Sealuno Inventory Privacy Policy

Effective date: 7 October 2026 · Published by Gate Wall Studios LLC

Sealuno Inventory (the “app”) is a companion client for the Sealuno business platform, published by Gate Wall Studios LLC. It connects to a Sealuno server that you sign in to.

Sealuno’s hosted service is operated by Gate Wall Studios LLC. If you use it, the data you enter or view through the app is sent to and stored on our servers over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and is handled under the Sealuno Privacy Policy. If your organization runs its own self-hosted Sealuno server instead, your data is stored on that server, which we do not operate. Either way, your business data goes only to the server you point the app at. Separately, the app sends usage statistics and crash reports to Google Firebase, as explained under Analytics and crash reports below.

Information the app handles

• Sign-in details. You enter your Sealuno web address and login. The app stores your server address, the last user ID you signed in with, and a session token on your device so you stay signed in. Your password is never stored.
• Business data. Inventory items, item groups, batches, stock levels and prices, vendors (including each vendor’s name, phone number, email address and postal address), customer codes and names, sales orders, and your workspace and account settings are fetched from and sent to your Sealuno server over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, at your request. This data lives in your Sealuno workspace: on our servers if you use the hosted service, or on your own server if you self-host. It is never sent to Google Firebase. If your workspace has WhatsApp or Telegram connected, the Sealuno service can use the phone numbers you store to send messages through those providers, as described in section 7 of the Sealuno Privacy Policy.
• Item photos. When you choose to add a picture to an item, the app captures it with your camera or reads it from your photo library and uploads it to your Sealuno server over an encrypted connection, to attach to that item. Photos are stored in your Sealuno workspace, alongside the rest of your business data. Cropping happens on your device.
• Camera. The camera is used to scan barcodes and, when you ask, to take a picture for an item. Barcodes are read on the device and the camera image is not stored or transmitted. The code that is read is used in the app, and is sent to your Sealuno server when the action you take needs it, for example when you save it as an item’s barcode.
• Printing. Labels are printed through Android’s built-in print service, using the printer you choose.

Analytics and crash reports

The app includes two Google Firebase services:

• Firebase Analytics, to understand how the app is used (for example which screens are opened and how often), so we can improve it.
• Firebase Crashlytics, to find and fix crashes and freezes.

Both start automatically when the app opens, before you sign in. The app does not currently have a setting to turn them off.

What Firebase Analytics collects. Google’s standard automatic data: events such as first open, session start, time in the app, the screens you view, app updates, app removal, operating system updates and app errors; and device and app details such as the app version, the app store it was installed from, device brand and model, operating system version, language, and country (worked out by Google from your IP address). It uses an app instance ID, a Firebase installation ID and your device’s advertising ID to tell devices apart.

What Firebase Crashlytics collects. When the app crashes or stops responding: the technical details of the error (the stack trace, the error message and the state of the app’s threads), the device model, operating system and app version, screen orientation, free memory and storage, whether the device is rooted, the time, and the Crashlytics and Firebase installation IDs. Crashlytics also records when app sessions start.

What we do not send to Firebase. The app does not send your name, email address, user ID, password, workspace name, phone numbers, items, vendors, customers, orders, photos or any other business data to Firebase. Firebase receives only the automatic data described above.

Who processes it. Google processes this data under the Firebase and Google Analytics terms. See Privacy and security in Firebase and the Google Privacy Policy. Data is sent to Google over an encrypted connection.

How long it is kept. Crash reports are kept by Google for 90 days. User-level and event-level analytics data is kept for the period set in our Firebase settings (Google offers 2 or 14 months). Aggregated reports that do not identify a device may be kept longer.

How you can limit it.

• Reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ads personalization, in your device settings (usually Settings, then Privacy, then Ads, or Settings, then Google, then Ads, depending on the device).
• Uninstall the app to stop all collection. Data Google has already received is kept for the periods above.
• The app does not link analytics or crash data to your name, email or Sealuno account, so we cannot pick out the data from one device. It is deleted automatically after the periods above. For any question about it, contact us at the address below.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your data.
• We do not show ads in the app.
• We do not send your business data to Google Firebase or to any analytics service.

Permissions

• Camera: barcode scanning and item photos.
• Internet: to connect to your Sealuno server, and to send analytics and crash reports to Google Firebase.
• Network state: to check whether you are online.
• Advertising ID (including the Android ad services ID and attribution permissions): used by Firebase Analytics, as described above. The app shows no ads.
• Install referrer: lets Firebase Analytics read the Google Play install referrer, which records how you reached the app's Play Store page (for example a link or campaign) and when it was installed.
• Wake lock: lets the included libraries finish short background tasks, such as sending a crash report.

Data retention and deletion

Your business data is controlled by you inside your Sealuno account: manage or delete it there. Signing out removes the session token from your device. Your server address, last user ID and app preferences stay on the device until you uninstall the app or clear its storage in Android settings.

If Android backup is turned on for your device, Android may include the app’s stored settings (including the server address, last user ID and session token) in your device backup, or copy them to a new device when you transfer your data to it. Your password is never included, because it is never stored.

Analytics and crash data held by Google is kept as described under Analytics and crash reports.

To delete your Sealuno account and its data, see Delete your account and data.

Children

The app is a business tool and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

We may update this policy; the effective date above reflects the latest version.
