As a platform serving businesses ("Tenants"), we act as both a Data Controller (for account and platform operations data) and as a Data Processor (for Business Data that your employees and clients input into the platform).

We collect data through different channels and for different purposes. Below is a transparent breakdown of everything we collect:

A) Data You Provide Directly
Business name, slug, and type
Owner full name, professional email, phone number (with country code)
Tax Identification Number (TIN) for company accounts
Business address and physical location details
Uploaded company logo and branding assets
Bank and payment method information (if billing is enabled)
Client records (names, phone numbers, email addresses, TIN, addresses)
Product/inventory data (names, SKUs, prices, stock levels)
Invoice and transaction content (descriptions, amounts, dates)
B) Data Collected Automatically
IP address and approximate geographic location at login
Device type, operating system, browser name and version
Session tokens and authentication timestamps
Actions performed within the platform (audit logs)
New device fingerprints for security alerts
Portal search queries submitted by clients (anonymized)
C) Cookies & Local Storage

We use session cookies to maintain your logged-in state and localStorage to remember theme preferences (light/dark mode). We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

We use the data we collect strictly to provide, maintain, and improve the StockPro platform. We do not use personal data for advertising, profiling, or sale. Specific uses include:

Authenticating your identity and managing your session securely
Sending transactional emails: OTP codes, account activation status, security alerts, and system updates
Generating invoices, statements, and financial reports within your tenant context
Providing analytics dashboards scoped exclusively to your business data
Responding to support requests and resolving technical issues
Detecting, preventing, and responding to fraud, abuse, or security incidents
Diagnosing platform errors and improving feature functionality
Complying with applicable legal obligations, including law enforcement requests with proper legal authority
We do NOT: sell your data, use it for behavioral advertising, share it with data brokers, or build profiles for purposes unrelated to the delivery of the Service.

We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. Our legal bases include:

Contract Processing necessary to deliver the Service you signed up for — account creation, invoicing, session management.
Legitimate Interests Security monitoring, fraud prevention, platform improvement, and audit logging — where these interests do not override your fundamental rights.
Legal Obligation Compliance with Rwanda Revenue Authority requirements, court orders, or other applicable legal obligations.
Consent Where we rely on your explicit agreement, such as marketing communications. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

We share personal data only in limited, controlled circumstances. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. The following are the only categories of third parties who may receive data:

Email Service Providers
We use SMTP providers (configured via your settings) to deliver transactional emails — OTPs, activation notices, and security alerts. Only the recipient email and relevant content are shared.
Hosting Infrastructure
Our web hosting provider stores platform data on servers located in our configured data center. All data at rest is encrypted.
Legal Authorities
We may disclose information to law enforcement, tax authorities, or courts when legally compelled, with a valid legal instrument, and only to the extent required.
Business Transfers
If Lerony Co. Ltd is acquired or merges with another entity, data may be transferred to the new owner under equivalent data protection terms. You will be notified of any such event.

We require all third-party service providers to maintain adequate data protection standards consistent with applicable laws and our own policies.

StockPro uses a business_id scoping methodology to ensure that every database query filters data by the authenticated tenant's unique identifier. This means:

  • No user within one tenant can ever view, search, or modify records belonging to another tenant
  • Our Super Admin console provides read access for support purposes only, protected by multi-factor authentication and audit logging
  • Branch-level access control further restricts which users within your organization can see which data
  • All API endpoints validate both session authenticity and business_id ownership before returning any data

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to deliver the Service and meet our legal obligations. Our retention schedule is:

Data Type Retention Period After Period
Account & profile data Duration of active subscription + 30 days Anonymized or permanently deleted
Business transaction records Duration of subscription + 5 years (tax compliance) Archived then permanently deleted
Audit logs (user actions) 12 months Permanently deleted
Security event logs (login, device) 6 months Permanently deleted
Email delivery records 90 days Permanently deleted
Backup snapshots 30 days rolling Overwritten by newer backups
Support communications 3 years Permanently deleted

Certain financial and tax records may be retained for longer periods to comply with Rwanda Revenue Authority requirements (minimum 5 years from the end of the applicable fiscal year).

We use a minimal set of cookies and browser storage technologies, strictly necessary for platform operation:

Cookie / Storage Name Duration Purpose
Session Cookie PHP Session (PHPSESSID) Session only — deleted on browser close Maintains your authenticated login state across pages. Essential for security.
Theme Preference localStorage: "theme" Persistent (until cleared) Stores your light/dark mode preference. No personal data involved.
OTP State Session variable Session only Temporarily stores OTP verification state during login. Cleared immediately after use.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or cross-site behavioral tracking of any kind. You can clear cookies at any time via your browser settings, which will log you out of active sessions.

We implement a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your data:

Password Hashing

All passwords are stored using bcrypt (PASSWORD_DEFAULT) — they are never stored in plain text or reversible format.

SSL/TLS Encryption

All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.

OTP Authentication

Login is protected by a time-limited one-time password sent to your registered email, expiring after 10 minutes.

New Device Alerts

Security notifications are sent automatically when login is detected from an unrecognized device or IP address.

Brute Force Protection

Accounts are temporarily locked after a configurable number of consecutive failed login attempts.

Audit Logging

All significant actions (logins, data changes, exports) are recorded with timestamps, IP addresses, and user identifiers.

Security Incident Response: In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify affected account holders within 72 hours of discovery, in accordance with applicable law.

The StockPro platform is hosted in our primary data center. Email delivery services may route email through international infrastructure. Where data is transferred outside Rwanda, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

  • Standard contractual clauses requiring equivalent data protection
  • Transfers only to service providers in countries with adequate data protection frameworks
  • Encryption of data in transit for all international transfers

Your Business Data (inventory, invoices, client records) is stored on servers located within our configured hosting environment and is not transferred internationally except for email delivery purposes where technically necessary.

You have the following rights regarding your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@lerony.com. We will respond within 30 days of your request:

Right to Access

Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you, in a portable, machine-readable format.

Right to Rectification

Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data associated with your account.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to legal retention requirements.

Right to Restrict Processing

Request that we limit how we use your data while a dispute is resolved.

Data Portability

Receive your Business Data in CSV/JSON format for transfer to another provider.

Right to Object

Object to processing based on legitimate interests. We will comply unless we have compelling overriding grounds.

Requests related to your Business Data (inventory records, client lists, invoices) are handled through the platform's Settings → Data Export feature, or by contacting our support team. Identity verification may be required before we process sensitive data requests.

The StockPro Platform is intended exclusively for use by businesses and individuals who are at least 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18.

If you become aware that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately at privacy@lerony.com. We will promptly delete such information upon verification.

It is important to understand the distinction between two types of data on the platform:

Business Data

Data belonging to or generated by your business: products, inventory, invoices, client records, financial reports, branch configurations.

You are the Data Controller for this data. We act only as your Data Processor. You are responsible for ensuring you have a lawful basis to store your clients' personal information within our platform.

Platform Personal Data

Information about you as a platform user: your name, email, phone, login history, device fingerprints, and account configuration.

We are the Data Controller for this data, and this Privacy Policy applies to it in full.

If your clients request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal data that is stored within your StockPro account, you are responsible for handling those requests as the Data Controller for that data.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or business operations. When we make significant changes, we will:

  • Notify all active Business Admin accounts via email at least 14 days before the changes take effect
  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
  • Maintain an archive of previous versions available upon written request

Your continued use of the platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you should close your account before the changes take effect.
