Bucktrack ("we", "our", "the app") is an expense tracking application developed by Bucktrack. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.
When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from your Google account. This is used to create your Bucktrack profile and identify you to friends and group members.
The app collects expense data including amounts, merchant names, categories, and currencies. This data is entered manually by you or extracted from bank notifications (with your explicit permission).
If you grant notification access, Bucktrack reads notifications from banking apps you select in Settings. The notification text is sent to our server for AI-powered parsing to extract the merchant name, amount, category, and currency. We do not read notifications from non-selected apps. The raw notification text is processed in real-time and is not stored on our servers.
When you create groups or add friends, we store group names, member lists, shared expenses, settlements, and balances. Friends are added by email address with mutual consent.
You may optionally upload a profile photo and group photos. These are stored securely in Firebase Storage.
We collect your device's push notification token (FCM token) to send you notifications about group activity, friend expenses, settlements, and budget alerts. We do not collect advertising IDs or location data.
We use Firebase Analytics and Firebase Performance Monitoring to understand how the app is used and to identify performance issues. This may include anonymous usage data such as screen views, app open events, session duration, device model, OS version, and app performance metrics (startup time, network latency). This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally. We also use Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash reports, which may include device state and stack traces, to help us fix bugs.
Bank notification text is sent to Google Gemini (AI) via Firebase Cloud Functions for parsing. Expense descriptions may also be sent to Google Gemini via Firebase AI Logic for category suggestions. This processing happens on Google's servers in the EU (europe-west1 region). The AI does not store or learn from your data — each request is processed independently.
Your data is stored in Firebase (Google Cloud Platform) with the following security measures:
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. Your data is shared only in these limited cases:
Your data is retained as long as your account is active. You can delete individual expenses, groups, and friend connections at any time from within the app. To delete your entire account and all associated data, contact us at the email below.
If you are in the European Union, you have the right to:
Bucktrack is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.
Bucktrack uses Android's NotificationListenerService to read bank notifications. This permission is optional and must be explicitly granted by you. You select which banking apps to monitor in Settings. We only read notifications from apps you select — all other notifications are ignored. You can revoke this permission at any time in your device's notification settings.
Bucktrack offers optional premium subscriptions (monthly and annual) through Google Play Billing. Subscription management and payments are handled entirely by Google Play. We do not collect or store payment information.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
