Privacy Policy

App: My Budget  ·  Developer: Herohlabs  ·  Last updated: April 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Herohlabs handles information in connection with the My Budget mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

1. Account Required

My Budget requires you to create an account to use the app. You may sign up using an email address and password or via Google Sign-In. Your account enables cloud backup, push notifications and profile management.

The following account information is collected and stored on our servers:

Email address — used for authentication and account recovery
Display name — optionally set by you in your profile
Google account ID — if you sign in with Google, we receive a unique identifier from Google to link your account

We do not collect your phone number, physical address, or payment information.

2. Cloud Backup Data

When you are signed in, your financial data is automatically backed up to our secure servers so it can be restored if you change or lose your device. This backup includes:

Transactions — your income, expense and transfer records
Wallets and budgets — your wallet configuration, balances and budget settings
Categories and preferences — your custom categories and app settings

All backup data is encrypted in transit using TLS and encrypted at rest on our servers. Your financial data is never sold, shared with advertisers, or used for any purpose other than providing the backup and restore service to you.

3. Data Also Stored Locally on Your Device

In addition to cloud backup, your data is also cached in your device's private app storage for offline access. This local copy is not accessible to other apps.

Receipt photos — stored in your app's private sandbox; not transmitted to our servers

If you uninstall the app, the local cache is permanently deleted from your device. Your cloud backup remains until you delete your account.

4. Google Sign-In

If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and a unique Google account identifier from Google's OAuth service. We use this solely to create and authenticate your My Budget account. We do not receive your Google password or access to your other Google services.

Google's handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

5. Data Collected by Google AdMob

My Budget displays ads served by Google AdMob. To serve relevant ads, Google AdMob automatically collects and processes certain data from your device, including:

Device & Advertising ID — a resettable identifier used for ad targeting
IP Address — used to determine approximate location for ad relevance
App interactions — how you interact with the app, for analytics and ad performance
Diagnostic information — crash logs and performance data

AdMob data is encrypted in transit using TLS and processed by Google under their privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

You can opt out of personalised ads via Settings > Privacy > Ads on your Android device.

6. Photos & Camera Access

The app may request access to your photo library solely to allow you to attach receipt images to expense entries. This permission is optional — you can use all core features without granting photo access. Photos you attach are saved only to your device's local storage and are never transmitted to us or any third party.

7. Push Notifications

My Budget uses push notifications to alert you about budget limits, over-budget events, and upcoming recurring transactions. To deliver notifications, we use a push notification service that receives a device token associated with your account. This token is used only to route notifications to your device and is not used for any other purpose.

You can manage or disable individual notification types within the app, or disable all notifications via your device settings at any time.

8. Children's Privacy

My Budget is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Data Deletion

You have full control over your data. You can delete it at any time by:

Deleting individual entries within the app
Clearing app data via device settings (removes local cache only)
Deleting your account — use the Delete Account page to permanently remove your account, all cloud-backed financial data and your email from our servers
Contacting us at herohlabs@gmail.com to request manual data deletion

For AdMob data, reset or delete your Android Advertising ID via Settings > Privacy > Ads.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review periodically.
