4. Operational Estimates

LiteOS may process business data to generate estimated reports, recipe costing, inventory movements, COGS, gross margin, P&L, and other operational insights.

These estimates depend on the accuracy of the data entered by users and should not be treated as formal accounting, audit, legal, tax, or compliance advice.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell user data.

We may share information with:

We require service providers to process information only for authorized purposes and with appropriate safeguards.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including authentication, access controls, role-based permissions, restricted admin access, password hashing, secure token handling, and operational monitoring.

No system is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials safe and for ensuring that team users are assigned appropriate roles.

7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as needed to provide LiteOS, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain backups, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, and support business continuity.

Operational business records may be retained after account suspension, archive, or deletion where necessary for support, audit, legal, security, backup, or legitimate business purposes.

Where deletion is requested, we will process the request in accordance with applicable law and technical feasibility.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on applicable law, users may have rights to access, correct, update, or request deletion of personal data.

You may also request information about how your personal data is processed or raise a privacy grievance.

Requests can be sent to: privacy@liteos.in

If you are part of a business workspace, some requests may need to be handled by the business owner or workspace administrator because the business controls the operational records entered into LiteOS.

  • adding only authorized users;
  • assigning correct roles;
  • removing users who no longer need access;
  • ensuring business data entered into LiteOS is lawful and accurate;

Users may control cookies through browser settings, but disabling cookies may affect the functionality of LiteOS.

LiteOS may use optional analytics tools, such as PostHog, to understand product usage, improve reliability, and improve user experience. These tools may collect technical and usage information such as pages viewed, device/browser information, session activity, and interaction events. Where required, optional analytics will be used only after user consent.

You can manage your analytics preferences when you first visit LiteOS. If you decline analytics, the product will work normally without analytics tracking.
