CashFlo (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application, CashFlo.
1. Information Collection and Use
CashFlo primarily works offline and stores your financial data locally on your device. However, to support development and keep the app free, we integrate Google AdMob for in-app advertisements.
AdMob may collect certain data for ad personalization and analytics purposes. Please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy to understand how your information may be used.
2. Advertising (Google AdMob)
We use Google AdMob to serve ads within the app. Google may collect and use your device information, such as:
IP address
Device model and OS
Advertising ID
App usage data
These are used to:
Deliver personalized or non-personalized ads
Prevent fraud and abuse
Improve ad performance
You can opt out of personalized ads via your device settings:
Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization
3. Permissions
The app may request limited permissions such as:
Storage access: if you choose to manually export or back up your data
These permissions are used strictly for local functionality.
4. Data Security
Your personal finance records are stored locally on your device. We do not upload or transmit your financial data to any server. Please ensure you secure your device with a passcode or biometric lock.
5. Children’s Privacy
CashFlo is not designed for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law or app functionality. Updates will be posted here. Continued use of the app implies your acceptance of these changes.
Google Drive Data Access and Usage Policy
Our app offers an optional Backup and Restore feature that utilizes your Google Drive to ensure your personal application data is safely backed up to your own cloud storage.
1. Data Accessed and Scope Used
| Google API Service | Data Accessed | Purpose of Data Access | Scope Requested |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Sign-In | Your primary email address and basic profile information (name, profile picture). | To authenticate your identity and link your account to the backup service on your personal Google Drive. | openid, email, profile |
| Google Drive API | Application-specific data files (e.g., database backups, settings, configurations). | To securely store and restore the app’s internal data for backup purposes. | https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata |
2. How We Use and Store Your Data
- Backup Storage: When you enable the backup feature, the app securely uploads a copy of your internal data (such only the application data) to a hidden, dedicated folder within your personal Google Drive account called the Application Data Folder (using the
drive.appdatascope). - Privacy and Visibility: Data stored in this Application Data Folder is only accessible by this app. It is not visible to you in the main Google Drive interface, and no other files in your Google Drive (such as photos, documents, or general folders) can be read, modified, or accessed by our application.
- Data Control: All backup data remains under your full control within your Google Account. We do not store copies of your Google Drive data or your backup files on our own servers.
- Data Sharing: We do not share any data obtained through the Google Drive API with any third parties. Access is strictly limited to the secure backup and restore functions requested by you.
3. Revoking Access
You can revoke the app’s access to your Google Drive backup data at any time by visiting the Google Account Security settings (Third-party apps with account access) and removing this application from the list. Revoking access will prevent future backups until you sign in again.
