Security and privacy
How your data and your licence are protected.
- Your data stays with you. The desktop app runs entirely on your computer. No sales data is sent to us.
- The only network traffic is the licence check (activation and renewal) and, if you choose, nothing else.
- Signed licences. Ed25519 signatures bound to the machine; verified offline. Renewals are authenticated and protected against replay.
- Encrypted backups (XChaCha20-Poly1305) and encrypted secrets such as repair passcodes and digital codes.
- Audit trail of sensitive actions: price overrides, cancellations, code reveals, delivering unpaid jobs.
- Access control on every screen and action, PIN lockout, rate limits on login and on the public repair status page.
- Uploads are limited to safe image types and re-encoded.
- An internal security review was done before release; its findings were fixed and covered by tests. It is not a substitute for an independent audit.
Software licensing can be made expensive to bypass, never impossible. Hanouti is designed to treat paying customers fairly: grace periods and a read-only mode, never data hostage-taking.
