Your privacy is
our priority.
Budgetify is built on a simple principle — your financial data belongs to you and only you. This policy explains exactly how we handle it.
Information We Collect
Budgetify is designed as a local-first, fully 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 to enable Google Drive backup, we access your Google account ID and display name solely for that purpose 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 net worth within the app
- To track income, expenses, and transfers between wallets
- To calculate balances, net worth, and visual charts accurately
- To schedule and process recurring transactions automatically or manually
- To back up and restore your data via Google Drive or local storage (if enabled)
- To manage your subscription status via RevenueCat
- To serve relevant ads via Google AdMob (free tier only)
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.
Budgetify operates entirely offline. We do not run servers that store, process, or transmit your financial data. Your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly enable a backup.
⚠️ We strongly recommend enabling Google Drive backup or saving a local backup regularly to prevent data loss from device failure or app uninstall.
Backups & Encryption
Budgetify supports two backup options, both protected with strong encryption so only the app can read your data.
Every backup file — whether saved locally or to Google Drive — is encrypted using AES-256. No third party, including us, can read the contents of your backup without the app.
Save an encrypted backup directly to your device storage at any time. Available to all users, including the free tier.
Encrypted backups are uploaded to the hidden app folder of your personal Google Drive — invisible to other apps and only accessible by Budgetify. Google's privacy policy governs this storage.
Pro subscribers can schedule automatic backups at custom intervals and configure how many backup versions to retain. Your backup history is viewable and any version can be restored at any time.
Google Services
Budgetify integrates with the following Google services, each governed by Google's Privacy Policy:
Used optionally for authentication when enabling Google Drive backup. We request only the minimum permissions needed: your account ID, display name, and Drive app folder access.
Used exclusively to read and write your encrypted 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 personalised ads. See Section 6 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 personalised 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 local or Google Drive backup to export your encrypted data 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
- 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.
