Privacy Policy — Sky Cashback POS
Last updated: September 26, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Sama for Investments, the operator of Sky Cashback, collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information through the Sky Cashback POS application (the "POS App"). The POS App is the point-of-sale application used by stores that Sky Cashback has authorized to sell its vouchers. By using the POS App, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.
This Policy covers the POS App only. The Sky Cashback customer application has its own Privacy Policy.
2. Who This Policy Applies To
- Operators: the owners and authorized staff of stores approved by Sky Cashback as points of sale, who sign in to the POS App.
- Customers: registered Sky Cashback users to whom a point of sale sells vouchers. The POS App handles a limited amount of their information, described in section 4.
- Point-of-sale accounts are created by Sky Cashback. There is no self-registration in the POS App.
3. Information We Collect About Operators
3.1 Account Information
- Full name and mobile number.
- A password, used with the mobile number to sign in (stored encrypted).
- Store identifiers: the store (company) ID and your user ID.
- Store profile details, such as the store name and contact details, as registered by Sky Cashback.
3.2 Usage-Generated Information
- Records of vouchers bought by the store, including denominations, amounts, dates, and the payment method used.
- The store's total vouchers value.
- Records of voucher cards sold, including the denominations, date, and the customer the card was issued to.
- Reports built from these records: cards sold and the transactions report.
3.3 Payment Information
- Voucher purchases are processed by the payment provider you choose. Sky Cashback keeps the transaction record (amount, date, method, reference, and status), not full card numbers.
- For MTN Cash or Syriatel Cash, the paying phone number, which is sent to the provider to request the payment.
3.4 Security and Device Information
- Sell PIN: if you switch on the sell PIN, it is verified by our servers and is never shown in the App.
- One-time verification codes (OTP) sent by SMS to your registered phone to change or recover the sell PIN.
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) device token, to send notifications.
- Notification-tap events, recording when a notification is opened, to help us understand whether notifications are useful.
4. Customers' Information
- To sell a voucher card, the operator enters the customer's mobile number or scans the "Receive" QR code shown in the customer's Sky Cashback app.
- Our servers look up that number and return the customer's name and account identifier, so the card can be issued to that customer only.
- The customer's phone number is never shown on the card.
- This information is used only to issue that card and to keep the record of the sale. Operators must not copy, keep, or use it for any other purpose.
- Customers' personal information is otherwise governed by the Sky Cashback customer Privacy Policy.
5. Device Permissions
We request the following permissions only when they are needed for a feature you use:
- Camera: only to scan QR codes. The code is processed on your device; we do not record or store images or video.
- Photo library (save only): to save the image of a voucher card when you choose to save it. The App does not read your photo library.
- Notifications: to send push notifications about your store's vouchers and activity.
Each permission is optional and can be managed at any time from your device settings.
6. Information We Do Not Collect
- The POS App does not access your location, your contacts, or your microphone.
- The POS App does not include crash reporting.
- The POS App does not contain any advertising network or third-party tracking SDK.
7. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Account Management: to operate the point-of-sale account, verify operators, and authenticate sessions.
- Buying Vouchers: to process the store's voucher purchases and add the vouchers to the store's total vouchers value.
- Selling Vouchers: to issue each voucher card to the registered customer it is sold to, and to keep the record of the sale.
- Reports: to show the store its cards sold and its transactions.
- Communication: to send notifications, for example when the store's vouchers are added.
- Security and Fraud Prevention: to verify the sell PIN and to detect, prevent, and address fraudulent or unauthorized activity.
- Legal Compliance: to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal obligations.
We do not use personal information for third-party advertising.
8. Information Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We share information only with the following parties and only to the extent necessary:
