1. Introduction

Welcome to AWIMA Stock.

At AWIMA we believe running a business should be easy and safe, and that users’ data and privacy are a core part of the quality of any digital product.

AWIMA Stock was built to help shop owners and phone and electronics repair workshops manage their inventory, organize repairs, and follow customers, debts, invoices and daily operations from a single interface.

Because these operations involve important business and personal information, the app is built on one core principle:

Your data belongs to you and stays under your control.

The current version of AWIMA Stock relies on local storage on the user’s device. It does not require a cloud account and does not send business data to AWIMA servers.

This policy explains the types of information the app handles, how it is stored, used and protected, and the options available to users to manage their data.

By using the app, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

2. Nature of the app and how it works

AWIMA Stock is a business management app. In its current version it relies on a local database on the user’s device.

This means that:

• Inventory information is stored locally on your device.
• Customer information and contact details are stored locally.
• Repair operations and device records are saved inside the app on your device.
• Debts, financial transactions and stock records stay local.
• Photos, videos and invoices related to your operations are managed through the app according to its available features.
• You do not need an internet connection to manage your core data.

In its current version the app does not send your business database to AWIMA servers, and does not require a cloud service to use its core features.

3. Information the app handles

AWIMA Stock handles several types of data that the user enters while using the app.

3.1 Inventory and product information

This may include:

• Product and device names.
• Available quantities.
• Purchase and sale prices.
• Supplier information, if entered by the user.
• Stock in and out operations.
• Edit logs and commercial movements.

This data is used to organize inventory, follow business operations and compute available quantities.

3.2 Customer information

This may include:

• Customer names.
• Phone numbers.
• Contact information.
• Transaction history linked to the customer.
• Details of repairs and services provided to them.

The app uses this information to link transactions to their customers and make it easier to follow services and obligations.

3.3 Device and repair information

This may include:

• Device type and model.
• IMEI number when entered.
• Description of the fault.
• Repair details.
• Date the device was received and returned.
• Repair status.
• Cost of the service.
• Warranty information.
• Photos of the device or parts related to the repair.

This information is used to organize maintenance work and document repair stages.

3.4 Financial information and debts

The app may store:

• Amounts due.
• Recorded debts.
• Payments.
• Prices of services and products.
• Invoices.
• Financial transaction history.

This information is meant to help the user manage their business. In the current version the developer does not review or monitor it through AWIMA servers.

3.5 Photos, videos and documents

The app may let the user add photos, videos or documents linked to devices, repairs or invoices, depending on the available features.

These files are used for the purposes the user chooses inside the app.

4. How data is stored

AWIMA Stock uses a local SQLite database through the app’s internal storage.

Data is kept in the app’s dedicated space on the user’s device.

In the current version:

• The database is not uploaded to AWIMA servers.
• There is no automatic cloud sync of business data.
• The app does not need a cloud user account.
• Inventory, customer and debt data are not shared with other users through AWIMA servers.

We consider local storage a core part of the app’s design, because it gives the user more independence in running their business.

5. App permissions

AWIMA Stock may request certain device permissions to run specific features.

These permissions are not requested merely to collect information, but to enable the features linked to them.

5.1 Camera permission

Used for:

• Photographing devices and receipts.
• Documenting the condition of devices before and after repair.
• Scanning barcodes.
• Reading or scanning IMEI numbers using supported features.

Images are processed to read text and codes on your device and are not sent to AWIMA servers.

5.2 Microphone permission

Used when you use the app’s voice features, such as voice commands or video recording with sound.

Note: Voice commands rely on the speech recognition service installed in the Android system on your device (provided by Google or the device manufacturer). Depending on your device settings and its own policies, that service may send audio to its servers for processing, not to AWIMA servers. You can choose not to use this feature, and all other features of the app work without it.

5.3 Notifications permission

Used to send alerts related to app features, such as:

• Warranty dates.
• Late repairs.
• Stock alerts.
• Debt reminders.

The user can manage notification permissions from the device settings. These notifications are created locally on your device.

5.4 Internet permission

The app uses the internet connection when it needs to open contact links or external services linked to its features.

In the current version, the internet connection is not used to send the user’s database to AWIMA servers.

6. Backup and data restore

AWIMA Stock lets you create backups of your data and restore them when needed.

Backup files are created by the app, and the user chooses where to save or share them.

These files can help to:

• Keep a copy of important data.
• Restore data after changing phones.
• Move information to another device.
• Protect information from loss caused by device failures.

User responsibility for backups

The user is responsible for choosing a safe place to keep backup files.

We recommend:

• Keeping regular backups.
• Not sharing backup files with untrusted people.
• Saving files in a safe place.
• Avoiding keeping the only copy of the data on the same phone.
• Making sure the backup can be accessed when needed.

