Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how our mobile application, [Insert Your App Name Here] (the “Application”), handles your information. We are committed to protecting your personal privacy and ensuring a secure user experience.

By downloading and using the Application, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.


1. Information Collection and Use

A. Personal Financial Data

The Application is designed as a local personal finance planner and expense manager.

  • Local Storage: All financial data, including transaction logs, budget amounts, income records, and custom categories, is stored locally on your device (via secure local database infrastructure).
  • No Cloud Transmission: We do not host, store, or transmit your financial data to any external cloud-based databases or servers. Your financial information never leaves your phone.

B. Personal Information

We do not require you to create an account, register, or provide any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, phone number, or bank account details) to use the core features of the Application.


2. Device Permissions

To provide a premium and fully functional user interface, the Application may request the following standard device permissions:

  • Storage/Media Access: Required solely if you choose to export your budget data (e.g., as an Excel/CSV file) to your local storage, or if you upload custom images/icons within the app.
  • Network Access: The app operates fully offline. However, minimal network permissions may be used strictly for handling framework dependencies or serving non-personalized advertisements (if applicable).

3. Third-Party Services

The Application may use third-party libraries or SDKs (such as Google Play Services or Firebase Analytics) strictly to monitor app performance, track crash logs, and improve stability. These third-party services may collect standard, non-personally identifiable technical information automatically, such as:

  • Device type and operating system version.
  • App crashes and performance metrics.

These service providers have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.


4. Data Security

Because your data is stored entirely on your local device, the security of your financial records relies heavily on your device’s security. We recommend securing your smartphone with a password, PIN, or biometric lock to prevent unauthorized local access to your budget tracker.


5. Children’s Privacy

Our Application does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. Since no data is transmitted to us, we do not retain any such information.


6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

💡 Play Console Submission Tips:

  1. Host the Policy Online: Google Play requires you to provide a URL to your privacy policy. You can easily host this text for free using Google Docs (set to “Anyone with the link can view”), GitHub Pages, or a free privacy policy hosting site.
  2. Data Safety Form: When filling out the mandatory Data Safety Form in the Google Play Console, you can confidently state that “No user data is collected or shared with third parties” regarding their personal financial history, since everything is strictly localized on their device.
