2. What Data We Collect
We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide you with a working budgeting experience:
| Data Type | What We Collect | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account Info | Email address, display name | To create and authenticate your account |
| Financial Data | Transactions, categories, budgets, account names you create | Core functionality — this is your budget data |
| Receipt Images | Photos you upload for OCR scanning | Processed by AI to extract transaction details; not stored permanently |
| App Usage | Crash reports, basic error logs | To fix bugs and improve app stability |
We do not collect your bank credentials, payment card numbers, or connect to your bank accounts directly.
3. How We Use Your Data
Your data is used exclusively to:
- Provide and maintain the Cashgaroo app
- Sync your budget data across your devices
- Process receipt images through AI to extract transaction details
- Authenticate you securely via Google or Apple sign-in

We do not use your data for advertising, sell it to third parties, or use it to train AI models.
4. Third-Party Services
Cashgaroo uses the following third-party services to operate. Each has its own privacy policy and data handling practices:

Receipt images submitted for OCR are transmitted securely and are not permanently stored on our servers after processing is complete.
