Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 2025

Our Privacy Commitment

At SpendVox, privacy isn't just a feature—it's our foundation. We built SpendVox with one core principle: your financial data belongs to you and only you. This privacy policy explains how we honor that commitment.

1. Information We Don't Collect

SpendVox is designed to work entirely on your device. This means:

  • • We do not collect your financial transactions, budget data, or any expense information
  • • We do not store your data on our servers or in any cloud service
  • • We do not track your usage patterns, behavior, or analytics
  • • We do not collect your location data
  • • We do not access your contacts, photos (except when you explicitly scan a receipt), or other personal information
  • • We do not use cookies or tracking technologies

2. How Your Data is Stored

All your financial data is stored locally on your device using encrypted storage:

  • • Your transactions, budgets, and categories are saved only on your iPhone or Android device
  • • Receipt images are stored locally and never uploaded to any server
  • • We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data on your device
  • • Your data is protected by your device's security features (passcode, biometric authentication)
  • • If you delete the app, all your data is permanently removed from your device

3. Receipt Scanning

When you use the receipt scanning feature:

  • • Photos are processed entirely on your device using on-device OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
  • • Receipt images never leave your device
  • • Extracted data is stored locally with your other transaction information
  • • You can delete receipt images at any time

4. Third-Party Services

SpendVox does not integrate with any third-party services that have access to your financial data. We do not use:

  • • Analytics services (Google Analytics, Firebase, etc.)
  • • Advertising networks
  • • Social media integrations
  • • Cloud sync services
  • • Crash reporting tools that transmit your data

5. App Store Information

When you download SpendVox from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store:

  • • Apple and Google may collect basic information about the download (this is standard for all apps)
  • • We do not receive personally identifiable information from these downloads
  • • In-app purchases (if any) are processed entirely by Apple or Google; we do not handle payment information

6. Email Communications

If you sign up for launch notifications or updates:

  • • We only collect your email address
  • • Your email is used solely to send you updates about SpendVox
  • • You can unsubscribe at any time
  • • We do not share your email with third parties
  • • We do not link your email to any in-app usage data (because we don't collect usage data)

7. Children's Privacy

SpendVox is designed for users 13 years and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used our app, please contact us immediately.

8. Data Backups

Your device may automatically back up app data to iCloud (iOS) or Google Drive (Android) as part of your device's backup feature:

  • • These backups are encrypted and controlled by Apple or Google, not by us
  • • You can disable app backups in your device settings if you prefer
  • • We do not have access to these backups

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We will never change our core commitment to privacy: your data stays on your device.

10. Your Rights

Because all your data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control:

  • • You can export your data at any time from within the app
  • • You can delete all your data by deleting the app
  • • You own your data completely—no requests to us are needed

Our Promise

We built SpendVox because we believe your financial privacy matters. We will never compromise this commitment. Your data stays on your device, period.
