Privacy

Last updated: 22 October 2026

Oli is a payment announcer. It is built to keep your information on your phone. This page says exactly what it reads, what it keeps, and what it never does.

What Oli reads

With your permission (“notification access”), Oli reads the text of notifications from payment apps such as PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM and Navi, and bank credit alerts shown by your SMS app. It uses them only to say the amount aloud when you are paid.

What Oli keeps, on your phone only

• A short activity log of recent events (amounts and app names, to help fix problems).
• A payment history: amount, time and app. The payer’s name is saved only if you turn on “Say who paid”. Notes you add are saved too.
• Your settings, and the shop name, UPI ID and bank-account last 4 digits if you enter them (used only to draw your QR board and to filter bank SMS on the phone).

You can clear the log and the history inside the app. Uninstalling Oli removes everything.

What Oli never does

• It has no internet permission, so it cannot send anything off your phone.
• It does not ask for SMS, contacts, location, storage or microphone permission.
• It shows no ads and has no account or login.

Registering on WhatsApp (optional)

If you choose “Register your shop”, Oli opens WhatsApp with a message you can read and edit: shop name, a code, the app version and the phone model. It contains no payment details. Your mobile number is shared with Oli support only if you press Send, and we use it only to help you set up Oli and to tell you about updates. You can ask us to delete your details at any time.

Your choices

• Switch notification access off in your phone’s settings at any time. Oli then stops hearing payments.
• Clear history and the activity log in the app.
• Uninstall Oli to remove all its data.

Children

Oli is made for shopkeepers and is not aimed at children.
