This Privacy Policy explains how Y1K Software handles information in the Expense Tracker Android application (the "App").
The App helps you track personal expenses, budgets, and reports directly on your device.

| Can you delete your financial records? | Yes, from within the App or by uninstalling the App |
Y1K Software does not receive, collect, sell, or share the information you enter in the App. The App processes expenses, categories, budgets/planner entries, notes, amounts, dates, currency/country choices, theme and default-transaction settings, and reminder settings locally on your device using Room/SQLite and Android shared preferences.
We do not require account creation, sign-in, or any personally identifiable information (name, email, phone number, etc.) to use the App.
The App uses the following Android permissions or special access:
The App does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, or location.
The App includes optional manual Backup and Restore features. When you tap "Backup", you choose a destination through Android's document picker and a ZIP copy of the local database is written there. "Restore" reads the backup file you select. The destination may be local storage, removable storage, or a cloud-backed document provider that you choose. Y1K Software does not receive or have access to these files.
Android system backup is enabled for the App. Depending on your device and Android backup settings, Android may copy eligible App data to your device backup service (for example, your Google account) or transfer it to a new device. This is controlled by Android and your account settings, not by Y1K Software. You can manage device backups in Android settings.
You may export report data as CSV or PDF. The export can contain dates, transaction types, categories, notes, and amounts. The App writes the file to the destination you select. If you choose a cloud storage provider or later share the file, that provider's or recipient's privacy practices apply. You are responsible for protecting and deleting exported files.
Financial records remain in the App until you delete them. The Clear All Data option removes expenses, categories, and budget records from the App's active local database. Some App preferences, such as theme, default-transaction choices, and reminder settings, may remain. Uninstalling the App removes its local App data, subject to Android's backup and restore behavior. Manual backups and exports are separate copies and must be deleted from their saved locations by you.
The App does not integrate third-party analytics, advertising, tracking, or crash-reporting services. It uses software libraries for charts, database access, interface components, and PDF generation; these libraries operate within the App and are not used to transmit your financial data. Android backup services and any document provider you select for a backup or export may process those copies under their own privacy policies.
The App is intended for personal finance tracking and does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 for Y1K Software. Information entered by any user remains subject to the local storage, backup, and export practices described above.
Active App data is stored in the App's private local storage. We recommend using your device's screen lock and encryption. Backup and exported files are outside the App's private storage and are protected according to the destination and provider you select. Keep sensitive exports and backups in a trusted location.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App's functionality. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
