We may use your personal data to form a view on what products or services we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you.

We may present opportunities when you use a KIT POS to provide your personal data to KIT and merchants to facilitate marketing communications between you and the merchant, and we will send such marketing communication if you agree to receive them.

We may contact merchants and merchant's personnel with marketing communications using the personal data that the merchant provided to us if the merchant actively expresses interest in making a purchase of KIT products or services or have made a purchase from us and, in any case, have not opted out of receiving that marketing, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Where required by law, we will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company outside the KIT and TSYS groups for marketing purposes.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us using the details in the Contact us section or clicking on the opt-out link included in each marketing message.

In general terms, we will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes identified in this Privacy Notice, including to provide our Services, to comply with legal obligations, to enforce and prevent violations of our Terms, to protect against fraudulent activity, and to defend our legal rights, property and users.

12. KIT Label app

KIT Label is our app for designing and printing shelf labels, and for sending prices to electronic shelf labels. It is available on Android, including SUNMI terminals, and on iOS. This section explains what the app does with data. The rest of this policy applies to it as well.

What the app uses

Your store login. You sign in with the login code from KIT POS. The app keeps that code and the session token encrypted on your device and uses them to read your store's details and product catalog from KIT. It does not ask for your name, email address, or payment details.

Products and labels. The app reads product names, prices, barcodes and tax settings from your KIT catalog. The label designs you create and the changes you make in the app are stored on your device.

Camera. The camera is used to scan product barcodes and your login QR code. Images are processed on your device. They are not stored or sent anywhere.

Photos. If you add a picture to a label, you choose it with the system photo picker. The app only gets the picture you pick.

Bluetooth and NFC. These connect the app to printers, barcode scanners and electronic shelf labels near you. The app does not collect your location.

Electronic shelf labels (Android only). When you send a price to an electronic label, the finished label image and the product details on it go to our electronic-label provider (Minew) so they can appear on the tag.

Crash reports. If the app crashes, it sends a report to KIT so we can fix the problem. The report contains the error, the app version, the device model and operating system, your store ID, and a short list of the last screens you used. It does not contain product names or anything you typed. You can turn crash reports off in Settings → Notifications → Diagnostics.

Feedback you send us. When you use Send feedback, we receive your message, the email address you enter, basic device details, and any screenshots you choose to attach.

What the app does not do

The app shows no ads and contains no advertising or analytics trackers. It does not track you across other apps or websites, and we do not sell any of this data.

Deleting your data

Data kept on your device is removed when you log out and delete the app. To have us delete the crash reports, feedback or store data we hold, see Accessing, modifying or deleting your information or email info@kit-pos.com with the subject "KIT Label data deletion". We will confirm once it is done.
