Chairfolio is preparing for its first Google Play release. App-related sections describe the planned release; website and support information apply to this site.
Who we are
Chairfolio is provided under the PaperMint Studio developer name (“we”, “us” or “our”). This policy covers the Chairfolio website and planned Android release and explains how it handles information about users and their business records. We handle subscription-service and support information; the business using Chairfolio controls the client records it enters.
Visiting our website
Our public website is designed to be hosted on Cloudflare Pages. When it is published there, Cloudflare processes connection information such as IP addresses, requested pages, browser details, and request timestamps to deliver and protect the website. This website does not include advertising trackers, analytics scripts, tracking cookies, or an account system. Fonts and images are served with the website. If you change the website’s color theme, we save that preference in your browser’s local storage. It is not sent to us and can be removed by clearing this site’s browser data. Email links open your chosen email application; we receive the information you choose to send. Read Cloudflare’s privacy policy and Zoho’s privacy policy for their respective practices.
Your business records
Chairfolio stores your clients, contact details, notes, appointments, services, working hours, reminders, waitlist entries, products, sales, loyalty records and business-card information in app storage on your device. This version does not synchronize those records with a Chairfolio cloud server or upload them to RevenueCat. Protect your device with its available security controls and keep exported files secure. No storage or transmission method can guarantee complete security. Local app data may be included in operating-system-managed backups, depending on your device settings. These backups are managed by your device or platform provider.
Contacts and permissions
If you choose to import a contact, Chairfolio asks for the device access needed to open the contact picker. The selected name, phone number and email fill an editable client form; nothing is saved until you choose to save. We do not upload your address book. You can instead enter details manually and revoke permission in device settings. Chairfolio does not write to your device address book.
Notification and alarm permissions support reminders you create. You can turn reminder sound off or change notification permissions in device settings. Reminders may show appointment information on the lock screen, depending on your notification settings. We do not use microphone, camera, location or advertising-ID access in this release.
Purchases and subscription verification
On Android, Google Play processes paid Pro purchases. Chairfolio uses RevenueCat to validate purchases, restore access and manage subscription status. RevenueCat processes purchase and subscription records, a generated app-scoped customer identifier, Google purchase tokens, and technical app, device and store information needed to provide this service. Subscription checks can occur when the app opens or refreshes, even when you are not making a new purchase. Subscription data also supports subscription analytics. The identifier is pseudonymous; it is not a promise that these records can never be associated with you.
We do not send client lists, contact notes, appointment notes or your device address book to RevenueCat. We do not set customer email/name advertising attributes or enable advertising integrations in this release. Payment card information is entered into the store's purchase interface; Chairfolio does not receive your full payment-card details. Subscription requests are encrypted in transit. RevenueCat and the store may process data in countries other than yours under their applicable service and privacy arrangements.
Read Google’s Privacy Policy for its handling of payment and store-account information. RevenueCat acts as a service provider for the end-user information we send; see its privacy information for an explanation of that role. Contact Chairfolio about the data we send to RevenueCat.
Information you choose to share
Calling, messaging, sharing a business card or exporting records opens an app or share sheet you choose. You decide whether to send the content. The receiving app or recipient handles the information under its own practices. Contacting support sends the message you choose to send, your email address and any information you include. Purchase support and deletion-request drafts include the generated purchase reference so we can locate your subscription-service record. We use Zoho Mail to deliver and store support correspondence. Zoho processes your email address, message content, and attachments under its applicable service and privacy arrangements. Please avoid sending unnecessary client records, passwords or payment-card details.
Why we process information
We use subscription and support information to provide requested features, restore paid access, answer questions, resolve payment issues and understand subscription performance. We may also handle information where needed to comply with applicable law or address legal claims.
Where a legal basis is required, we rely on performing our agreement with you for requested services; legitimate interests in supporting, securing and understanding the service where those interests do not override your rights; legal obligations; and consent where required. Device permissions are managed separately through your operating system.
Retention and deletion
Local records remain on your device until you delete them or clear the app's storage. Archiving a client is not deletion. You can use the app’s deletion controls where available. To erase all local app data on Android, open device settings, find Chairfolio under Apps and clear its storage; labels vary by device. This also removes local settings. Aggregate usage counters can remain after individual records are deleted and do not contain client names. Clearing device storage does not cancel a store subscription. Remove any separate operating-system backups if you also want those copies erased.
We retain subscription information while needed to validate access, restore purchases, provide support or meet applicable financial, dispute or legal obligations. Support correspondence is retained while needed to handle the request, related follow-up or legal obligations. Information retained for an exception is limited to that purpose.
For subscription-service or support data deletion, use Your plan → Request purchase data deletion in the app, or email support@chairfolio.com. Use the subject “Chairfolio data deletion”. Include the purchase reference shown in the app-generated draft if available. If you do not have it, contact us so we can discuss another way to locate and verify the record. Do not send your store password or full card details. We will verify the request and delete data that we no longer need, subject to lawful financial, fraud-prevention and dispute-retention requirements. We will explain any information that must be retained. Deletion does not automatically cancel a subscription; use Manage or cancel subscription in the app.
Your choices
No Chairfolio login is required. The calendar and client records can be used offline. Purchases, restoration and subscription verification use an internet connection. Contact and notification permissions are optional for manual scheduling. This release does not display ads, sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising. Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction or objection, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it. Withdrawal does not change the lawfulness of earlier processing. Rights may be subject to exceptions. Contact the address above to exercise them. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority. If you are a salon client, contact the business that entered your records first: we cannot remotely access its local database.
Business use and children
Chairfolio is intended for people managing appointment-based businesses. It is not directed at children. Users are responsible for having an appropriate basis to store and use their clients' details and for respecting their clients' preferences when contacting them.
Changes
We will update this policy when the app's data practices change. New cloud, account, photo, online-booking or advertising features would require updated disclosures. The effective date above identifies this policy version.
