Information We Collect
Budgetify is designed as a local-first, offline application. The vast majority of data you enter never leaves your device.
Wallet names, transaction details, categories, labels, and any financial data you enter. This is stored exclusively in your device's private local storage — never on external servers.
If you choose to sign in with Google, we access your Google account ID and name solely to enable Google Drive backup and to identify your subscription with RevenueCat.
Anonymous crash reports and performance data may be collected by third-party SDKs (RevenueCat, Google AdMob) to help us improve app stability. This data is never personally identifiable.
🛡️ We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or any personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it within the app profile settings.
How We Use Your Data
We use your data only to provide and improve the Budgetify experience. Specifically:
- To display your wallets, transactions, and financial summaries within the app
- To calculate balances, budgets, and reports accurately
- To back up and restore your database via Google Drive (if enabled)
- To manage your subscription status via RevenueCat
- To serve relevant ads via Google AdMob (free tier only)
- To process recurring transactions and send local reminders
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal or financial data with any third party for marketing purposes.
Data Storage & Security
All financial data entered into Budgetify is stored locally on your device using on-device storage. This data does not transit our servers — we have no backend database storing your transactions.
Your data lives in your device's private app storage. It is not accessible to other apps and is permanently removed when you uninstall Budgetify.
If you enable Google Drive backup, your database file is uploaded to the hidden app folder of your personal Google Drive. This folder is invisible to you and other apps — only Budgetify can read it. Google's own privacy policy governs this storage.
⚠️ We strongly recommend enabling Google Drive backup to prevent data loss from device failure or app uninstall.
Google Services
Budgetify integrates with the following Google services, each governed by Google's Privacy Policy:
Used for authentication when enabling Google Drive backup. We only request the minimum permissions needed: your account ID, display name, and Drive app folder access.
Used exclusively to read and write your database backup file to the hidden app-specific folder. We never access any other files in your Drive.
Used to display advertisements on the free tier. AdMob may collect device identifiers and usage data to serve personalized ads. See Section 5 for more details.
Advertising
Free tier users may see banner advertisements powered by Google AdMob. These ads help us keep the app free for everyone.
- AdMob may use your device's advertising ID to serve relevant ads
- You may see a consent prompt depending on your region (GDPR / US state laws)
- You can opt out of personalized ads via your device's ad settings
- Ads are completely removed for Pro, Lifetime, and Ad-Free subscribers
Budgetify does not directly share any personal or financial data with advertisers. AdMob's data collection is governed by Google's Advertising Policy.
In-App Purchases & Subscriptions
Budgetify offers optional paid plans (Pro Monthly, Pro Yearly, Lifetime Pro, Ad-Free) processed through the Google Play Store and managed by RevenueCat.
All payment transactions are handled entirely by Google Play. We never receive or store your payment card information.
We use RevenueCat to track subscription status and entitlements. RevenueCat may store your Google account ID as a subscriber identifier. Their privacy policy is available at revenuecat.com/privacy.
Children's Privacy
Budgetify is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete such information.
Your Rights
Since your data lives on your device, you have full control at all times:
- Access — All your data is directly visible within the app
- Export — Use Google Drive backup to export your database file
- Delete — Use Settings → Reset App to permanently wipe all local data
- Portability — Your backup file is yours to keep and restore on any device at any time
- Google Data — Revoke Budgetify's Google Drive access anytime via your Google Account settings
🇪🇺 If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have additional rights under GDPR including the right to erasure and data portability. Contact us to exercise these rights.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the app.
Continued use of Budgetify after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
