Hardware Connector Privacy Notice
This notice supplements the MintLGS Privacy Policy for computers paired with the optional Hardware Connector.
Last updated: August 2, 2026 · Version 1.1

1.What the Connector processes
- a MintLGS checkout-station identifier and operating-system-protected pairing credential;
- Connector version, operating system type and version, computer fingerprint, health, and update state;
- printer queue names, drivers, ports, reported status, and supported USB serial-device descriptors;
- the printer or drawer configuration selected by an authorized manager;
- receipt fields needed for a requested print, including store, order, date, line items, prices, discounts, tax, total, payment label, and masked last four digits when shown;
- hardware job status, bounded errors, and drawer command results.
2.Why it is processed
This information pairs one checkout computer with a station, discovers and operates assigned hardware, prints requested receipts, opens or checks a supported drawer, delivers updates, diagnoses failures, prevents unauthorized commands, and supports the Customer.
3.Local storage and diagnostics
The pairing credential is protected using the signed-in operating-system account's credential protection. Local rotating diagnostics do not intentionally contain setup keys, pairing credentials, receipt content, customer records, full card numbers, or full server bodies. Device names and general errors can appear when needed to diagnose hardware. Operating-system protection cannot defend against malicious software already running as the same user, so checkout computers must be updated and access limited.
4.Network and sharing
Normal operation uses outbound HTTPS to the MintLGS release channel shown in the app. The Connector does not open an inbound network port. First-time setup temporarily opens a loopback-only page on 127.0.0.1 and closes it after setup. MintLGS uses the infrastructure, storage, monitoring, and support providers described in the provider list.
5.Retention and control
Local diagnostics rotate automatically. Disconnecting removes the local pairing credential and revokes it at MintLGS when the service is reachable. Uninstalling removes Connector application data. An authorized manager can disconnect an unavailable computer in Payment Setup. MintLGS may retain device configuration, job results, transaction records, and cash-drawer audit records under the Customer account's normal retention rules.
