Welcome to Expense Flow. This privacy policy explains how we handle your personal information when you use our app. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting it.

3. How We Use Your Information

Backup: If you choose to log in with your Google account, your data can be backed up. This ensures you can restore your data if needed.

Analytics: We use access data collected during your first login for internal analytics to understand app usage and improve our services.

4. Data Storage

Local Storage: All personal and shared expenses data are stored locally on your device using SQLite. This means your data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
