Financial management app
Â
Effective Date: December 7, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how FinTrack (the "App," "we," "us," or "our") handles your information. We are an offline, local-first expense manager. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal or financial data to any external server.
FinTrack is designed to prioritize user privacy and data sovereignty.
The App collects and stores the following financial data locally on your device's internal storage:
Transaction Records: Amounts, dates, categories, notes, and account IDs, entered manually by the user.
Account Information: Account names, balances, and currency settings.
Configuration Data: User preferences and the Key Derivation Function (KDF) salt used for encryption.
We do not transmit, send, or upload any user-entered financial data, transaction data, or personal identifying information (PII) to our servers or any third-party service. The App functions entirely offline.
We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising identifiers that rely on network transmission.
All user-entered data is protected by industry-standard encryption protocols.
Your entire transaction database is secured using SQLCipher, which provides full-disk encryption using AES-256.
The encryption key is derived from your User PIN/Password.
The cleartext encryption key is cleared from the device's memory immediately after the database is opened for maximum security.
The secret component (salt) required to derive your database encryption key is stored securely using the Android KeyStore, which leverages hardware-backed security where available.
FinTrack only requests the permission necessary for manually managing backups.
Purpose: This permission is required only when you manually use the Encrypted Backup or Restore features to save or load your encrypted database file to an external location (e.g., local storage, cloud services).
Access Scope: We only access the file paths designated by the user during the manual backup/restore interaction.
FinTrack does not request or use the READ_SMS or READ_CALL_LOG permissions. We do not access, process, or store any text messages or call history from your device.
The App supports creating and restoring an Encrypted Backup File.
This backup file contains your fully encrypted database along with the necessary salt.
We do not store or manage your backup file or your encryption PIN. The file is stored solely in the location you choose (e.g., your Google Drive or local device storage), and only your unique PIN can decrypt it.
5. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob) To support the continued development of the App while keeping it free, we display advertisements provided by Google AdMob.
Data Collected by AdMob: Our advertising partners may collect and use information about your device, such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, and app usage data, to provide personalized and relevant ads. We do not share any of your personal financial data entered into FinTrack with our advertising partners.
Google's Privacy Policy: For more information on how Google collects and uses your data, we encourage you to review their policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Opting Out: You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting your device's advertising settings (typically found under Settings > Google > Ads).
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App.
