What we hold, and why.

eInvoice sits between your counter and the fiscal system, so it holds records that matter. This is what we collect, what we do with it, and what stays yours.

01

Who this covers

This policy explains how eInvoice handles information when a business uses the platform for point of sale, invoicing, receipts, inventory, purchasing, withholding and branch reporting.

It applies to the people who run an eInvoice account — owners, managers and staff who sign in — and to the business records those people create while trading.

02

What we collect

We collect what the platform needs to work and nothing we have no use for.

  • Account information: business name, taxpayer identification, branch and store details, and the certified point-of-sale system number of each branch.
  • User information: the name, email address, phone number and role of each person you give access to, plus sign-in times and the actions they take in the system.
  • Business records: sales, invoices, receipts, purchases, stock movements, withholding entries and the customer or supplier details that appear on those documents.
  • Technical information: device, browser and network details recorded when the platform is used, kept for security and troubleshooting.

03

How we use it

Information is used to operate the platform for your business: issuing and storing documents, keeping stock and reporting accurate, enforcing the access rules you set for your team, and supporting you when something needs attention.

We also use aggregated, non-identifying usage information to understand how the platform performs and where it should improve. We do not sell your information, and we do not use your business records for advertising.

04

Fiscal submissions

Where a document has to reach Ethiopia's fiscal infrastructure, eInvoice submits it through EIRMS against the certified system number of the branch that issued it, and records what came back.

What that submission contains is set by the Ministry of Revenue, not by us. Once a document has been submitted, the authority's own rules govern how it is held and used.

05

Who else sees it

Access inside your account is decided by you: each person sees what their role and branch allow.

  • Service providers who host, secure and support the platform on our behalf, bound to use the information only for that purpose.
  • The tax authority and connected fiscal systems, for the documents and records you are required to submit.
  • Anyone else only where you ask us to, or where the law requires it of us.

06

How long we keep it

Fiscal records are kept for as long as Ethiopian record-keeping rules require, which is generally longer than the life of your subscription. Other information is kept while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards.

When you close an account you can ask for an export of your records, and we will delete or anonymise what we are not required to retain.

07

Keeping it safe

Information is encrypted in transit, access to production systems is restricted to the people who need it, and internal actions and fiscal exchanges are logged so an account holder can see what happened, who did it and when.

No system is perfect. If a breach affects your information, we will tell you what happened, what it affected and what we are doing about it.

08

Your choices

You can access and correct the information in your account at any time, add or disable users, and ask us for a copy of your records or for information to be deleted where we are not required to keep it.

Requests are handled through the account owner, since the business — not eInvoice — decides who may act on its records.

09

Cookies

The website and the platform use cookies and similar storage to keep you signed in, remember your preferences and measure basic usage. You can block them in your browser, but parts of the platform will stop working if you do.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes we will update the date on this page and, where the change is significant, tell account holders directly before it takes effect.
