To provide budget tracking and AI receipt parsing, we collect only essential information:
Your Email Address and unique account identifier, collected solely for user authentication, account security, and data synchronization across your devices.
Expense & income amounts, dates, category tags, merchant names, and custom notes that you manually enter or confirm in the app.
Images of physical receipts or payment screenshots that you explicitly upload for automated field extraction. Images are stored securely in cloud storage tied to your account and can be deleted by you at any time.
