Privacy Policy for Expense Tracker app

Expense Tracker (the "App") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information through our mobile application.

1. Information Collection and Use

The App is designed as a local-first productivity tool.

• Personal Information: We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, or location.

• Financial Data: All data related to your expenses, categories, and budgets is stored locally on your device's internal storage in a private database. We do not have access to this data.

2. Permissions

To function correctly, the App may request the following permissions:

• Storage Access: Required to allow you to export and import database backups and save PDF or CSV reports to your device.

• No Internet Access: The App does not require internet permissions. Your data is never transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers.

3. Data Backups

The App provides a "Backup and Restore" feature. When you create a backup, a file is generated on your device. You are responsible for the security of these files if you choose to upload them to a third-party cloud service (like Google Drive) or move them to another device.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not use any third-party advertising, analytics, or tracking SDKs. Your usage behavior is not monitored.

5. Data Security

Security of your data is important to us. Since all data is stored locally, its security depends on your device's built-in security features (biometrics, PIN, or password). We recommend keeping your device updated and secured.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our App does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13, as no data is collected by us whatsoever.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
