Privacy policy

Mini Till ("we", "us") operates mini-till.co.uk. This policy explains what data the site handles and where it goes.

1. The free till

Everything you enter into the till: products, prices, sales, settings: is processed and stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. None of it is transmitted to us or anyone else. We cannot see it, back it up or recover it.

• Clearing your browser data permanently deletes your products and sales history, so download a backup from the till regularly.
• The "share product list" feature encodes your product names and prices into a link. Anyone you give that link to can import the list; nothing is stored on a server.

2. The Pro stock system

The optional multi-location stock system works differently, because syncing several tills against one stock needs a server. When a team signs in and uses it, we store in our database (Cloudflare D1):

• Your team name, locations, and product catalogue
• Team members' names, roles, and sign-in credentials (passwords and PINs are stored as salted hashes, never in plain text)
• Email addresses of members who sign in by email
• Stock movements, sales, shifts and reports for your team

This data is used only to provide the stock system to your team. We don't sell it or use it for advertising. Removing a team removes its data.

3. Payments

Subscriptions to Mini Till Pro are processed by Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe and never touch our servers. We store only what we need to run your subscription: your Stripe customer reference, subscription status and billing period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through the billing portal linked from the stock console.

4. Visiting the website

Like most websites, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes standard request data (IP address, browser type, pages requested) to serve the site and protect it from abuse. Server logs are kept for security and performance monitoring, typically for 90 days or less.

5. Advertising and cookies

The free site is paid for by Google AdSense adverts. Adverts appear on the content pages: the home page, About, FAQ, the EPOS guide, the how-to, the stock control page, the blog index and the blog articles. There are no adverts on the till itself, the pricing page, this privacy policy or the contact page.

On the pages that carry adverts:

• Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve adverts based on your prior visits to this website or to other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, enables Google and its partners to serve adverts to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
• These cookies are also used to limit how often you see the same advert and to measure whether adverts are working.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising by Google at Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of some third party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices.
• For more on how Google uses data from sites that run its adverts, see the Google privacy policy and Google's partner sites notice.

We do not set advertising cookies of our own, and we do not pass anything you type into the till or the stock system to any advertiser.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may change the adverts you see, but it will not affect the till, which does not use cookies at all.

6. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of personal data we hold about you, and to data portability. For till data we hold nothing. It is already on your device, and yours to export or delete. For Pro accounts, email us and we'll act on your request within 30 days.

7. Data security

The site is served over HTTPS. Pro credentials are hashed, roles limit who in your team can see what, and we collect the minimum we need. No system is perfectly secure, so the design holds as little of your data as possible rather than promising the impossible.

8. Children

The site is not aimed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

9. Changes to this policy

If the policy changes, the new version appears here with a revised date. Material changes will be flagged at the top of the page.

10. Contact and complaints

Questions or requests: hello@mini-till.co.uk or the contact page.

If you believe we've mishandled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, 0303 123 1113.
