This Privacy Policy describes how your information is handled when you use the Smart Daily Budget mobile application. Your privacy is critically important to us, and this policy aims to be transparent about the data the App interacts with.
This App is designed as an offline-first tool, meaning your core financial data is stored locally on your device and is not collected by us.
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact us at:
We have designed the App to minimize data collection. The information the App handles can be categorized as follows:
This is the data you manually enter into the App for the purpose of tracking your finances. This information is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. This includes:
- Transaction Data: Details about your income and expenses, such as amount, category, optional notes, and date.
- App Settings: Your preferences, such as the selected currency and display mode (dark/light theme).
While the core functionality of the App is offline, we use third-party services for advertisements and in-app purchases. These services may collect some information automatically to function correctly.
We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. Google AdMob may collect and use data such as device identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID), IP address, and information about your interactions with ads. You can review Google's Privacy & Terms for more details.
Upgrading to the Premium version will remove all advertisements and stop this data collection by ad networks.
If you choose to upgrade to Premium, the transaction is processed through Google Play Billing. We do not collect, receive, or store any sensitive payment information such as credit card numbers. You can review Google Payments' Privacy Policy for more details.
The information handled by the App is used for the following purposes:
- Core App Functionality: Your transaction data is used to calculate your balance, generate reports, create charts, and allow you to view your financial history. This processing happens entirely on your device.
- Personalize Your Experience: Your settings data is used to display amounts in your chosen currency and apply your preferred theme.
- Support and Improve the App: In the free version, revenue from advertisements helps us maintain and develop the App.
- Process Transactions: To facilitate the one-time purchase for the Premium upgrade via Google Play.
Your transaction data resides solely on your device. It is not accessible to us or any other third party through the App, with the following exceptions:
- Google Play Store: For processing the Premium upgrade purchase.
- Google AdMob: For displaying ads in the free version.
The App includes a placeholder for a "Cloud Backup" feature, which is a planned Premium feature and is not currently active. If enabled in the future, your transaction data will be securely encrypted and backed up to a cloud service. We will update this Privacy Policy and provide clear notice within the App before this feature is launched.
We may also disclose information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
- Storage: All your financial data (transactions, notes, etc.) and app settings are stored locally on your device in an internal database (IndexedDB).
- Security: Because your data is stored locally, its security is linked to the overall security of your device. We recommend you use a passcode, fingerprint, or other security measures to protect your device.
- Retention and Deletion: Your data remains on your device for as long as you use the App. You have full control over your data and can delete it at any time.
- In-App Deletion: Use the "Clear All Data" option in the App's settings to permanently delete all transaction data.
- Uninstalling the App: Uninstalling the App from your device will also delete all of its associated data.
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
If we become aware that a child has provided us with information without parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information promptly.
You have the following rights regarding your data within the App:
- Right to Access and Edit: You can view and edit all your transaction data at any time directly within the App.
- Right to Deletion: You can permanently delete your data as described in Section 5.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
For any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.
