Your money,
your data.

01 What we collect

Budget AI only collects what it needs to run your budget:

• Account: your email address, display name, and a securely hashed password, handled by our authentication provider.
• Finances: the expense and income entries you add, including amount, category, description, and date.
• Preferences: your currency display and message bubble style, so they follow you to other devices.
• AI usage: the number of AI requests and tokens used each month, to enforce fair-use limits.

02 What stays on your device

Your chat conversations, attached images, monthly AI summaries, and app preferences such as notifications are stored only on your device and are never synced to our servers.

Home and Lock Screen widgets read a copy of your entries stored on your device.

03 How AI features work

When you chat, speak, or attach a receipt, the relevant message, image, or recording is sent through our secure server to OpenAI to generate a reply or transcription. Recordings are deleted from your device once transcribed.

OpenAI processes this data to provide the service under its API terms. We do not use your data to train AI models.

Before your first AI request, the app asks for your agreement to this sharing. Nothing is sent until you agree.

04 How we use your data

We use your data only to provide Budget AI: syncing your entries across devices, answering your questions, logging entries you ask for, and showing insights.

• We do not show ads.
• We do not sell or rent your data.
• We do not use third-party analytics or tracking.

05 Where your data is stored

Synced data is stored with Supabase, our cloud database provider, and protected so that only your signed-in account can read or change your entries. Data travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS).

06 Permissions

Budget AI asks for access only when you use the matching feature:

• Microphone: hold-to-talk voice entries.
• Camera and Photos: adding receipts and images to chat.
• Notifications: letting you know when a reply is ready.
• Face ID or fingerprint: confirming before you delete all chat history.

07 Your choices and rights

You can view, edit, and delete any entry in Finances. You can delete your account at any time from Budget Hub → Danger Zone → Delete Account, which permanently removes your account and all synced data. Signing out removes your data from that device.

To request a copy of your data or ask any privacy question, email us.

08 Children

Budget AI is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

09 Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above and, for significant changes, let you know in the app.
