TingiFlow

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 27, 2026

TingiFlow is a point-of-sale and bookkeeping app built for Filipino sari-sari stores. This page explains what information the app collects when a store owner uses it, why, and how it's handled.

TingiFlow logs payments (cash, GCash, Maya, and utang/credit) for bookkeeping purposes only. It never processes payments itself, never extends credit, and never offers lending or insurance products. Nothing in this policy changes that.

What we collect

Phone number — used to log in via a one-time SMS code. There are no passwords to store.
Store name — set when a store first signs up.
Business records you enter — products, prices, customer names and utang balances, sales, and expenses. This is the bookkeeping data the app exists to hold.
GCash / Maya QR code images — if a store owner chooses to upload one, so it can be shown to customers at checkout instead of a printed sticker. Uploading a QR code is optional.

We don't collect payment card numbers, bank account details, or government ID numbers. We don't use tracking cookies or sell data to advertisers or data brokers.

How we use it

Everything collected is used only to run the app: signing you in, showing your dashboard and sales history, displaying your QR code at checkout, and sending the SMS login code. Your phone number is passed to our SMS provider (Semaphore) solely to deliver that code.

Who can see it

Each store's data is isolated — one store's products, customers, and sales are never visible to another store. We don't share your data with third parties except the SMS provider above, our hosting provider (which stores the database), and where required by law.

How long we keep it

Data is kept for as long as your store account is active. If you'd like your store's data deleted, contact us at the email below and we'll remove it.

Your rights

Under the Philippines' Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, and to object to certain uses of it. Reach out using the contact details below to exercise any of these.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, but no online service can guarantee perfect security. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us right away.

Children

TingiFlow is intended for store owners and is not directed at children. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.

This is a plain-language starting point, not a substitute for legal advice. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer, and depending on how many stores use TingiFlow, registration with the National Privacy Commission may be required under the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012. Consider having this reviewed by counsel familiar with Philippine data privacy law before relying on it at scale.
