Privacy Policy for ZUVEES Operations Team App
Last updated: July 13, 2026
Version: 1.1.0
Zuvees Delivery Services ("Company," "we," "our," or "us") operates the ZUVEES Operations Team App ("App"), a mobile application built for internal warehouse operations staff — specifically order pickers and florists — within the Zuvees supply chain. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, store, and protect your personal information when you use our App.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the App immediately.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The App collects only the information necessary to perform warehouse operations and fulfil orders:
1.1 Account and Identity Information
- Email address — used for login authentication only
- Password — transmitted securely over HTTPS and never stored locally on the device
- Full name and phone number — received from the backend after successful login
1.2 Operational Work Data
- Order picking activity — which order items and DRS (Delivery Route Sheets) you pick, mark, or scan during a shift
- QR code values scanned during the picking process for order item verification (not stored on device)
- Florist SKU assignments — items assigned to you and quantities submitted for QC
- Picker preferences such as sort order (by orders or items) and order source filter (Shopify or Marketplace), stored locally on the device
- DRS and order status updates transmitted in real time via WebSocket
1.3 Camera, Photo Library, and Order Approval Media
- Camera permission is used for QR code scanning during picking and florist workflows — frames are processed in real time on-device for code recognition only and are not stored, saved, or uploaded
- Camera permission is also used by the Video Approval feature, which lets you record a short video or photo of a fulfilled order for customer approval when enabled for that order. Videos recorded this way may include audio captured by your device's microphone
- Photo library access is requested only if you choose to select an existing video or photo from your device instead of recording a new one for the Video Approval feature
- Videos and photos captured or selected for order approval are uploaded to secure cloud storage and shared with authorised internal reviewers and, where applicable, the customer, for approval purposes (see Section 5)
- The App does not keep a persistent local copy of order approval videos or photos — the local reference is discarded once the upload completes
1.4 Push Notifications and Device Data
- Notification permission and an Expo push notification token, generated by the Expo push notification service, so we can deliver push notifications to your device
- A device identifier and device name are sent to the backend together with the push token when you log in, so the server can address notifications to your specific device
- Push tokens and device identifiers are used solely to deliver notifications — the App does not use this data for tracking, advertising, or behavioural analytics
1.5 Session and Connectivity
- Authentication token — issued by the Zuvees backend upon login and stored securely on your device using Expo SecureStore (encrypted platform keychain)
- Real-time connection status via Socket.IO to api.zuvees.ae for live order and DRS updates
1.6 Local Network and Printer Connectivity
- When you select a label printer, the App connects directly to that printer's IP address on your local network to send print jobs
- Only print-job content is transmitted to the printer — a QR code identifier and related label text. No customer name, address, or phone number is sent to the printer
2. INFORMATION WE DO NOT COLLECT
The App does not collect or request access to any of the following:
- Location or GPS data
- Contacts, calendar, or messages
- General access to your photo library or device storage — the only exception is the limited, user-initiated photo/video selection described in Section 1.3 for order approval
- Third-party account credentials (no Google Sign-In or OAuth)
- Advertising identifiers or behavioural tracking data
- Crash reports or analytics via any third-party SDK — push notification delivery uses Apple/Google push infrastructure configuration only, with Firebase Analytics and Advertising features explicitly disabled
3. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
We process your information based on:
- Legitimate Business Interests: For warehouse efficiency, operational accuracy, and supply chain management
- Legal Compliance: To meet record-keeping and regulatory requirements in jurisdictions where we operate
4. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

- Maintaining picker and florist activity records for operational oversight
4.3 Security and Access Control

6. DATA STORAGE AND SECURITY
6.1 On-Device Storage

- No passwords, QR codes, or order content are ever persisted on-device
- Order approval videos/photos exist only as a temporary local file during recording/preview and are uploaded to encrypted cloud storage — the App does not keep a persistent local copy after upload

- WebSocket (Socket.IO) connections are also established over secure transport
