This Privacy Policy describes how FlowsApp (“we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the FLOW$ mobile application (the “App”).
By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1. Information you provide
If you choose to create an account for cloud sync, we collect:
- Email address — used for account authentication via Firebase Authentication.
- Password — stored securely as a hash by Firebase. We do not have access to your password in plain text.
You can use the App without creating an account. In that case, no personal information is collected.
1.2. Budget data
If you sign in for cloud sync, your budget data (income, expenses, fund balances, transaction history, custom tab names, notepad text) is stored in Google Firestore under your account, so it can be restored across devices.
If you do not sign in, all budget data stays only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
When you contact support from within the app, a diagnostic snapshot (app version, install date on this device, device model, OS version, language, currency, and your Pro subscription status) is also stored under your account in Firestore so we can respond to your ticket effectively. The snapshot is overwritten each time you submit a new request and is only sent when you tap “Send” — it is never collected automatically.
1.3. Purchase information
When you purchase a Pro subscription, the transaction is processed by Google Play Billing. We do not see or store your payment details (credit card, billing address). We only receive a confirmation that a valid subscription exists for your Google account.
1.4. Information collected automatically
The App does not collect analytics or advertising data. We do not use your usage data, device identifiers, IP addresses, location, contacts, or installed apps for analytics, advertising, or tracking purposes.
The App does not use cookies.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect only to:
- Provide and maintain the App’s functionality (authentication, cloud sync).
- Process and verify Pro subscription purchases.
- Respond to support requests you send to our email. If you contact support while signed in, we read the diagnostic snapshot stored under your account; if you are signed out, the same diagnostics (excluding Pro subscription status) are included in the email body so we can investigate.
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any other purpose. We do not sell your information to third parties.
3. Data Sharing
We share data only with the following service providers, strictly for the purposes described above:
- Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore) — to authenticate your account and store your budget data. See Firebase Privacy.
- Google Play Billing — to process subscription purchases. See Google Play Privacy.
We do not share data with any other third party.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
- Local data is stored on your device until you uninstall the App or clear its data from Android settings.
- Cloud data is retained while your account exists. You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Account → Delete Account. This permanently removes your authentication record and all budget data associated with your account from Firestore.
- You can also request account deletion by emailing flowsapp.dev@gmail.com from the email address associated with your account. We will process the request within 30 days.
5. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access the data we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion of your data.
- Withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise these rights, contact us at flowsapp.dev@gmail.com.
6. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
7. Security
We rely on Google Firebase’s security infrastructure (TLS in transit, AES encryption at rest) to protect your data. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. International Data Transfers
Firebase services may store data on servers located in the United States or other countries. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. If changes are material, we will prompt you to review and accept the new policy when you next open the App.
