Privacy Policy

Introduction

Trackwallet ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application ("App"). The App is developed and maintained by Augustinas Abromavičius, an independent developer based in Lithuania.

By using Trackwallet, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

When you use Trackwallet, you manually enter financial information including:

• Transaction details (amounts, dates, descriptions, categories, merchant names)
• Account information (account names, balances, types)
• Budget data (budget amounts, categories, time periods)
• Subscription and recurring payment information
• Notes and custom categories
• Currency preferences
• Email address (only if you choose to create an optional account for backup purposes)

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

To provide and improve our services, we automatically collect certain information through third-party services:

• Firebase Analytics: Usage patterns, app interactions, session duration, device information (model, operating system version), and general location data (country/region level)
• Firebase Crashlytics: Crash reports, device state information, app version, and technical diagnostic data
• Google Play Services: Basic device and app interaction data as required for app functionality

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• App Functionality: To provide core money management features including expense tracking, budget management, and financial reporting
• Optional Cloud Backup: To enable backup and restore functionality if you create an account (your financial data is only uploaded if you explicitly choose to back it up)
• Authentication: To verify your identity when you use the optional account feature
• App Improvement: To analyze app usage patterns, identify bugs, fix crashes, and improve user experience
• Technical Support: To respond to your support requests and troubleshoot issues

3. Data Storage and Security

3.1 Local Storage (Primary)

Your financial data is stored locally on your device by default. The App is designed to work completely offline, and your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to use the optional cloud backup feature. Local data is protected by Android's built-in security mechanisms, including device encryption (on non-rooted devices).

3.2 Optional Cloud Storage

If you create an account and choose to back up your data:

• Backups are stored in Firebase Storage (Google Cloud infrastructure)
• Data is transmitted over secure HTTPS connections
• You control when backups occur
• You can restore your data on a new device by logging into your account

3.3 Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security measures including:

• Encryption of data in transit using HTTPS/TLS protocols
• Encryption of local data using Android's security features
• Firebase Authentication for secure account access

However, please note that no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. Third-Party Services

Trackwallet uses the following third-party services that may collect information:

• Google Play Services: Privacy Policy
• Google Analytics for Firebase: Privacy Policy
• Firebase Crashlytics: Privacy Policy
• Firebase Authentication: Privacy Policy
• Firebase Storage: Privacy Policy

These services operate independently and have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their privacy practices. We do not use advertising services or sell your data to third parties.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Your financial data remains private and is only shared in the following limited circumstances:

• With Your Consent: We may share information if you explicitly authorize us to do so
• Service Providers: Firebase services process data on our behalf to provide app functionality (analytics, crash reporting, authentication, storage)
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request
• Safety and Security: We may share information to protect the rights, property, or the public

Note: Firebase services may collect and process certain technical and usage data as described in their privacy policies. This data is used for analytics and app improvement purposes.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your data:

Upon deletion, your account and all associated cloud backup data are permanently deleted immediately. Local data on your device must be deleted manually by uninstalling the App or clearing app data.

6.3 App Permissions

The App requests the following optional permissions:

You can manage these permissions in your device settings at any time.

8. Children's Privacy

Trackwallet is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in their jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at contact@trackwallet.app, and we will delete such information from our systems.

9. International Data Transfers

Trackwallet is available worldwide. If you use the optional cloud backup feature, your data may be transferred to and stored on servers located in different countries, including those operated by Firebase (Google Cloud). We are based in Lithuania (European Union), but Firebase infrastructure may process data globally.

By using the App and cloud backup features, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection laws. We ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place through our use of Google Cloud infrastructure, which complies with international data protection standards.
