Privacy Policy

Welcome to Rivets: Simple Invoice Maker ("Rivets", "we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to safeguarding your personal data and providing clear, transparent information about how your information is handled.

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account and use the Rivets app, we collect the following data necessary to generate invoices and synchronize your account:

• Account Information: Your email address, password hash, and display name managed via Firebase Authentication.
• Business Profile Data: Business name, contact email, phone number, physical/mailing address, Tax ID/EIN, invoice prefix, default tax rates, and payment handle configurations (such as PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, and Bank transfer instructions).
• Customer Contacts: Customer names, client email addresses, billing addresses, and phone numbers that you enter to issue invoices.
• Invoices & Financial Records: Invoice numbers, line item descriptions, quantities, unit prices, discounts, taxes, contract terms, payment due dates, and paid/sent status.

2. Cloud Storage and Synchronization (Firebase)

Unlike legacy offline-only apps, Rivets Version 2.0 stores and synchronizes your account profile, customers, and invoice records securely in Google Cloud / Firebase Firestore. This cloud infrastructure enables:

• Real-time synchronization across your devices.
• Seamless data backup so your invoice records are never lost if you change devices.
• Secure transmission encrypted via industry-standard Transport Layer Security (HTTPS / TLS 1.3).

3. Payment Processing & Billing

We do not store or process raw credit card numbers on our servers.

• Google Play In-App Billing: In-app subscriptions and lifetime Pro purchases are processed securely by Google Play. We only receive anonymized transaction tokens and purchase validation status.
• Peer-to-Peer & External Payments: When you include PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle payment links on invoices, the transactions occur directly between you and your client on those third-party platforms.

4. Device Permissions

Rivets may request the following device permissions solely to provide core app functionality:

• Storage / Media: Required to save, view, and export PDF invoices to your device storage and share them via email, text, or messaging apps.
• Notifications: Used for optional local alerts reminding you when customer invoices become overdue.

5. Data Retention & Account Deletion

You have the right to delete your account and all associated data at any time.

• In-App Deletion: You can delete your account directly inside the app by going to Settings → Delete Account. This immediately purges your profile, customer list, and all invoice records from our live databases.
• Web Deletion Request: You can also submit an online deletion request via our dedicated deletion portal at simpleinvoicemaker.app/delete-account or by emailing [email protected].

6. Third-Party Services

We use trusted infrastructure providers to operate the application:

• Google Firebase / Google Cloud Platform: Authentication, encrypted database storage, and hosting.
• Google Play Services: App distribution, updates, and in-app purchase verification.
