Local Shops keeps business data clear and controlled.

This Privacy Policy explains how OneGroup handles data in Local Shops, an app for store bookings, orders, products, employee work, payments, reminders, local device sync, and optional cloud features.

Developer: OneGroup | Email: onegroup1008@gmail.com | Last updated: May 8, 2026

Short version: Local Shops is built for local store operations. Most business records are stored on your device. Cloud services are used only for features such as login, profile, premium status, Google Sheet sync, or connected services that you choose to use.

1. Who we are

Local Shops is provided by OneGroup. The app helps shop owners, employees, and customers manage products, orders, dues, payments, employee tasks, attendance, salary, cash collection, invoices, and local store connections.

For privacy questions, contact: onegroup1008@gmail.com.

2. Data Local Shops may handle

Profile and account data: role, name, mobile number, email, address, login state, premium/admin flags, and profile timestamps.
Business records: products, categories, units, stock, variants, suppliers, orders, clients, invoices, dues, discounts, payment history, and reminders.
Employee management data: employee profiles, attendance, shifts, tasks, leave requests, salary records, cash collections, and handover notes.
Files and media: product images, invoice backup files, exported JSON files, Google Sheet sync data, and QR/barcode scan output.

3. How we use data

  • To create and manage orders, products, payments, invoices, stock, and dues.
  • To support owner, employee, and customer workflows.
  • To sync selected data between nearby owner, employee, and customer devices.
  • To send local notifications for order, payment, and reminder workflows.
  • To provide backup, import, export, and optional Google Sheet sync features.
  • To verify login, premium state, admin access, and account profile data when cloud features are used.

4. Sharing and third-party services

Local Shops does not sell your business records. Data may be processed by service providers only when a related app feature is used.

  • Firebase and Google Sign-In: used for login, profile, premium/admin state, and cloud-related account data.
  • Google Sheets: optional sync may export selected business records to a Google Sheet connected by the user.
  • Google Mobile Ads: may be used to show ads in non-premium experiences.
  • UPI and external apps: payment requests may open external UPI apps. Local Shops does not process card or bank payments directly.
  • Device-to-device sync: owner, employee, and customer devices may exchange catalog, order, and work data after connection approval.

5. Device permissions

  • Camera: barcode scanning, QR store connection, and product image capture.
  • Notifications and vibration: local order, payment, and reminder alerts.
  • Bluetooth and nearby Wi-Fi: local sync between owner, employee, and customer devices.
  • Network/Wi-Fi state: local socket, Wi-Fi Direct, and internet-dependent features.
  • Storage/media access through pickers: selecting, importing, exporting, or sharing files and images where supported by the device.
The current app does not use microphone recording, biometric access, exact alarm scheduling, or background foreground data-sync permissions.

6. Retention, export, and deletion

Local records remain on the device until the user edits, deletes, exports, imports, clears app data, or uninstalls the app. Cloud profile records remain while the account is active or while needed for support, security, legal, or fraud-prevention reasons.

You can request deletion of account/profile data by following the Delete URL Instruction page or by emailing onegroup1008@gmail.com.

7. Children

Local Shops is intended for business and store-management use. It is not directed to children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through the app, contact OneGroup for review.

8. Changes to this policy

OneGroup may update this policy when app features, services, legal requirements, or business operations change. The latest version should be used for app store, website, and support references.
