Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 29, 2026

Budget Buddy (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using the app.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information generated through your use of the app, including:

• Account details: name, email address, and authentication method (Google login or email/password). Passwords are stored only as secure hashes.
• Budget data: income and expense entries, categories, sources, savings, transfers, recurring items, notes, and member information you add.
• Bank statement imports (Pro): uploaded files and the parsed rows/mappings needed to process your imports.
• Usage and device data: basic technical data such as browser type, device, IP address, and pages/actions used for performance and security.
• Support communications: messages you send through contact forms or email.

About Your Budget Data

The budget data you enter can be real or fictional — you control the content. We store and process it as you provide it. If the data relates to you or your household, it may still be personal data under privacy laws, and we protect it accordingly.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and operate the Budget Buddy service.
• Secure your account and prevent abuse.
• Process imports and generate summaries, charts, and insights.
• Respond to support requests.
• Measure performance and improve the app (with analytics cookies, only if you consent).

Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored securely and is accessible only to you and authorized personnel as needed to operate the service. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to deliver Budget Buddy, such as authentication providers (Google login), payment processing (for Pro subscriptions), analytics, and hosting. These providers only receive the data required to perform their services and must protect it under their own privacy policies.

Cookies & Analytics

We use cookies to remember your preferences and to measure site performance. Google Analytics is only enabled if you consent to analytics cookies. You can accept or reject analytics cookies via the cookie banner.

Data Retention

We keep your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. If you delete your account, we will remove or anonymize your data within a reasonable period, subject to legal or operational requirements (e.g., backups or accounting records).

Your Rights

You may request access, correction, export, or deletion of your personal data, and you can withdraw analytics consent at any time. To exercise your rights, contact us at the email below.
