Privacy Policy

Introduction

Munshi ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use the Munshi mobile application (the "App").

TL;DR: Munshi is designed with privacy as a core principle. All your financial data stays on your device. We don't collect, store, or share any of your personal or financial information.

Data Storage and Privacy

Local-Only Data Storage

All your expense data, transactions, categories, and any other information you enter into Munshi is stored exclusively on your device. We do not:

• Upload your data to any server or cloud service
• Transmit your financial information over the internet
• Share your data with any third parties
• Use your data for analytics, advertising, or any other purpose

Information We Don't Collect

Munshi does not collect any personal information, including but not limited to:

• Name, email address, or contact information
• Financial account details or credentials
• Transaction data or expense records
• Location data
• Device identifiers or advertising IDs
• Usage analytics or behavioral data

Third-Party Services

Munshi does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services. The App functions entirely offline and does not require an internet connection for core functionality.

Data Backup and Export

If you choose to backup or export your data, you have full control over where this data goes. Any backup or export functionality stores data in locations you specify (such as your device's local storage or cloud storage services you control). We do not have access to this data.

Open Source Transparency

Munshi is an open-source project. You can review our source code at any time to verify our privacy practices:

Permissions

The App may request certain device permissions to provide its functionality:

• Storage: To save your expense data locally on your device
• Camera (optional): To scan receipts if you choose to use this feature

These permissions are used solely for the stated purposes and no data accessed through these permissions leaves your device.

Children's Privacy

Munshi does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since we don't collect any data at all, the App is safe for users of all ages.

Data Security

Your data's security is inherently protected by the fact that it never leaves your device. You are responsible for securing your device using appropriate measures like device lock screens, encryption, and other security features provided by your operating system.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Since we don't collect your information, we have no way to notify you of changes directly. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

Your Rights

Since Munshi doesn't collect or store any of your data on our servers, concepts like data access, correction, or deletion requests don't apply in the traditional sense. You have complete control over your data at all times because it's stored only on your device. You can:

• View all your data within the App
• Export your data at any time
• Delete the App and all associated data by uninstalling it from your device
