Privacy Policy

What information the app stores

Budget Meter stores everything you enter — your income and expense records, category names, budget limits, and your Urdu/English language choice — in a local database on your own device only (using standard on‑device storage, SQLite and AsyncStorage). None of it is transmitted anywhere.

What the app does not do

• It does not send any data to us, to the developer, or to any third party — the app makes no network or internet requests of any kind.
• It does not use analytics, crash reporting, or advertising SDKs.
• It does not require or use an account, login, email address, or phone number.
• It does not access your contacts, location, camera, microphone, or SMS messages.
• It does not share, sell, or rent any information, because none is ever collected in the first place.

Where your data lives, and how to remove it

Your entries stay in the app's private storage area on your device, governed by your operating system's normal app sandboxing. You can delete individual transactions or categories at any time from within the app. Uninstalling Budget Meter permanently deletes all of its stored data along with it — we have no copy to retain, because we never received one.

Children's privacy

Budget Meter does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect information at all. The app is a general-purpose household budgeting tool and is not directed specifically at children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes — for example, if a future version adds an optional cloud backup feature — this page will be updated and the "effective" date above will change accordingly. Any such feature would be opt-in and clearly disclosed before it collects anything.
