3. Information We Process
3.1 Device, diagnostic, and usage information
The App and its service providers may process:
Device model, manufacturer, operating system, and app version.
IP address and network information.
Advertising identifiers, where available and permitted.
App installation identifiers and notification tokens.
App interactions, printing events, error logs, and crash diagnostics.
Advertising and analytics processing depends on your device settings, consent choices, and the services enabled in the App.
3.2 Business and receipt information
Depending on the features you use, the App stores information you enter, including:
Business name, address, phone number, tax registration details, and receipt branding.
Products, prices, add-on groups and options, availability, and stock quantities.
Orders, receipts, held bills, customer names, and order notes.
Discounts, taxes, payment methods, payment amounts, balances, and change.
Employee names, roles, permissions, attendance records, and activity records.
Hashed employee PINs and associated verification data.
Receipt templates, saved logos, and supported app settings.
Recording a payment method or amount does not give us access to your bank account or payment card details.
Employee PIN sign-in is separate from Google sign-in. Employee records belong to the business data stored in the App and may be included in its backups.
3.3 Google account information
If you choose Google sign-in, the App may receive your:
Google account identifier.
Email address.
Display name.
Profile picture, if available.
Authorization credentials needed to access the backup feature.
This information identifies the connected account, displays your profile, and connects your business data to the appropriate backup.
We do not receive your Google password.
3.4 Files selected for printing
The App processes images, PDFs, text, and other content you select for printing.
Selecting a file for printing does not, by itself, upload it to our servers. Content is sent to the printer you select. If you use sharing features, the selected content is passed to the app or recipient you choose.
Saved receipt data and template assets may be included in backups as described below.
3.5 Support communications
If you contact us or submit a bug report or feature request, we receive the information you provide, such as your message, contact details, screenshots, and diagnostic information you choose to include.
3.6 Purchases
Google Play processes in-app purchases. We do not receive your payment card details.
The App may process purchase tokens, product identifiers, purchase status, and related transaction information to verify purchases and provide purchased features.
4. Google Sign-In, Backup, and Restore
Google sign-in is optional for local printing and billing features. It is required to use Google Drive backup and restore.
4.1 Backup location and access
Backups are stored in A1 Thermal Printer’s private application-data folder within the Google Drive account you authorize.
The App requests the drive.appdata permission to create, read, update, and delete its own backup files. This permission does not give the App general access to your ordinary Google Drive documents, photos, or other files.
Backup contents are transferred between the App and Google Drive. This backup feature does not store a separate copy in an Ocabico-operated cloud database.
4.2 What backups contain
Backups may include saved products, add-ons, stock information, orders, receipts, held bills, business details, customer information entered in receipts, payment records, employee records, hashed PINs, roles, attendance, activity records, receipt templates, logos, and supported settings.
Backups contain saved app data; they are not a complete backup of every file on your device.
4.3 Sign-in and restoration
When you connect a Google account, the App checks for an existing A1 backup.
Where an existing backup is found, the connection flow can restore that account’s business data onto the device. Where no backup exists, the App can create an initial backup from eligible local data.
Restoring a backup can replace current local business data. Review the account and any notices shown before connecting or restoring.
4.4 Automatic backups
Automatic backup is enabled by default in the current version once a backup account is connected. You can disable it using the App’s automatic-backup setting.
When enabled, the App attempts to upload changed business data while it is active and authorized to access Google Drive. Backups may be delayed by unavailable connectivity, expired authorization, device restrictions, or other errors.
Backups are periodic snapshots, not continuous synchronization between devices.
4.5 Use of Google data
Google account and Drive data are used to provide account identification, backup, restoration, and related security and support functions.
We do not sell this data, use backup contents for advertising, or transfer Google user data to advertising networks, data brokers, or credit-information services.
Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will comply with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements where applicable.
5. Permissions and Device Access
Depending on your Android version and the features used, the App may request or use:
Permission or capability
Purpose
Bluetooth access
Discover and connect to Bluetooth printers.
Nearby Wi-Fi and network access
Discover and communicate with network printers.

Photo, media, or file access
Read files you select for printing and supported template assets.
Notifications
Display enabled notifications and service alerts.

