Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 3, 2026
Privacy-First Approach: Your financial data stays on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of your personal information on external servers.
1. Information We Collect
Our Budget Tracker app is designed with your privacy in mind. All data is stored locally on your device using your device's secure storage.
Data Stored Locally on Your Device:
- Transaction Records: Date, amount, category, and type of each transaction you create.
- Budget Information: Your monthly budget limits for spending categories.
- Subscription Data: Names, amounts, and renewal dates of recurring subscriptions.
- Custom Categories: Any custom expense categories you create and save.
- App Settings: Your preferences and local configuration.
2. How We Use Your Information
All data processing occurs entirely on your device to:
- Display your financial transactions and spending patterns.
- Generate charts and visualizations of your spending habits.
- Calculate budget totals and monthly spending summaries.
- Manage your local subscriptions and upcoming renewals.
3. Data Storage and Security
Local Storage Only:
- All your data is stored exclusively on your device using AsyncStorage.
- No data is transmitted to external servers, cloud services, or databases.
- Your data is protected by your device's built-in security features (passcodes, biometrics).

7. Data Retention and Deletion
