Privacy Policy

How Counto, the inventory counting app by SLY Teknoloji, collects, uses, and protects your data. Local-first by design, GDPR-friendly, and Apple/Google Play compliant.

Last updated: June 8, 2026
On this page

This Privacy Policy explains how SLY Teknoloji ("SLY Teknoloji", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use Counto, our inventory counting mobile application, and related services available at counto.app (together, the "Service").

We built Counto to keep your data on your device by default. We designed this policy to be clear and to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Apple App Store guidelines, and the Google Play Developer Program policies.

Summary

Here is the short version. The detailed sections below explain everything in full.

  • Your inventory counts are stored locally on your device by default.
  • Cloud backups, if you enable them, are stored in your own Google Drive (Android) or iCloud (iOS) account — not on our servers.
  • We do not collect financial, bank account, or payment information.
  • Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store and Google Play, not by us.
  • Analytics and crash reporting are optional and used only to improve the app.
  • You can access, export, or delete your data at any time.

Who We Are

Counto is developed and operated by SLY Teknoloji. For the purposes of the GDPR, SLY Teknoloji is the data controller for the limited personal data processed through the Service.

You can reach us at support@slyteknoloji.com for any privacy-related question or request.

Information We Collect

Counto is designed to collect as little personal data as possible. The information involved falls into the following categories.

Information you create in the app

When you use Counto, you create inventory count sessions that may include item names, barcode values you scan, quantities, notes, and similar count data. This content is created and controlled by you.

Data stored locally on your device

By default, your count sessions, scanned barcodes, settings, and reports are stored locally on your device. This data stays on your device unless you choose to back it up or export it.

Cloud backup data

If you enable cloud backup (a Counto Pro feature), a copy of your count data is stored in your own personal cloud account: Google Drive on Android or iCloud on iOS. These backups live in your account, under your control, and are governed by Google's or Apple's terms and privacy policies. SLY Teknoloji does not host or have access to a central copy of your backups.

Purchase and subscription data

When you buy Counto Pro, the purchase is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not receive your card number or payment details. We may receive a subscription or purchase status (for example, whether Pro is active) so the app can unlock the corresponding features.

Analytics data (if enabled)

If analytics is enabled, we may collect aggregated, non-identifying usage information — such as which features are used and basic device and app-version details — to understand how the app is used and to improve it. Analytics does not include the contents of your inventory counts.

Crash reporting (if enabled)

If crash reporting is enabled, we may collect diagnostic information when the app crashes — such as the error, device model, operating-system version, and app version — to find and fix problems. Crash reports do not include the contents of your inventory counts.

What We Do Not Collect

To be explicit, Counto does not:

  • Collect financial information or bank account details.
  • Process payments directly or store card data.
  • Sell physical products.
  • Provide inventory valuation, pricing, or accounting services.
  • Sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.

How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information described above to:

  • Provide and operate the Service and its core counting features.
  • Enable optional features such as exports and cloud backup.
  • Unlock Counto Pro features based on your purchase status.
  • Diagnose crashes and fix bugs (if crash reporting is enabled).
  • Understand aggregate usage and improve the app (if analytics is enabled).
  • Respond to your support requests.

Cloud Backup and Storage

Cloud backup is optional and off by default. When you enable it, Counto stores your backup in your own Google Drive or iCloud account using the permissions you grant on your device.

Because backups reside in your personal cloud account, you control them. You can review or delete them directly from Google Drive or iCloud, and you can revoke Counto's access at any time through your Google or Apple account settings.

Analytics and Crash Reporting

Analytics and crash reporting are designed to be optional. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before enabling them, and you can turn them off at any time.

These tools never include the contents of your inventory counts. They help us understand stability and usage at an aggregate level so we can improve Counto.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with the limited service providers needed to operate the app:

  • Apple and Google — for app distribution, in-app purchases, and (at your choice) iCloud or Google Drive backup.
  • Analytics and crash-reporting providers — only if those features are enabled, and only with the limited diagnostic data described above.

These providers process data under their own privacy policies and our agreements with them. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, our users, or the public.

International Data Transfers

SLY Teknoloji operates from Türkiye, and our service providers (such as Apple and Google) may process data in countries outside your own, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we and our providers use appropriate safeguards — such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms — to protect your data in line with the GDPR.

Data Retention

Your local data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. Cloud backups remain in your Google Drive or iCloud account until you delete them.

Optional analytics and crash data are retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, and then deleted or anonymized.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure — ask us to delete your personal data (the "right to be forgotten").
  • Restriction — ask us to limit how we process your data.
  • Portability — receive your data in a portable format. Counto already lets you export your counts as CSV, PDF, or Excel.
  • Objection — object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
  • Withdraw consent — withdraw consent for optional analytics or crash reporting at any time.
  • Complain — lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@slyteknoloji.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Data Deletion

You are in control of your data and can delete it at any time:

  • Delete locally — remove individual count sessions in the app, or uninstall the app to remove all locally stored data.
  • Delete cloud backups — delete Counto backups directly from your Google Drive or iCloud account, and revoke the app's access in your Google or Apple settings.
  • Request deletion — email support@slyteknoloji.com and we will help you delete any data associated with the Service that is within our control.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. Local data benefits from your device's built-in protections, and cloud backups are protected by the security of your Google Drive or iCloud account, including encryption in transit.

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. While we work to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to protect your device with a passcode and keep your operating system up to date.

Children's Privacy

Counto is a productivity tool intended for general business and personal inventory use. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16 (or the minimum age required in your country).

If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at support@slyteknoloji.com and we will take steps to delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app, the law, or our practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.

Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
