1. Who we are and scope
AMT Technologies ("AMT Technologies", "we", "us" or "our") develops and publishes BudgetCare, a personal budgeting and expense-management application. This Privacy Policy applies to the BudgetCare Android app, the website at amttech.in, and support or account-deletion communications sent to us.
2. Information we process
Account and authentication information
BudgetCare requires authentication. When you use email/password or Google Sign-In, Firebase Authentication may process your email address, display name, profile image, authentication-provider identifier, Firebase user ID and security-related technical information such as IP address and device/browser information. Passwords are handled by Firebase Authentication; AMT Technologies does not receive or store your password in the app’s financial database.
Financial and budgeting information stored locally
The app stores information you provide or import, including transaction amount, merchant or narration, date and time, category, notes, income sources, budgets, currency, review status, merchant categorisation rules and a duplicate-detection reference. This data is associated with the signed-in account only within a separate local database on that device.
Statement import
When you deliberately choose a supported PDF, Excel or CSV statement, BudgetCare reads it on your device to extract transactions. The original file is not uploaded to AMT Technologies. Extracted transaction fields and relevant source text may remain in the local database so you can review and correct the import. We do not access files you have not selected.
Voice input
If you use voice expense entry, BudgetCare requests microphone access and invokes the speech-recognition service available on your Android device. Depending on your device and recognition provider, audio or a transcript may be processed by that provider under its own privacy terms. BudgetCare receives the recognised text; it does not retain an audio recording. You can deny microphone permission and continue using manual entry.
Subscriptions and purchases
Google Play processes subscription purchases and payment details. BudgetCare receives product, purchase-status, transaction and entitlement information needed to activate or restore access. We do not receive your full card or bank-account details.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, BudgetCare may show local expense confirmations and spending reminders. Notification permission and delivery are managed by Android. Notification content is generated from information already available to the app.
Support and deletion requests
If you contact us, we process the email address and information included in your message so we can respond, verify your request and maintain a reasonable support record.
Website data
This static website does not currently use advertising cookies, analytics trackers, account login or behavioural profiling. Our hosting provider may retain standard server logs such as IP address, request time, requested URL, user agent and security events for operation and abuse prevention.
3. Why we use information
| Purpose | Information involved |
|---|---|
| Authenticate and secure your account | Account identifiers and authentication/security data |
| Provide budgeting features | Locally stored expenses, budgets, categories, income and rules |
| Import and review statements | User-selected file contents and extracted transaction fields, processed locally |
| Provide paid access | Google Play product, purchase and entitlement status |
| Respond to support and deletion requests | Contact details and request content |
| Protect and operate the website | Limited server and security logs |
Where applicable, we rely on performance of our agreement with you, your consent for optional permissions, our legitimate interests in security and support, and compliance with legal obligations.
5. Storage and retention
- Local financial data: remains on the device until you delete it, delete your BudgetCare account through the app, clear app storage or uninstall the app. Uninstalling normally removes app data from that device. Export anything you wish to retain first.
- Authentication account: remains in Firebase Authentication until account deletion, subject to limited security logs and provider retention requirements.
- Purchase records: are retained by Google Play according to Google’s legal, financial and platform requirements.
- Support/deletion communications: are retained only as reasonably necessary to complete the request, document the outcome, prevent abuse and meet legal requirements.
- Hosting logs: may be retained for a limited operational and security period determined by our hosting configuration and provider.
Where information must be retained for fraud prevention, dispute resolution, tax, accounting or legal compliance, we isolate it from ordinary product use and retain only what is necessary.
6. Your controls and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, request portability, or withdraw consent. You can:
- Edit or delete financial entries inside BudgetCare.
- Disable microphone and notification permissions in Android settings.
- Export reports before deleting local data.
- Delete your account from More → Account & Subscription → Delete account.
- Request deletion outside the app using our account-deletion page.
- Manage or cancel a subscription in Google Play. Account deletion does not automatically cancel a Google Play subscription.
We may ask for reasonable verification before acting on a request. Because AMT Technologies does not hold a cloud copy of your local financial ledger, we cannot remotely retrieve or export that ledger after the app has been removed.
7. Security
We use platform authentication, per-user local databases, HTTPS for web access and reasonable administrative safeguards. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. Keep your device, Google Account and email account protected with a strong screen lock and multi-factor authentication.
8. Children
BudgetCare is a general personal-finance utility and is not directed to children under 13 or the minimum digital-consent age in their country. We do not knowingly solicit children’s personal information. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided information may contact us.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when BudgetCare’s features, service providers or legal obligations change. The revised page will show a new “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated through the app or another appropriate channel.
