Steiner Budget — Privacy policy

Steiner Budget collects no personal data. It works entirely on your phone — you can turn on airplane mode and every feature keeps working. This page is the app’s privacy policy, and like the rest of this site, it contains no JavaScript, no cookies, and no trackers.

What the app collects

• Nothing. No account, no sign-in, no email required, no name.
• No analytics, no advertising SDKs, no crash-reporting services, no fingerprinting — not in the app and not in any of its dependencies.
• No telemetry of any kind reaches us. We do not know you exist, and consider that a feature.

What stays on your device

• Transactions, budgets, goals, categories, and merchant names you enter or scan.
• Receipt and bill photos your phone captures or imports — scanned on-device; there is no cloud OCR service behind the curtain.
• Backups, which are files you create on your device, in a format you can read.

The network is optional. Here is the complete list of connections.

• Currency-rate refresh (optional): if you enable it, the app fetches exchange rates for bare currency codes (e.g. EUR→USD). No money amounts, no device identifiers, no personal data is sent.
• Your own cloud storage (Pro, opt-in): when you start a backup or restore, data travels directly between your phone and the storage account you own. We never see it, hold a copy of it, or can recover it.

Uninstalling removes everything the app has ever stored on your device; there is nothing left on our servers to delete, because our servers hold nothing. That isn’t a workaround — it is the design.

Google Play Data safety

Consistent with the above, the app’s Play Data safety summary declares: no user data collected, no user data shared. During closed beta only, Google Play may share anonymized device diagnostics (crash and ANR reports) with us under Play’s own program terms; nothing is transmitted from the app for this purpose.
