Magic backup file. Files in this folder are not protected by the app’s password: they can be read by you and by any app or person you give access to your files. The live folder is not encrypted even if you turn on backup password protection. Keep your phone and any copy you make in a safe place.

6. Backup and restore

The app has three backup systems. (1) Google Drive backup: you log in with your own Google account and the app keeps one backup in your own Google Drive; each day only new or changed data is added to it. The app requests only the “drive.file” permission, which lets it see only the files and folders it creates itself, not the rest of your Drive. (2) Magic file backup: a single file in the Download/Famous POS PRO folder of your phone; each day only new or changed data is added to it. (3) Live folder: described above. A single switch in Settings turns on the automatic daily backup for the Magic file and, if you are logged in, Google Drive. Backups to Google Drive and the Magic file can optionally be protected with a password (AES-256 encryption); the password is kept on your device in the Android Keystore, and we cannot recover a lost password. You can restore from any of the three. You can log out of Google Drive in the app at any time. FAMOUS TECH has no access to your Google Drive or to the files on your phone.

7. Google and Firebase services

The app uses these Google services. (1) Firebase Authentication, only if you use “Forgot PIN” with a saved Gmail address: your Gmail address is sent to Firebase, which creates an authentication account for that address with a random password that nobody knows and sends a password-reset email; this only proves that you own the address, and the session is signed out right after. No business data is sent to Firebase. (2) Google Drive, as described in “Backup and restore”. The app is free and does not check a licence or trial, so it does not send a device identifier or licence information to any server. Firebase and Google Play services may process technical information such as IP address and installation identifiers under Google’s own privacy policies. Our use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements: it is used only to provide the backup features you request and is not sold, used for advertising or shared with others.

8. Permissions the app uses

Internet and network state: email PIN recovery and Google Drive backup. Bluetooth (connect) and USB: to connect to your thermal receipt printer. Camera: the app opens your device’s camera app so you can photograph a receipt; photos you take or files you choose are stored in the app. The app does not request your location, contacts, microphone or permission to read SMS, and it does not need access to all files on your device.

9. Data sharing

We do not sell your data and we do not share your business records with third parties. Information goes to Google only as described above. Reports, invoices or backups leave your device only when you share or upload them yourself, for example through the Android share menu. If you tap the support link in the app, WhatsApp opens a chat with the developer and WhatsApp’s own privacy policy applies to that chat.

10. Data security

Data is kept in the app’s private storage. The app does not allow Android’s automatic cloud backup of its private data. PINs are stored as hashes, backup passwords are protected by the Android Keystore, optional backup encryption uses AES-256, and connections to Google services use encryption (HTTPS). No system is completely secure, so please keep your device, PINs and backup password safe.

11. Data retention

Data on your device stays until you delete it or uninstall the app. Backup files stay where you saved them until you delete them. If you used PIN recovery by email, the authentication account for your Gmail address stays in Firebase until you ask us to delete it.

12. Your rights and data deletion

You can view, edit and delete your data inside the app. Uninstalling the app removes its local data; delete the Download/Famous POS PRO folder (live folder and Magic file) and your Google Drive backup yourself. You can log out of Google Drive in the app and remove the app’s Google access in your Google Account settings. To ask us to delete the records we hold in Firebase, follow the steps on our Data deletion page or email us from the address below.

13. Children’s privacy

The app is a business tool and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

14. Policy changes

We may update this policy. Changes will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date.