Some capabilities are system permissions rather than runtime prompts. You can manage available permissions in Android settings. Denying a permission may prevent the related feature from working.
6. How We Use Information
We use information to:
Provide printing, billing, inventory, and reporting features.
Manage local employee access and attendance.
Authenticate the selected Google account and provide backups.
Restore business data when requested or through the account connection flow.
Diagnose failures and improve reliability.
Display advertisements according to applicable consent choices.

Protect the service and meet applicable legal obligations.

Account identification and authorization.
Google Drive API
App-specific backup storage and restoration.
Google AdMob
Advertising.

Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
8. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell personal information.
Information may be disclosed:
To service providers supporting the functions described in this policy.
To printers, applications, or recipients you select when printing or sharing.
When necessary to comply with applicable law or valid legal requests.
To investigate fraud, security incidents, or threats to users.
As part of a business transfer, subject to applicable safeguards and notice requirements.
Google account and backup data remain subject to the restrictions described in Section 4.
9. Local Storage and Security
The App stores business data and settings locally using its application storage, databases, and preferences. It may also keep local recovery copies to support backup restoration.
Online backup transfers use HTTPS. Local printer connections use the protocols supported by the printer and may not provide encrypted transport.
Employee PINs are stored as salted hashes rather than readable PINs. This does not mean all business data is separately encrypted by the App.
We apply reasonable safeguards, but no storage or transmission method is completely secure. Protect your device, Google account, employee PINs, and access to printed receipts.
10. Advertising and Consent
The App displays advertisements through Google AdMob.
Where required, the App uses Google’s consent-management tools to present privacy choices before applicable advertising processing. Ad delivery depends on those choices, regional requirements, and Google’s rules.
You can manage available advertising choices through the App’s privacy options, where provided, and your Android advertising settings. Declining personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all advertisements.
Google backup contents are not used by us to personalize advertisements.
11. Retention
Local business data: Remains until deleted, replaced through restoration, or removed by clearing app storage or uninstalling, subject to device backup and restore settings.
Google Drive backups: Remain until deleted or removed through backup-version cleanup. The App may retain previous snapshots for recovery.
Deleted records: May remain in older snapshots or recovery copies until those copies are removed.
Google account information: Is retained as needed for sign-in and backup association. Some account references and backup metadata may remain locally after logout.
Analytics, diagnostics, and notification data: Are retained according to the relevant service configuration and provider policies.
Support and purchase records: Are retained as needed to handle requests, provide purchased services, resolve disputes, and meet applicable obligations.
12. Your Choices and Deletion
You can:
Use local features without connecting a Google backup account.
Disable automatic backup.
Sign out of Google within the App.
Revoke the App’s Google account access through your Google account’s third-party connection settings.
Manage permissions and notifications through Android settings.
Remove local app data through Android’s app-storage controls.
Delete the App’s hidden Drive data through Google Drive’s app-management controls.
Signing out or revoking access does not, by itself, delete existing local data or cloud backups. Uninstalling the Android App does not, by itself, delete its Google Drive backup.
To remove all copies, disable automatic backup and separately remove local data and cloud backups. Previously exported or shared copies must also be deleted wherever you stored or sent them.
For help or requests concerning information we hold, email ocabicoitservices@gmail.com. We may need to verify your request. We cannot access or delete data in your Google account without the necessary authorization.
13. Customer and Employee Information
If you enter information about customers or employees, you are responsible for having an appropriate basis to collect and use it, providing any required notices, and limiting access to authorized people.
Enable cloud backup only if you are authorized to store that business information in the connected Google account.
14. Privacy Rights and Legal Bases
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal information, request portability, and withdraw consent.
Where applicable, processing is based on providing requested services, your consent, legitimate interests such as security and reliability, or legal obligations. Where consent is required for advertising or analytics, we rely on the choices you provide.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing already lawfully carried out.
You may contact us to exercise applicable rights or raise a complaint with your local data protection authority.
15. International Processing
We operate from India. Google and other service providers may process information in countries outside your country of residence.
Where applicable, international transfers are subject to legally required safeguards and the relevant provider’s data-protection arrangements.
16. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact ocabicoitservices@gmail.com so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
17. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as features, services, or legal requirements change.
The updated version will display a revised “Last updated” date. Where required, we will provide additional notice or request consent before new processing begins.
