What we collect
We only collect what KinSpense needs to work:
- Account details: your name, email address and how you sign in (Google or email), provided through Google Firebase Authentication.
- What you record: your accounts, transactions, categories, budgets, savings goals, and bills and reminders.
- App and device details: platform, device model, operating system and app version, whether notifications are allowed, and when your app last signed in and synced. We use these to support the app and fix problems.
- Notifications: if you allow them, a push token from Firebase Cloud Messaging and your phone's timezone, so we can send you announcements and your weekly summary at a sensible hour. You can turn each kind off in the app.
- Crash reports: when the app crashes or hits an error, a technical report (what went wrong, the app version, device model and operating system) is sent to Sentry so we can fix it. Reports are set up to leave out your name, email address and IP address, and describe the error rather than your financial records.
- Subscriptions: if you buy Premium, Google Play handles the payment and RevenueCat records which plan you have so the app can unlock it. We never see your card details.
KinSpense never asks for bank or mobile money passwords and never connects to your financial accounts.
How we use it
To run your account, back up your data and keep it in sync between your devices, show your balances, budgets and insights, send the reminders you set up, answer support requests, and keep the service secure. Bill reminders are scheduled on your phone and work without the internet.
Where it is stored
Your records are saved on your phone first, in encrypted storage, so the app works offline. When you are online they sync to your KinSpense account on our servers over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection.
KinSpense data is excluded from Android cloud backups, so it is not copied to other services.
Who can see your data
Only you, through the app. A small number of authorised staff can view account and record details to provide support and keep the service safe; they cannot change your records.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account is active. When you delete your account, it is scheduled for deletion and kept for 30 days so you can restore it by signing in. After that, we permanently delete your account and records, except anything we must keep for a limited time for security or legal reasons.
Your choices
- Edit or delete any record in the app at any time.
- Hide balances on screen, and turn notifications off in your phone's settings.
- Ask for a copy of your data or delete your account.
- Depending on where you live, you may have further rights to access, correct or restrict your data.
Children
KinSpense is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
