# AasPaas Privacy Policy

Last updated: 20 June 2026

AasPaas helps users create grocery orders and share them with a shopkeeper through a secure order link.

## Information We Collect

We collect the following information when you use the app:

- Name, entered by you during profile setup.
- Mobile number, verified through Firebase Phone Authentication.
- Grocery order details, including item names, quantities, units, notes, custom items, and order status.
- Shopkeeper mobile number, entered manually or selected from contacts when you choose to send an order.
- Device push notification token, used only to send order status notifications.
- Basic crash diagnostics through Firebase Crashlytics.

## Contacts Permission

The app requests contact access only when you tap the option to pick a shopkeeper from your contacts.

Contacts are not uploaded as an address book. The selected phone number is used only to prepare the order share flow.

## How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

- Sign you in securely.
- Sync your profile and grocery orders.
- Generate and display shopkeeper order links.
- Show order status, bill details, unavailable items, and shopkeeper notes.
- Send push notifications when a shopkeeper updates order status.
- Diagnose crashes and improve reliability.

## Data Sharing

Order links are intended to be shared with the shopkeeper you choose. Anyone with the public order link can view that order page, so share links carefully.

We do not sell personal data.

We use Firebase services for authentication, push notifications, and crash reporting.

## Data Retention

Order data is kept so users can view previous orders and shopkeeper status history. Users may delete local orders from the app, but shared order records may remain on the backend for order history and operational integrity.

## Security

Authenticated app APIs require Firebase ID tokens. Public shopkeeper order pages use long random tokens and basic rate limiting.

No payment information is collected by AasPaas in the current version.
