Privacy Policy

We believe your financial data belongs to you, and only you. Here is exactly how we handle, protect, and secure your information.

Last updated: August 2026

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide you with a seamless financial tracking experience:

Account Information: Name, email address, and profile picture (if provided) when you sign up.
Financial Data: Expenses, budgets, bills, and transaction details that you manually input into the app.
Group Data: Information about the groups you create or join, and how expenses are split among members.
Device Information: We use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send push notifications. We securely store an anonymous device token to deliver these notifications.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used strictly to make Espere work for you:

To sync your offline expenses to the cloud when you reconnect.
To accurately calculate group settlements and debts.
To send you important notifications regarding group invites or expense updates.

Zero Data Selling Policy

We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal or financial data to third-party advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else.

3. Information Sharing

Because Espere is designed for group expense splitting, some of your data is shared with other users by design:

When you add an expense to a group, all members of that group can see the expense details and who paid for it.
Your profile name and email are visible to people you invite to groups.
Outside of the groups you explicitly join, your data is completely private.

4. Data Security & Storage

We implement industry-standard encryption protocols to protect your data in transit (via HTTPS) and at rest. Because Espere utilizes an Offline-First Architecture, a local copy of your data is securely stored on your device using encrypted local databases. You are responsible for keeping your physical device secure.

5. Open Source Transparency

Espere is proudly Open Source. This means our codebase is publicly available for auditing. Any developer can inspect our code on GitHub to verify exactly how data is handled and ensure there are no hidden trackers or malicious data collection practices.

6. Your Rights & Data Export

You have total ownership of your data. At any time, you can:

Export your data: Generate high-fidelity PDF reports of all your personal and group expenses.
Delete your account: You can permanently delete your account and all associated data directly from the app settings.
