Overview
At MeasuredMoney, we believe your financial data is personal and should remain private. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information with transparency and respect for your privacy.
Our guiding principle is simple: Your financial data stays on your device, period. We don't collect, store, or access your financial information. This isn't just a feature, it's the foundation of how we built MeasuredMoney.
Data Collection
What We Don't Collect
MeasuredMoney does not collect, transmit, or store any of your personal financial data, including:
- Account balances or transaction history
- Budget information or spending patterns
- Savings goals or financial targets
- Category names or customizations
- Any other financial information you enter into the app
What We Do Collect
The only information we receive is:
- License Key: Used solely for app activation and validation. This does not contain any personal or financial information.
- Currency Codes: When fetching exchange rates, we send only currency codes (e.g., "USD", "EUR") to the Frankfurter API. No personal data, amounts, or transaction details are transmitted.
License Activation
Your license requires a one-time online activation when you first install the app. Once activated, no periodic validation is required, and your financial data stays entirely on your device.
What happens during activation:
- The app connects to our licensing provider, Polar, once to verify your license key and register your device.
- Your license key hash and a unique device token are sent to prevent license sharing beyond the 3-device limit.
- This is a one-time process—after activation, the app works offline.
What we don't do:
- We do not track which features you use
- We do not monitor when you use the app
- We do not collect any financial information
Device limit: Each license can be activated on up to 3 devices. The device identifier cannot be used to track your location or identify you personally.
Privacy-first approach: This one-time activation allows us to offer a privacy-focused product while ensuring fair use of licenses.
Email Communication
We only contact you regarding your license or if you initiate support.
MeasuredMoney: We use your email address solely to deliver your license key, product updates and respond to support requests. We do not store purchase history or billing information.
Polar (Payment Processor): As the merchant of record, Polar retains your email and purchase details in accordance with their privacy policy for billing and tax purposes.
Data Storage
Local-First Architecture
All your financial data is stored exclusively in a local SQLite database on your device. This means:
- Your financial data never leaves your computer
- No cloud servers store your financial information
- No remote access to your financial records
- Complete data ownership, 100% yours
Licensing
MeasuredMoney uses a local-first architecture where your financial data never leaves your device. The app requires no login or account to use your financial data.
For licensing, a one-time purchase provides a license key delivered via email. License management (activating devices, transfers) is handled separately through our payment provider Polar.sh as a merchant of records. This licensing system is completely separate from your financial data and does not require ongoing login to use the app.
Your Data Rights
Since all your data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control:
- Access: Your data is always accessible to you on your device
- Export: You can export your data anytime anyway you wish
- Deletion: Uninstalling the app provides you option to remove all data from your device
- Portability: Your data is yours to move, backup, or transfer as you see fit
Third-Party Services
Polar (License Management)
We use Polar as our licensing provider for license validation and payment processing. When validating your license:
- Only your license key hash and device token are sent
- No financial data or personal information is transmitted
- Polar acts as the merchant of record for billing and tax compliance
- View Polar's Privacy Policy
Frankfurter API (Currency Conversion)
For currency conversion features, we use the Frankfurter API, a free and open-source service. When converting currencies:
- Only currency codes are sent (e.g., "USD", "EUR", "INR")
- No personal data, transaction amounts, or financial information is transmitted
- No API key is required
- The service is transparent and publicly documented at https://frankfurter.dev/
No Analytics or Tracking
MeasuredMoney does not use any analytics tools, tracking pixels, or telemetry systems for your financial data. We don't monitor how you use the app's features, we don't track your transactions, and we don't collect usage statistics about your finances. Your financial habits remain entirely private. Disadvantage is we also do not know if a bug occured in your app or the app crashed. In that case please reach out to us at support@measuredmoney.com
No Third-Party Sharing of Financial Data
We do not sell, rent, or share any financial information with third parties. Your financial data never leaves your device.
Your Rights
Because MeasuredMoney stores all financial data locally, you maintain complete control:
- Right to Access: All your data is available on your device at all times
- Right to Rectification: You can edit or modify any of your financial data within the app that you have recorded
- Right to Erasure: Uninstall the app to delete all data from your device
- Right to Data Portability: Export your data to CSV format anytime
- Right to Object: No tracking of financial data means nothing to object to
Security
While your data is stored locally, we recommend following standard security practices for your device:
- Use a strong password or biometric lock on your computer
- Keep your operating system and MeasuredMoney app updated
- Regularly back up your device to prevent data loss
- Be cautious when sharing your device with others
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Since MeasuredMoney operates on a local-first model, significant changes to how we handle data would require app updates that you control.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.
