Privacy Policy

Introduction

MoneyLogger ("the App") is a personal finance application that helps you track expenses, manage categories, and monitor your spending. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the App.

Data We Collect

When you use the App, we collect and store the following data:

• Account information - your email address, used for authentication and account identification.
• Expense data - expense names, amounts, dates, times, notes, and category assignments that you enter.
• Category data - category names, icons, and colors that you create or customize.
• Scheduled expenses - recurring expense configurations that you set up.
• App preferences - your selected currency, theme preference, and other settings.

How We Use Your Data

Your data is used solely to provide the App's functionality. If you use the App without an account, your data stays on your device and is used only to display your expenses and summaries locally.

If you create an account, we additionally use your information to:

• Authenticate your account and keep your data secure.
• Sync your data automatically across your devices.

In both cases, your data is used to:

• Display your expenses, categories, and summaries within the App.
• Apply your preferences such as currency and theme.

We do not sell, share, or use your personal or financial data for advertising, analytics, or any purpose other than providing the App's core functionality.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is always stored locally on your device first. If you are not signed in to an account, your data remains entirely on your device and is never transmitted to any server.

If you sign in to an account, your data is automatically synced in the background to Google Firebase services, hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure. Data is encrypted in transit using TLS and encrypted at rest on Firebase servers. We follow industry-standard security practices to protect your information.

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services:

• Firebase Authentication - for secure user sign-in and account management. See Firebase Privacy Policy.
• Cloud Firestore - for storing and syncing your expense and category data. See Google Cloud Privacy Notice.
• Firebase Crashlytics - for collecting anonymous crash reports to improve App stability. Crash reports do not contain your personal financial data. See Firebase Privacy Policy.

Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your data:

• Export - you can export all your data as a JSON file at any time from the Settings screen in the App.
• Delete - you can delete your account and all associated data, including cloud-synced data, from within the App. Once deleted, your data cannot be recovered.
• Access - all data you enter is visible to you within the App at all times.
• Offline use - you can use the App without creating an account. In this case, no personal data is transmitted to our servers.

Children's Privacy

The App 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 under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
