Privacy

What is stored

Your name and email address, the workspaces you belong to and your role in each, and everything you record: items, locations, quantities, counts, movements, losses, suppliers and any photos you attach to an item. Every stock change keeps the name of the person who made it, which is the point of the ledger.

The website keeps one cookie, anbaro_lang, when you pick a language on anbaro.com: it holds only that language, so the site opens in it next time, and it lasts a year. Nothing else is stored in your browser by the marketing pages.

The website counts its visits with Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, from Vercel, which hosts it: which pages are opened, the site a visitor came from, their country, the kind of device and browser, and how quickly each page loaded. Neither sets a cookie or stores anything in your browser, and Vercel tells one visitor from another for a day at most. Everything after the ? in a page’s address is removed before it is sent, except the campaign tags (utm_) a link may carry.

Who can see it

People in your workspace, limited by their role and by the locations assigned to them. Nobody outside your workspace can read your records. Item photos are stored privately and served through short-lived signed links, never from a public address. A workspace logo, if the owner adds one, is the exception by design: it is shown to people you invite before they join, so anyone given its address can load it. That address is never published, and it cannot be guessed.

What leaves Anbaro

If you sign in with Google, Google tells Anbaro your name, your email address and that the address is verified, and nothing else from your Google account. Anbaro never sees your Google password.

Email delivery, error reporting and payment processing are handled by third parties where they are configured for a deployment; each is named in that deployment’s configuration. If you use Anbar, Anbaro’s AI assistant, the words you send it (typed or dictated) and your workspace’s item names, so it can match them, go to an AI model provider (Together AI, or a standby provider named in the deployment’s configuration when Together AI is unavailable) to answer or draft the change. No change is made until you confirm it. What Anbar keeps is in the next section. When you scan a barcode that is not in your catalog, Anbaro asks Open Food Facts and Open Products Facts, two open product databases, what the code is. Only the code is sent, never who scanned it or where, and the product name and photo they return are shown with their credit. Anbaro never contacts your suppliers for you and never places an order. Marking a reorder as sent records that you sent it.

When you talk to Anbar or count out loud, your phone turns your voice into words, on the phone itself when it can. Some phones use Apple’s or Google’s speech service to do it, as their keyboard dictation does. When a phone can’t, Anbaro sends the recording to Groq, which turns it into words and sends them back, and does not use it to train its models. Your workspace’s item, place and category names go with it, so they are spelled right. Anbaro never stores your recordings.

When you photograph a delivery note, Anbaro sends the photo to Anthropic’s Claude service to read its lines, or to Google’s Gemini service when Claude is unavailable. Neither trains its models on it, and each keeps it only for a limited period to check for abuse. Anbaro keeps the photo with the stock-in as proof of delivery, and deletes it with your workspace. A photo you never confirm is deleted after 7 days.

Anbar, the assistant

Your conversations with Anbar are kept so you can read them again in History, and they are yours: other people in your workspace cannot read them. You can delete a conversation from History while you belong to its workspace, and deleting your account deletes all of them. A conversation is deleted for good 12 months after its last message, or 24 months after when it helps train Anbaro’s own assistant (below). A message you say is kept like one you type: the words, never the sound. Recordings are never used for training.

Unless you turn it off, your Anbar conversations also help train Anbaro’s own assistant, so it gets better at stock questions. It is your choice, for your conversations only, in Anbar’s settings in the app and in Settings on anbaro.com. It starts off when the phone or browser you sign up on says you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, or doesn’t say where you are, and you can turn it on. Only conversations you had while it was on are kept for training; turning it off stops it from then on, and “Remove my conversations from training” takes back everything kept before, without deleting your history. No conversation has been used for training yet. Before any is, email addresses, phone numbers, web links and the names of people in the workspace will be removed; item, place and category names stay, because they are what Anbar learns to read.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account from the app or from Settings on anbaro.com, and it takes effect straight away. If you can no longer sign in, write to us and we delete it for you (see Support). If you own a workspace, that workspace and its records go with it. There is no archive and no undo. If you only belong to someone else’s workspace, your membership and personal notification settings are removed and the business records you created stay, attributed to a deleted user. We keep a keyed fingerprint of your email address and payment card, and the payment provider’s id for your trial, after your account is deleted, only to stop free allowances and trials from being used twice. Stripe keeps its own payment records as the law requires. Records of how much Anbar was used are kept for 13 months, linked only to that keyed fingerprint and never to your account once you delete it.

Getting your data out

A workspace owner can export the catalog as CSV at any time, from the console or the app. There is no lock-in and no export fee.
