The Open Verification Manifesto: What We Log and What We Purge
A transparent audit of database entities, telemetry policies, zero-cookie stance, and one-click data deletion under modern data privacy standards.
Transparency Beats Marketing
Many online services use terms like "100% Secure" or "Bank-Grade Encryption" as promotional slogans without disclosing their underlying technical architecture. When scrutinized, their databases are often filled with permanent customer uploads, third-party analytics trackers, and persistent tracking pixels.
At SHHHH, we believe trust is earned through **verifiable architectural transparency**. Below is the exact technical audit of what our application stores, what it refuses to touch, and how customer data is permanently expunged.
1. The Exact Database Schema: What We Store
Our database schema is publicly documented. We use PostgreSQL via Prisma ORM. Below is the entirety of our `Order` and `Session` data models:
model Order {
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
token String @unique @default(uuid())
slotId Int?
product ProductType
finish String? @default("GLOSS")
quantity Int
pricePaise Int
customerName String
customerEmail String
customerPhone String
shippingAddress String
paymentStatus PaymentStatus @default(PENDING)
status OrderStatus @default(CREATED)
trackingNumber String?
cashfreeOrderId String?
epsonJobId String?
createdAt DateTime @default(now())
updatedAt DateTime @updatedAtmodel Session { id Int @id @default(autoincrement()) token String @unique @default(uuid()) orderId Int @unique expiresAt DateTime printTriggeredAt DateTime? } ```
**Notice what is missing from this schema**: - There is no `imageUrl`, no `fileKey`, no `s3Bucket`, and no binary blob column. - There are no customer metadata fields for photo GPS coordinates, EXIF tags, camera serial numbers, or file timestamps. - The image data exists exclusively inside volatile client RAM and the printer's hardware cache during the 15-minute window.
2. Zero Third-Party Analytics or Ad Tracking
- **No Google Analytics, Meta Pixels, or Segment**: We do not load third-party marketing tags, tracking scripts, or ad trackers.
- **No Canvas Fingerprinting**: We do not fingerprint customer hardware, screen dimensions, or fonts.
- **No Marketing Retargeting**: We do not retarget customers across Instagram, Facebook, or Google with advertisements featuring the items they printed.
3. One-Click Customer Record Deletion
Even though photo files are never stored, customer logistics information (name and shipping address) must be retained temporarily to facilitate courier transit (delivered across India in 5 to 6 working days).
Once delivery confirmation is verified: - Customers can email `support@shhhh.in` with their order token. - An automated API invocation sanitizes the shipping address, phone number, and name, replacing them with randomized hashes. - Order token entropy relies on cryptographically generated **UUIDv4** (122 bits of system entropy), making URL guessing computationally impossible.
SHHHH maintains dedicated private printers across major metro cities in India. These machines are never utilized for commercial bulk runs, marketing collateral, or public print orders. Delivered nationwide across India in 5 to 6 working days in opaque, tamper-evident packaging.
