Privacy policy
In short
- There is no account. You do not sign up and we do not know who uses the app.
- Your business data — documents, clients, suppliers, amounts, photos, signatures and settings — is stored on your device and in the backup files you choose to make. It is not sent to us or to any server of ours. We have no copy and cannot see it.
- Feedback reaches us only when you send it, from your own email app, and carries only your message, any picture you attach, and details about your device.
- There is no analytics, advertising or tracking in the app or on this website. If that ever changes, this policy will say so before it does.
Who we are
The Invoice Box is made by Bolbots Solutions (Pty) Ltd (registration number 2026/586542/07), Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa. Contact: support@theinvoicebox.com.
What the app stores, and where
Everything you enter is kept in the app's storage on your device. It stays there until you delete it, clear the app's data or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes it, so keep a backup.
A backup is a file the app makes when you ask for one. You choose where it goes — your device, Google Drive, an email to yourself, or anywhere else your phone offers. Once saved, that file is under your control and subject to the terms of wherever you keep it. We never receive it.
Documents you share (for example an invoice sent to a client) leave through the app you choose — email, WhatsApp, a printer. The app hands the file to that app; we do not see it.
Feedback
"Send feedback" in the app prepares an email in your own email app. You see what will be sent before you send it, and nothing is sent unless you send it. It contains:
- your message and the type you chose (problem, idea or question);
- a screenshot or photo, only if you attach one;
- device details: the app version, the platform, the device model, the operating system version and the screen size.
It never includes your documents, clients, suppliers, amounts or settings. We receive it as an email from your address, use it to reply and to fix problems, and delete it when it is no longer needed for that. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
Permissions
The Android app asks for one permission: internet access, which the framework it is built on includes. The app sends none of your business data over it. The app does not use your location, contacts, microphone or camera directly; pictures you add are chosen by you through Android's own picker.
Analytics and advertising
None. The app and this website contain no analytics, advertising, tracking pixels or third-party scripts. This website sets no cookies.
This website
This website is a set of static pages. Like any website, the hosting provider that serves it may keep standard technical logs (such as IP address, time and the page requested) for security and reliability, under its own policies. We do not use those logs to identify visitors.
Google Play data safety
What we declare on Google Play, to match this policy:
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Data collected by the developer | None. Business data stays on the device. |
| Data shared with third parties | None. |
| Feedback | Sent only by the user, from their own email app; it carries the message, an optional picture and device details. |
| Data encrypted in transit | Not applicable: the app sends no data to the developer. |
| Users can ask for data to be deleted | Yes: business data is deleted on the device; feedback emails on request to support@theinvoicebox.com. |
Children
The Invoice Box is a business tool and is not directed at children.
Your rights
Because your business data never reaches us, you control it directly on your device. For anything we do hold — feedback emails — you may ask to see, correct or delete it by writing to support@theinvoicebox.com. You may also complain to the data protection authority where you live (in South Africa, the Information Regulator). [To confirm: the applicable law and authority.]
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date before it applies. Paid features, if added later, will be described here before they are offered.
