This policy explains what data the Despesas. Simples! app (the app) processes and why. The controller is Emanuel Gomes, who can be reached at suporte@despesasapp.com.
The expenses, categories, reminders and settings you enter are stored on your phone. If you never sign in or make a backup, the content of your expenses never leaves the device.
Signing in is optional and uses your Google account, through Firebase Authentication. We keep your email, name and account identifier to authenticate you and tie your data to your account.
When you make a backup or turn on sync (Premium plan), your expenses (description, amount, date, payment status, category, notes and reminder date) and your categories are stored in Cloud Firestore, a Google service, linked to your account. Access rules let only you read and write that data.
The paid plans (Base and Premium) are one-time purchases processed by Google Play. We never have access to your card or payment details. To know which plan you have and to restore purchases, we use the RevenueCat service, which receives an anonymous app identifier and the status of your purchases. The app may contact RevenueCat when it opens, even if you buy nothing.
Reminders are optional and are scheduled on the phone itself, without sending data out. You can turn them off in the app or phone settings.
We use Google (Firebase and Google Play) and RevenueCat as service providers; they process data on our behalf and only to run the app. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising, and the app includes no advertising or usage analytics tools. Communication with these services uses encrypted connections.
In the app, under Settings → Account and backup → Delete account and cloud data, you delete your account and the data stored in the cloud. Expenses stored on the phone are not removed: they disappear if you uninstall the app or delete them in it. You can also request account deletion by email to suporte@despesasapp.com, from your account's address.
Purchase records may be kept by Google Play and RevenueCat for as long as their policies and legal obligations require.
You can request access, rectification, deletion or portability of your data, and object to its processing, by writing to the contact below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, the Portuguese National Data Protection Commission (cnpd.pt).
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
