Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
Nightcap POS ("Nightcap," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our point-of-sale application and related services (collectively, the "Services").
By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and password (stored in hashed form).
Business Information
We collect information about your business, including store name, address, tax identification numbers, and business license details.

We process and store sales transactions, inventory records, product information, pricing data, and delivery order details.
User-Generated Content
When you use our AI-powered features, we collect the text queries and questions you submit to the AI assistant, as well as document images you scan for processing (such as invoices).
Device Information
We collect device identifiers and push notification tokens to deliver notifications and ensure proper app functionality.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain our point-of-sale and business management Services
- Process sales transactions and manage inventory
- Deliver AI-powered business insights and document extraction (see Section 3 below)
- Send push notifications about delivery orders and business alerts
- Improve and personalize your experience
- Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support

3. AI-Powered Features and Third-Party Data Sharing
Our Services include AI-powered features that process your data through a third-party AI service. We use OpenAI as our AI service provider. Before using any AI features, you will be asked to provide explicit consent within the app.
AI Assistant (Copilot)
When you use the AI Assistant, your text queries and relevant business data (such as sales metrics and performance data) are sent to OpenAI to generate responses. This data is transmitted securely and is used solely to provide you with AI-powered business insights.
Invoice Scanning
When you scan invoices, the document images are sent to OpenAI for automated data extraction (such as vendor names, product details, and pricing). The extracted data is returned to the app for your review before any inventory updates are made.
How OpenAI Handles Your Data
- Your data is processed to fulfill your requests and is not used by OpenAI to train or improve their AI models
- OpenAI is contractually obligated to provide data protection standards equivalent to those described in this policy
- Data is transmitted using industry-standard encryption (TLS)
Your Control Over AI Features
You may enable or disable AI features at any time through the "Privacy & AI" section in the app's Settings. Disabling AI features will prevent any data from being sent to OpenAI. Core POS functionality remains fully available without AI features enabled.
4. Other Third-Party Services
We may use the following third-party services in connection with our app:
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google): Used to deliver push notifications. Device tokens are shared with Google's Firebase service for this purpose. Analytics collection is disabled.
- Payment Processors: Transaction payment data is processed by our integrated payment partners in accordance with PCI DSS standards.
- Delivery Platforms: Order data may be shared with connected delivery platforms (e.g., DoorDash, UberEats) that you have integrated with your business.
5. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and at rest
- Secure password hashing
- Token-based authentication with automatic expiration
- Role-based access controls
While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our Services. Transaction and business data is retained for the duration required by applicable tax and accounting regulations. AI query data is processed in real-time and is not retained by Nightcap beyond what is necessary to deliver the response.

8. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
