1. Introduction
Welcome to SimplifyExpenses.app! We’re glad you’re here. Our mission is to help you manage your expenses easily and securely, and we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and services (collectively, the "Service"). We’ve written this in plain language because we want you to feel confident about how we handle your data.
2. Information We Collect
Here’s what we collect when you use SimplifyExpenses.app:
- Authentication Data: When you sign in with Google OAuth, we get your email address and any info you choose to share from your Google account.
- Access Tokens: We store tokens to connect with your Google Drive and manage your expense-related files.
- Expense Data: We access PDFs or other documents in your Google Drive that you tell us to use for tracking expenses. We might extract text from these to make things easier for you.
- User Preferences: Any settings or options you pick in the app to customize your experience.
That’s it—we only collect what we need to make the Service work for you.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your info to:
- Let You In: Verify who you are so you can use the Service.
- Help You Manage Expenses: Access and organize your Google Drive files for expense tracking.
- Make It Yours: Save your settings to personalize the app.
- Improve Things: Look at how the Service is used to make it better over time.
Your data is here to help you, not to be exploited.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We don’t share your personal info with anyone outside SimplifyExpenses.app, except:
- Our Developers: The folks who build and maintain the Service might need to see your data to fix issues, provide support, or improve features. They’re under strict rules to keep your info confidential.
- Legal Stuff: If the law requires us to share something (like a court order), we’ll comply, but only when we have to.
No third-party companies, no marketing firms—just us and our team, working for you.
5. Data Security
We’ve got your back with solid security:
- Encryption: Your data is scrambled when stored or sent, so it’s tough for anyone else to read.
- Limited Access: Only our authorized team can touch your info.
No system is 100% unbreakable, but we’re doing everything we can to keep your data safe.
6. Your Rights
You’re in control. Here’s what you can do:
- See Your Data: Ask us for a copy of what we’ve got.
- Fix Mistakes: Tell us if something’s wrong, and we’ll correct it.
- Delete It: Request we remove your info (unless the law says we need to keep it).
Just reach out to us at [email protected] to make it happen.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We might tweak this policy as the Service grows. If we do, we’ll post the updated version here and change the "Effective Date" at the top. We’ll let you know about big changes, and if you keep using the Service, that means you’re okay with the updates. We’ll always aim to keep your privacy first.
