Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Expenses Manager ("we", "our", or "the App"), provided by Smart Soaq Platform. We understand that your financial transactions and budgeting habits are sensitive and private. This Privacy Policy informs you about how our application handles information, complies with Google Play Developer Programme Policies (User Data Policy), and safeguards your privacy.

2. Information We Collect & Store Locally

When you use Expenses Manager, you may enter personal and financial records. This includes:

• Financial Transactions: Amounts, transaction types (expense or income), transaction dates, and custom notes.
• Categories: Custom expense and income categories you create.
• Preferences: Currency symbols, language preferences, and interface theme choices (dark/light mode).

3. Device Permissions & Sensitive Data

Expenses Manager follows the principle of data minimization:

• No Sensitive Permissions: The app does not request or access your contacts, camera, microphone, GPS location, or device phone status.
• Storage / Backup: If you choose to manually export your transaction records or backup reports, the app saves the file strictly to your device's local storage with your explicit action.

4. Third-Party Services, SDKs & Analytics

Our application does not integrate third-party advertising SDKs (such as AdMob), analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics), or user-profiling trackers.

We do not share, sell, rent, or monetize your information with any third parties or data brokers.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard software practices to ensure that your local records remain secure:

• Data is sandboxed within Android's secure application container, preventing other applications from accessing your transaction records.
• Production code is obfuscated with ProGuard / R8 to prevent reverse engineering and unauthorized tampering.
• No cleartext internet transmission of financial figures occurs.

7. Children's Privacy

Expenses Manager does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. The application is a general-audience financial tracking utility.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app updates or regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
