Privacy Policy — PocketFlow

Effective date: September 17, 2026
Last updated: September 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the PocketFlow mobile application (the "App", package name com.technoorstudio.pocketflow) handles information when you use it. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about the limited data the App and its third-party services process.

By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App.

1. Summary

Your financial records (transactions you enter) are stored only on your device. We do not upload, sync, or have access to them.
The App does not require you to create an account or provide any personal identifying information such as your name, email, or phone number.
The App shows ads and uses analytics and crash-reporting tools provided by Google. These tools collect limited technical and usage data as described below.
The App does not collect your location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera data.

2. Information Stored on Your Device

The following information is created and stored locally on your device only. It is never transmitted to us or to any server we control:

Transaction data — the description, amount, type (income or expense), date, and category of each entry you add.
App preferences — your selected currency, theme (light/dark/system), and whether you have completed onboarding.

This data is held in a private local database and app settings on your device. If you uninstall the App or clear its data, this information is permanently deleted. You can also delete individual transactions or clear all data from within the App.

Data export: The App lets you export your transactions to a CSV file saved in your device's Downloads folder. This file is created at your request and stored on your device. Once exported, you are responsible for how that file is handled, shared, or stored.

3. Information Collected by Third-Party Services

The App integrates the following third-party services from Google. These services may collect information automatically in accordance with their own privacy policies:

Google AdMob (advertising)

The App displays advertisements through Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). To serve and measure ads, AdMob may access your device's Advertising ID and collect information such as your device type, IP address, and general ad interaction data. This may be used to deliver personalized advertising where permitted.

Firebase Analytics (usage analytics)

The App uses Firebase Analytics to understand how the App is used — for example, which screens are viewed and which actions occur (such as changing currency or theme, exporting data, or completing onboarding). These events include counts and setting labels but do not include the content, amounts, or descriptions of your transactions. Firebase may also collect standard device and app information (such as device model, OS version, and app version) and use identifiers to distinguish devices.

Firebase Crashlytics (crash reporting)

The App uses Firebase Crashlytics to automatically report crashes and technical errors so we can improve stability. Crash reports may include device state, OS version, app version, and diagnostic information (such as the last screen viewed before a problem). This helps us diagnose issues and does not include your transaction data.

4. Device Permissions

Permission	Why it is used
`INTERNET`	Required to load advertisements and to send analytics and crash reports.
`ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`	Lets the App and the ads SDK check network connectivity.
`AD_ID` (Advertising ID)	Allows the Google Mobile Ads SDK to access the Advertising ID for ad delivery and measurement.
`WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`	Used only on Android 9 (API 28) and below to save an exported CSV file to the Downloads folder. Not requested on newer Android versions.

5. How Information Is Used

To provide the App's core features (recording and displaying your transactions locally).
To remember your preferences, such as currency and theme.
To display advertisements that support the App.
To measure usage and improve features and stability through analytics and crash reports.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. The App does not transmit your transaction data to us. Limited technical and usage data is processed by the Google services listed above, acting as our service providers. Their handling of that data is governed by Google's policies:

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the App, please contact us so we can address it.

8. Data Retention and Your Choices

Transaction data and preferences remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App.
You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of ad personalization in your device's Google settings (Settings → Google → Ads).
Data collected by Google's advertising, analytics, and crash-reporting services is retained according to Google's own retention policies.

9. Security

Your transaction data is stored in the App's private storage on your device. While we take reasonable measures to protect information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