Backup files may contain business and personal information and must be treated as private files.

AWIMA does not automatically manage or monitor the places where the user chooses to save data copies.

7. Sharing data with third parties

AWIMA respects users’ privacy and the confidentiality of the business information they manage.

In the current version, the app does not send inventory, customer, debt or repair data to AWIMA servers, and does not sell, rent or share this data with third parties.

If the user chooses to export or share a file or send a message (such as a receipt, invoice or reminder via WhatsApp), sharing happens at their choice, and they are responsible for whom they send it to.

Links and external services

The app may contain contact links or links to external services.

When opening these links the user may be taken to a third-party app or website.

Data the user provides to these parties is subject to their own privacy policies, not only to the AWIMA Stock policy.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external service before giving it personal information.

8. Information protection and data security

We design AWIMA Stock to help users keep their data locally and reduce the need to move it over the internet.

However, local storage does not mean all security risks disappear.

Information protection also depends on the security of the device the person uses.

We therefore recommend that users:

• Use a secure screen lock.
• Not let untrusted people use the phone.
• Update the operating system and the app when updates are available.
• Keep backups in safe places.
• Not share data files with untrusted parties.

Absolute protection of any information system or electronic device cannot be guaranteed, so no storage method should be considered 100% secure.

9. Data retention and deletion

User data stays in the app on their device as long as the app keeps it and the user has not deleted it or removed the app.

AWIMA does not impose a central retention period for business data on its servers in the current version, because it does not receive this data at all.

Deleting data

Users can delete app data through the data management options available in the app or through the device settings.

Uninstalling the app from the phone also deletes its private local data.

Please note that:

• Backup files that were exported earlier may remain saved.
• Files the user shared with other apps or services are not deleted automatically.
• External backups must be deleted separately if the user wants to get rid of them.

10. Privacy of customers and people whose data is recorded

Shop and workshop owners may use the app to record their customers’ data.

In this case the user is responsible for:

• Obtaining information lawfully.
• Using information for appropriate business purposes.
• Respecting customers’ privacy.
• Not entering information the business does not need.
• Not sharing customer information with unauthorized parties.

AWIMA Stock is a business management tool, and using it does not give the user an automatic right to collect, publish or share people’s data without a lawful basis.

The business owner is responsible for complying with applicable personal data protection laws, including, in Morocco, Law No. 09-08 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data.

11. Children’s privacy

AWIMA Stock is aimed primarily at professional and business use and is not designed as a service for children.

The app does not aim to collect children’s data or target them with special services.

Users must not enter children’s data or personal information unless there is a lawful basis and the appropriate legal protection requirements are respected.

12. Cloud sync and future development

AWIMA is developing its technical foundation to offer additional capabilities to users in the future.

Among them is an optional cloud sync that may allow business data to be restored when changing or losing a phone.

It is important to be clear that:

Cloud sync is not enabled in the current version of AWIMA Stock.

If this service is launched in the future, we will commit to the following principles:

1. Sync will be optional and not required to use the core app.
2. The user will be told which data will be synced.
3. The user will be informed how the service works before enabling it.
4. The protection and encryption mechanisms used will be explained.
5. The privacy policy will be updated to match the new service.
6. Sync will not be enabled without a clear decision by the user to join.

Our goal is to preserve the user’s freedom to choose how they store and manage their data.

13. User rights

We believe users must have control over their data.

Given the local storage in the current version, users can manage their information through the app’s features and their device.

Their options include:

• Accessing the information they entered.
• Editing data that can be edited.
• Deleting records according to the app’s features.
• Creating a backup.
• Restoring data from a backup.
• Choosing where to save or share files.
• Using the app without enabling a cloud service.

If you have questions about your privacy or how the app works, you can contact us at the email address in this policy.

14. Updates and changes to the privacy policy

We may update this policy when changes occur in the app’s features, its technical architecture or legal requirements.

When we make significant changes, we will update the date of the last review and publish the new version on the official website or approved channels.

We advise users to review this page periodically to learn of any changes in how their data is handled.

Publishing an update to this policy does not mean future features are automatically enabled; any new feature must be explained according to its actual nature.

15. Contact and inquiries

We welcome all inquiries about privacy, data protection and the use of AWIMA Stock.

16. AWIMA’s commitment to privacy

At AWIMA we consider protecting user data part of our responsibility in building useful and trustworthy digital products.

We want users to be able to run their shop or workshop without feeling their business data is out of their control.

That is why AWIMA Stock started with local storage, with the possibility of developing additional services in the future without giving up the principle of choice and control over data.

AWIMA — Technology that works for you.
