Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

PocketBudee is a personal finance and lifestyle management web application operated by NexSynix. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle your information when you use our website and services at pocketbudee.vercel.app.

2. Information We Collect

• Google Sign-In Data: When you sign in using Google OAuth, we collect only your Google profile name, email address, and profile image (if available).
• Usage Data: We may collect limited, non-identifiable usage data (such as analytics logs) to improve our app performance and experience.
• Financial Entries: Any account, transaction, budget, or goal data you create within the app stays securely stored in your account and is never shared externally.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To create and maintain your account.
• To enable secure authentication and manage sessions.
• To provide personalized features such as budgets, analytics, and exports.
• To respond to feedback or support requests (if you choose to contact us).

4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Services

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. Your account data is never used for marketing or shared with any third party.

The only third-party service we use is Shapo.io — a platform that hosts our optional review widget. If you choose to leave a review or testimonial, Shapo.io may ask for your email directly. That information is processed by Shapo.io and not PocketBudee.

For details, please review Shapo.io’s policies:

• Shapo.io Privacy Policy
• Shapo.io Terms of Service

5. Cookies & Authentication

PocketBudee uses secure session cookies to keep your account authenticated and to ensure only you can access your data. These cookies are essential for login and session continuity, and cannot be used for tracking or advertising.

6. Data Retention & Export

Your personal and financial data remains stored as long as your account is active. You can export your information anytime as CSV or PDF for backup.

If you delete your account or request removal, all associated data may be permanently deleted within a reasonable time, except where retention is required for legal or technical reasons.

7. Data Security

We use modern security measures and rely on Google OAuth and Tech infrastructure to protect your account. However, no online service is 100% secure — please maintain the security of your Google account to prevent unauthorized access.

8. Your Rights & Choices

• You can view, export, or delete your account data at any time.
• You can request deletion or any other help by contacting our support team.
• You may opt not to provide personal data, though this may limit certain features.

9. Updates to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. If changes are material, we’ll notify users via email or in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
