Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 8, 2026

Our Commitment to Privacy

BudgetThrow is built with privacy as a core principle. We believe you should be able to manage your budget without sharing your bank credentials or personal financial data with third parties.

We do not require bank login credentials. All financial data you enter is yours, stored securely, and never sold to third parties.

Account Information:

  • Email address (for account creation and recovery)
  • Display name (optional, for personalization)

Financial Data You Enter:

  • Account balances you manually enter
  • Bills and expenses you create
  • Income amounts and pay schedules
  • Savings goals you set

App Usage Data:

  • Basic analytics (app opens, feature usage)
  • Crash reports to improve app stability
  • Device type and operating system version

How We Protect Your Data

Your financial data is encrypted using industry-standard encryption (AES-256). This means:

  • Your bill names and amounts are encrypted before storage
  • Data is encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL
  • We use secure cloud infrastructure (Firebase/Google Cloud)

What We Don't Do

  • We never require your bank login credentials
  • We never sell your personal data to third parties

  • Apple App Store: Payment processing for subscriptions

These services have their own privacy policies. We only share the minimum data necessary for these services to function.

  • All your financial data is permanently deleted within 30 days
