Budget Collab ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and website.
We may collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, and profile photo when you create an account.
Budget Collab stores financial data you enter — transactions, budgets, payroll records, savings goals, and payment schedules. This data is encrypted locally on your device and in transit to our servers.
We collect anonymous usage statistics (feature interactions, crash reports, performance metrics) to improve the app experience.
Your data is stored locally on your device using Hive (an encrypted local database) and synced to Firebase when you are online. All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS protocols. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in the following circumstances:
You have full control over your data. Here's how deletion works:
You can delete individual transactions, budgets, goals, and other records directly within the app at any time. These deletions are permanent after sync.
To delete your entire account and all associated data:
Upon account deletion, we permanently erase your profile information, budget data, transactions, payroll records, savings goals, scheduled payments, and all other personal data from our servers. Local data on your device must be removed by uninstalling the app or clearing app data.
We retain a minimal record of your account for up to 30 days after deletion to prevent accidental loss. After this period, all remaining data is permanently deleted or anonymized. We may retain certain information longer if required by applicable law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., tax records for processed payments).
Data deleted from our live systems is purged from our backup systems within 90 days.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we follow the deletion process described in Section 5. We may retain aggregated, anonymized data for analytics purposes after account deletion.
Budget Collab is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the app or by email. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
