Budget manager

# Privacy Policy

**Effective Date:** May 6, 2026

Budget Manager ("the app") helps you manage your personal finances. Your privacy is our top priority. This policy explains what data is managed and how it is handled.

## Core Principle: Your Financial Data is Private

The most important thing to know is that **we do not collect, see, or store your personal financial information.** All the financial data you enter into the app stays on your device.

### Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All the financial information you enter is stored securely on your device's local storage (`SharedPreferences`) and is never sent to us or any third party. This includes:

- Income details (salary or earnings)

- Expense records (amount, category, notes)

- Budget information

- Loan records (borrowed or lent amounts)

Since this data is only on your device, uninstalling the app will permanently delete all of it.

## Data Collected by Third-Party Services

To keep the app running smoothly and free of charge, we use industry-standard third-party services that may collect anonymous technical data. Your personal financial data is **never** shared with these services.

### For App Stability and Performance (Firebase)

In case of an app crash or performance issue, we use Firebase Crashlytics and Performance Monitoring to understand and fix the problem. These services may automatically collect anonymous information, such as:

- Device model and operating system version

- Anonymized crash reports and performance logs

This data helps us make the app more reliable, but it does not contain your personal financial details.

### For Advertisements (Google Mobile Ads)

To support the app, we display ads through Google Mobile Ads. Google may collect and use data, such as your device's advertising identifier, to show you more relevant ads. We do not control the data collected by Google. You can often reset your advertising identifier in your device's settings.

## Permissions

The app is designed to be minimally invasive and does not request sensitive device permissions such as location, camera, or contacts.

## Children’s Privacy

This app is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal data from children.

## Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy within the app.
