Privacy policy
At UVPay POS, we know that trust is earned, not assumed. As a point-of-sale platform that handles sensitive business, transaction, and customer data every day, protecting that data isn't a side responsibility — it's central to what we do. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have.
This policy applies to visitors of our website, users of the UVPay POS platform, and the end customers of businesses that use UVPay to process sales, loyalty programs, or digital receipts. If you have questions after reading this policy, our contact details are provided at the end of this document.
