Privacy Policy
Last updated 1 August 2026
Florin is a local-first point of sale system for retail stores. Sales, products, stock, staff, and customer records live on the devices in the store. This policy explains what data Florin handles, where that data sits, and what choices you have.
Who this policy covers
This policy covers the Florin app on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, and the Florin website at florin.yocoolmate.com.
The store that installs Florin is the owner of the business records it holds: sales, inventory, staff accounts, and any customer details the store chooses to enter. Florin provides the software that stores and syncs those records.
Data stored on your device
The Florin app keeps its database on the device it runs on. That database can include:
- Products, prices, categories, barcodes, and stock levels
- Sales, refunds, receipts, discounts, and payment method labels
- Staff accounts, roles, and shift activity inside the store
- Customer names, phone numbers, and balances, when a store chooses to record them
- Store settings such as printer, label, and register configuration
Syncing between devices in the store
Florin devices in the same store discover each other on the local network and exchange store records directly, device to device. This traffic stays on the local network and is encrypted with a key that belongs to the store.
Florin does not send store records to us as part of this local sync. If a store connects its own upstream server for backup or reporting, records are sent to that server under the store owner’s control.
Website accounts
If you create an account on the Florin website, we store your email address, your chosen sign-in method, and session records so you can stay signed in. Sign-in is available with email and password, a passkey, or a Google account.
When you sign in with Google we receive your email address and basic profile identifier from Google. We do not receive your Google password, and we do not post anything to your Google account.
What Florin does not collect
- No advertising identifiers, ad networks, or ad profiling
- No location tracking
- No camera, microphone, contacts, photos, or file access beyond files you choose to import or export
- No sale of personal data to anyone, ever
- No third party behavioural tracking inside the app
Device permissions
The app requests network and Wi-Fi state and local multicast permissions. These exist for one reason: to find the other Florin devices in the same store and sync with them over the local network. They are not used to identify you or to locate you.
Diagnostics and crash reports
The Florin app does not ship a third party analytics or advertising SDK. If a store enables error reporting for its own deployment, technical error details such as device platform and error messages may be sent to the reporting service the store configured. Store records are not sent as part of an error report.
Retention and deletion
Store data stays on the store’s devices until the store deletes it or uninstalls the app. Removing the app removes the local database on that device.
Website account data is kept while your account is open. You can delete your account at any time; see the Delete Account page for the steps and timing.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of the account data we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Where the law gives you the right to object to or restrict processing, or to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority, you keep those rights.
Write to yocoolmate+florin@gmail.com and we will answer within 30 days.
Children
Florin is a tool for retail businesses. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that affects what we do with your data, we will update this page and the date at the top of it before the change takes effect.
