Security, Data Backup & Storage Guidelines
We believe in complete transparency with our merchants. Here is a clear overview of our active security controls, customer backup responsibilities, and data retention rules.
Mandatory Policy: Plan Expiry & 90-Day Auto Data Deletion
1. Customer Backup Duty: GSTApply provides built-in 1-Click Excel Export functionality for all invoices, item stocks, customer ledgers, and transactions. Users must regularly download and save their own offline backups.(नियमित रूप से अपना डेटा एक्सेल में डाउनलोड करके सुरक्षित रखना ग्राहक की अपनी जिम्मेदारी है।)
2. Post-Expiry 90-Day Grace Window: When a trial or subscription expires without renewal, an account enters a 90-day grace period during which the merchant can export their data or renew their plan.(प्लान एक्सपायर होने के बाद डेटा बैकअप लेने के लिए केवल 90 दिन (3 महीने) का समय मिलता है।)
3. Absolute Release of Liability: Neither GSTApply nor its operators shall bear any financial, legal, or compensatory liability for data purged due to plan expiration or user failure to maintain offline backups.
🔒Implemented Technical Security Controls
Standard HTTPS / SSL Encryption
Web traffic between your browser and our application servers is encrypted using standard SSL/TLS certificates, safeguarding credentials and billing transmissions from unauthorized network snooping.
Bcrypt Password Hashing
User passwords are never stored in plain readable text. Passwords undergo irreversible salted bcrypt cryptographic hashing prior to database persistence.
1-Click Offline Excel Export
Merchants can export comprehensive item registers, transaction books, and party ledgers directly to Excel at any time for safe local archiving.
Staff Role Access Controls
Owners can provision separate credentials for counter staff with permission limits preventing unauthorized visibility of purchase rates and profit margins.
