Privacy & Data Protection

Privacy Policy

Your financial privacy is our top priority. Learn how Expense Tracker protects your data with local-first storage.

Local-First Privacy

1. Privacy-First Design Philosophy

Expense Tracker is built with a fundamental commitment to privacy. Unlike most financial applications, we believe your financial data should remain completely under your control.

2. Data Collection and Storage

2.1 What We Don't Collect

2.2 What We Store Locally

IndexedDB

Primary storage for transactions, budgets, and app settings

LocalStorage

User preferences and temporary application state

Cache Storage

Application assets for offline functionality

Key Principle: Your financial data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it.

3. No Account Required

Expense Tracker eliminates the biggest privacy risk in financial applications: the account system.

4. Offline-First Architecture

All financial calculations, analytics, and data processing happen locally on your device.

5. Data Portability and Export

Premium users can export their data in standard CSV format. Data import is entirely user-initiated and processed locally.

6. Payment Processing

Premium upgrades are processed through Razorpay, a secure third-party payment processor.

7. Cookies and Tracking

Expense Tracker does not use analytics tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party tracking scripts.

8. Security Measures

We implement HTTPS encryption, secure browser sandboxing, Content Security Policy headers, and regular security updates.

9. Third-Party Services

We minimize third-party services to Google Fonts and Razorpay. No data analytics or advertising services are used.

10. Data Retention and Deletion

Since all data is stored locally, you have complete control over when to delete individual transactions or clear all application data.

11. Children's Privacy

Expense Tracker does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

12. International Data Transfers

Since all data is stored locally on your device, there are no international data transfers.

13. Your Privacy Rights

You have the right to access, modify, delete, and export all your data at any time.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons.

15. Contact Information

If you have questions about this privacy policy, please contact us through the application.

Our Privacy Commitment: Expense Tracker will never store your financial data on our servers, never sell your data, and never compromise your privacy for profit.
