Google OAuth Verification Statement

"This application uses Google Drive API to store and restore user backup data. The data is stored in the user's private Google Drive AppData folder which is only accessible by the application. The app only accesses files created by the application and cannot view or access other files in the user's Google Drive."

Introduction

Our privacy policy will help you understand what information we collect at Apex - Daily Expense Tracker, how we use it, and what choices you have. Apex - Daily Expense Tracker built the app as a free service provided at no cost and intended for use as is.

If you choose to use our Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation with this policy. The Personal Information that we collect is used for providing and improving the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Use

For a better experience while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to username, email address, gender, location, and pictures (for receipt attachments). The information that we request will be retained by us and used as described in this privacy policy.

Apex is primarily an offline-first app. Your financial data is stored locally on your device unless you enable Google Drive backup.

Google Drive API Usage

Apex Expense Tracker allows users to securely backup and restore their financial data using the Google Drive API.

  • Private AppData folder: Backups are stored in the user's private Google Drive AppData folder (`drive.appdata` scope). This folder is hidden and inaccessible to other applications or directly through the Google Drive web interface.
  • Restricted Access: The application only accesses its own backup data and never reads or modifies unrelated files in your Google Drive.
  • Data Ownership: Your financial data belongs to you. We use Google's secure infrastructure to store your backups, but we never "own" or "process" that data on our own servers.

Cookies

Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. This Service does not use these "cookies" explicitly. However, the app may use third-party code and libraries that use "cookies" to collect information and to improve their services.

Location Information

Some features may use location information transmitted from users' mobile phones. We only use this information within the scope necessary for the designated service (e.g., tagging transactions with location).

Device Information

We collect information from your device in some cases to provide better service and prevent fraudulent acts. This information does not identify the individual user.

Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, provide the Service on our behalf, or assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Security

We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable.

Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If we discover a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted.
