Family Budget Privacy Policy
Family Budget is published by LilGenius Labs. This Privacy Policy explains how Family Budget handles information when you use the app.
Summary
Family Budget can be used in free local mode without creating an account. In local mode, your household budget and expense data stays on your device and is not sent to LilGenius Labs.
The app also includes an optional sign-in path for family cloud sync. If you choose to sign in, account and budget data may be sent to our backend service provider so the app can provide account, sync, and sharing features.
Information handled by the app
Free local mode
If you choose free local mode, the app stores the following information on your device only:
- Household name
- Budget category names and budget amounts
- Expense amounts, dates, categories, and optional remarks
- App mode/settings needed for the app to work
This local data is stored on your device using Android encrypted storage. It is not transmitted to LilGenius Labs in free local mode.
Optional cloud sign-in mode
If you choose to sign in for cloud sync, the app may process:
- Email address
- Authentication user ID and session tokens
- Household name
- Budget category names and budget amounts
- Expense amounts, dates, categories, and optional remarks
- Household invitation email addresses, if you invite another household member
This data is used only to provide app functionality such as account access, household budgets, expense tracking, and optional family sharing/cloud sync.
Permissions
Family Budget requests internet access so optional cloud sign-in and sync features can communicate with the backend. Free local mode can be used without signing in.
Ads and analytics
Family Budget does not contain ads. The current app does not include third-party advertising SDKs or analytics SDKs.
Sharing of information
LilGenius Labs does not sell your personal information and does not share it for advertising.
If you use optional cloud features, data may be processed by backend infrastructure providers that help operate the app. These providers process data only to provide the app service.
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the security and integrity of the app.
Security
Family Budget uses HTTPS for network communication and Android encrypted storage for local sensitive app data. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we use reasonable safeguards appropriate for a lightweight household budgeting app.
Data deletion
In free local mode, you can delete local app data inside the app from Settings by choosing Delete Local Data. You can also remove app data by uninstalling the app or clearing the app's storage from Android settings.
For optional cloud/account deletion, use the public Family Budget deletion request pages below. Please contact us from the email address associated with your Family Budget account so we can identify the account or cloud data to delete.
Children
Family Budget is not designed for children and is intended for adults managing household budgets.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the policy date and publish the updated version.
