Privacy Policy for Qwik POS
Effective Date: September 24, 2026 | Publisher: Balák-Horváth Norbert (Logiqo) | Contact: privacy@logiqo.cloud
1. Overview and Core Commitment
Qwik POS is a desktop point-of-sale software application designed for retail merchants. We hold a strict privacy-first principle: Qwik POS does not collect, sell, rent, or distribute personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or third parties.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when using Qwik POS (distributed via the Microsoft Store, Windows Installer packages, or direct downloads).
2. Information Handled by the Application
The application processes only data strictly necessary for retail point-of-sale operations:
-
Device License Activation: When activating the terminal, the license key (e.g.
POS-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) and an optional device name (e.g. "Counter 1") are securely transmitted to the Logiqo licensing microservice (https://license.logiqo.cloud) over TLS 1.3 to authenticate the device and issue a scoped session token. - Cashier Authentication: Cashier names and numerical PIN codes configured by the store owner are used exclusively to sign in local cashiers and identify which cashier performed a shift transaction.
- Transactional & Catalog Data: Sales items, product barcodes, prices, stock adjustments, and order numbers are stored in the local SQLite database on the host machine and synchronized with the merchant's designated cloud backend server.
3. Local Storage vs. Cloud Transmission
Offline-First Architecture: Qwik POS maintains its operational database locally on the user's computer inside the application data directory (SQLite pos.db).
Transactions, printed receipt journals, and customer lookup records reside on your local storage and on your organization's designated server. We do not maintain any central telemetry or analytical profiling of your shoppers or turnover.
4. Hardware & System Permissions
To perform its duties as a point-of-sale terminal, Qwik POS utilizes the following standard Windows/macOS capabilities:
- Local Printers (ESC/POS & System Print): Used strictly to send raw thermal receipt and label commands to connected thermal receipt printers.
- HID Barcode Scanners: Standard keyboard emulation or USB HID communication used solely to read product EAN/UPC barcodes into the cart search field.
- Network (Internet & LAN): Used exclusively to communicate over HTTPS with
license.logiqo.cloudand your authorized store API backend.
5. Third-Party Sharing & Telemetry
Qwik POS contains zero third-party tracking libraries, zero ad-network SDKs, and zero social media trackers. No user telemetry is shared or sold under any circumstances.
6. Data Retention and Erasure (GDPR / CCPA)
You maintain total control over your local data. To erase all local application state, settings, and cached tokens, users can simply click the "Licenc leválasztása" (Deactivate License) button within the app, or uninstall the application and remove the local application directory.
For any licensing data removal requests stored in the central licensing database, contact us at privacy@logiqo.cloud and all records associated with your organization or key will be permanently deleted within 14 business days.
7. Security Measures
All communication between Qwik POS and cloud servers is strictly encrypted using TLS 1.3. License keys are stored hashed using SHA-256, and session tokens are cryptographically scoped JSON Web Tokens (JWT) with automatic expiration.
