EU VAT Invoice Generator

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 27, 2026

Plain Language Summary

Your data stays on your device. EU VAT Invoice Generator is designed with a local-first architecture. We do not collect, store, or have access to your business information, client data, or invoices. All data is stored locally on your device only. We have no servers storing your data. The only third-party services we use are Apple and Google for processing in-app purchases.

1. Introduction and Data Controller

Welcome to EU VAT Invoice Generator ("VAT Invoice EU," "the App"), a mobile invoicing application developed by Storq Labs BV ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a company registered in the Netherlands.

This Privacy Policy explains our data practices and your rights. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Important Note on Data Controller Status: Because all data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted to us, you are effectively the data controller of your own business data. Storq Labs BV does not process personal data in connection with your use of the App's core functionality.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Information Stored Locally on Your Device Only

The following data is entered by you and stored exclusively on your device. This data is never transmitted to Storq Labs servers:

We cannot access, view, retrieve, or recover any of the data listed above under any circumstances. This data exists only on your device.

2.2 Data We Do NOT Collect

  • No account creation required - We do not store any user accounts
  • No telemetry or usage tracking

2.3 Automatic Data Collection

None. No automatic data collection occurs. All data in the App is voluntarily entered by you.

3. Permissions We Request

The App requests only one optional permission:

Photo Library Access (Optional - Pro Feature Only)

Purpose: To upload your company logo for display on invoices.

4. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with the following third-party services only:

No Third-Party Analytics, Advertising, or Tracking: We do not use Google Analytics, Firebase, AdMob, Facebook SDK, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or any other tracking or advertising services.

5. How Your Data Is Used

Data stored locally on your device is used exclusively for:

  • Displaying your business information on invoices you create
  • Storing and managing your client database
  • Creating, viewing, and managing invoices
  • Calculating VAT automatically based on transaction type
  • Generating PDF invoices for export or sharing
  • Tracking invoice status (Draft, Sent, Paid)
  • Remembering your app preferences

Data only leaves your device when you explicitly choose to export or share an invoice (via PDF export, email, or the system share sheet).

6. Device Backup Considerations

If you enable iCloud Backup (iOS) or Google Backup (Android), your device backup may include app data. This is controlled by you through your device settings, not by the App.

  • iCloud Backup: Managed by Apple under their privacy policy
  • Google Backup: Managed by Google under their privacy policy

We have no access to or control over device backups.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control:

  • Edit Data: Modify any business, client, or invoice data in the app
  • Delete Individual Records: Remove specific clients or invoices
  • Reset All Data: Use Settings → Reset All Data to clear everything
  • Uninstall: Removing the app permanently deletes all locally stored data

Data Recovery: We cannot recover deleted data because we never had access to it. If you delete data or uninstall the app, it is permanently gone unless you have a device backup.

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because your data is stored locally and not processed by us, you exercise these rights directly through the app:

RightHow to Exercise

Right to ErasureDelete records in app or uninstall to erase all data
Right to Data PortabilityExport invoices as PDF files
Right to ObjectNot applicable - no processing by us occurs

  • Right to Know: We do not collect personal information, so there is nothing to disclose
  • Right to Delete: Delete data in the app or uninstall
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell personal information
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We do not discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights

10. International Data Transfers

Not applicable. Because all data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers, there are no international data transfers to disclose.

11. Data Security

Your data is stored locally on your device using standard platform storage mechanisms. The security of your data depends on:

  • Your device's security settings (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID)
  • Your operating system's security features
  • Physical security of your device

Security Disclaimer: While we have designed the app with privacy in mind, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of locally stored data. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device. Because data is not transmitted, network-level security is not applicable.

12. Children's Privacy

EU VAT Invoice Generator is a business tool designed for use by adults aged 18 and over who operate businesses. This app is not directed at children and is not intended for use by individuals under 18 years of age.

Because we do not collect any data, there is no risk of inadvertently collecting children's information.

13. Lawful Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For the limited data processing that does occur:

  • Local App Functionality: Not applicable - data is not "processed" by Storq Labs as defined under GDPR
  • In-App Purchases: Contract performance (completing your purchase) and legitimate interest (fraud prevention)

14. Important Disclaimers
