Section 01: Introduction
Welcome to Wealtie. We believe you have a right to know exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and who we share it with. This Privacy Policy is written to be honest and complete. We are not hiding anything.
Wealtie is a product of Polo Development LLC, a company registered in Wyoming, United States ("we", "us"). Polo Development LLC is the controller responsible for the personal data described in this Privacy Policy.
Wealtie is a personal finance management mobile application that lets you manually track your income, expenses, accounts, budgets, and financial goals. We do not connect to your real bank accounts, we do not initiate real financial transactions, and we do not provide financial advice.
By using our Service, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. If you have questions, email us at [email protected].

- Financial goals you selected: e.g., "save for a house", "build an emergency fund", "pay off debt"
- How you found Wealtie: e.g., "social media", "app store search", "friend recommendation"
- Recently installed apps on your device: a list of apps detected on your phone at the time of onboarding, used for personalization
The list of recently installed apps is collected once during onboarding only and is not updated after that.

All financial data in Wealtie is entered manually by you. We store everything you input:
- Transactions: amount, currency, category, account, date, and optional description for every income and expense you log
- Accounts: account name, currency, balance, and icon (e.g., "Savings Wallet", "Cash")

- Goals: goal name, target amount, period, current progress, and per-category progress
- Recurring transactions: amount, currency, frequency, start/end dates, and description for each scheduled transaction
- Transfers between accounts: amounts, currencies, and the exchange rate applied at transfer time
Section 2.4: OAuth Login Data (Google, Apple)
If you sign in using Google or Apple, we receive and store the following from that provider:
- Your unique user ID at that provider
- Your email address
- Your first and last name
- Your profile picture URL (if provided by the provider)

The OAuth tokens are stored in our database associated with your account. They are used to support your authentication session.

Section 2.6: Usage Analytics
We collect usage analytics to understand how the app is used and improve it, only if you allow it. The first time you open the app we ask whether you want to share usage analytics; until you choose "Allow", nothing is sent. You can change your choice at any time in Profile Settings โ Privacy & Security โ Share usage analytics.
If you allow it, we collect how you use the app's features and screens, onboarding progress, and errors you encounter, together with your user ID, email, name, app version, plan, country, and language.
Section 2.7: Crash & Error Reporting
We use a crash reporting provider to find and fix errors. When a crash or error occurs, the following is sent to it:
- Your user ID and email address
- The full error stack trace
- Device model, OS version, and app version

We track in-app engagement to power gamification features:
- Streaks: the number of consecutive days you have logged activity in the app
- Milestones: achievement thresholds you have reached (e.g., first transaction logged, 100 transactions logged)
Section 2.11: Blog Page Views
When you read a post on our blog, we count the view without cookies and without storing anything that identifies you. We keep only daily totals per post: the country (as reported by our network provider, Cloudflare, from your connection), the kind of site that sent you (for example a search engine or social network, by its domain name only) and whether you're on a phone, tablet or computer. Your IP address, browser details and the full address of the page you came from are not stored.

Section 04: Third-Party Services
We integrate with the following third-party services. Each of them receives certain data about you as described below. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Section 4.1: Error Monitoring
What we send: Crash reports, error stack traces, your user ID, your email address, device info, app version, and pre-crash action breadcrumbs.
Crash data is processed in the EU. Your email address and user ID are included in error reports to help us identify and reproduce issues.
Section 4.2: Product Analytics
What we send: Only if you allow usage analytics: how you use the app and the account details listed under Usage Analytics. We do not record your screen.
Section 4.3: Subscription Management
What we send: Subscription purchase queries and your subscription customer ID. Our subscription management provider receives payment events from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store on our behalf and verifies in-app purchases. We store the customer ID and subscription lifecycle events in our database.
Section 4.4: Push Notifications
What we send: Your push token and the notification content (title, body). Our push notification provider delivers them through Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) on our behalf.
Section 4.5: Google and Apple: Authentication
When you authenticate via Google or Apple, you interact with their login flow. We receive an identity token and basic profile data (name, email, profile picture URL) from the provider. The OAuth tokens are stored in our database.
Your use of these login flows is also governed by the respective privacy policies of Google and Apple.
Section 4.6: Exchange Rate API: Currency Conversion
We use an external exchange rate API to fetch current currency exchange rates. No personal user data is sent to this service, only currency code lookups.
Section 4.7: SMTP Email Provider: Transactional Emails
We send transactional emails (verification codes, password reset codes, welcome emails) via SMTP. Your email address and the content of the email (including the verification/reset code) are sent through this channel. If you subscribe to the blog newsletter, its confirmation email and the weekly emails are sent the same way.
Section 05: Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We do not sell your financial data. We do not access your device's advertising identifier, show ads, or share your data for third-party advertising.
We share your information only in these circumstances:
- Service Providers: As described in the Third-Party Services section above (crash reporting, analytics, subscription management, push notifications, exchange rates, and email delivery). These providers process data on our behalf under contractual data processing agreements.
- OAuth Providers: When you choose to authenticate via Google or Apple, your interaction with those services is governed by their own privacy policies.
- App Stores: Apple App Store and Google Play Store process subscription payments and share subscription status with our subscription management provider.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by applicable law, court order, or government request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent harm or protect rights.
- Business Transfers: If Wealtie is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred. We will notify you of any such event.
Section 06: Data Security
We implement the following security measures to protect your data:
- Password hashing: Your password is cryptographically hashed before storage. We never store or transmit your plaintext password.
- Token-based authentication: Access tokens are short-lived and signed. Refresh tokens are stored as hashed values and can be revoked at any time.
- Encrypted database connections: All connections to our database are encrypted in transit.
- Account lockout: Repeated failed login attempts trigger a temporary account lockout to prevent brute-force attacks.
- Rate limiting: Sensitive operations such as email verification resends, password reset requests, and API queries are rate-limited to prevent abuse.
- Webhook verification: Incoming subscription webhooks are cryptographically verified before processing.
- Duplicate prevention: Financial transactions include safeguards to prevent duplicate entries caused by network errors.
Despite these measures, no system is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at [email protected].
Section 07: Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. Here is what happens to different types of data:
- Account deletion: When you delete your account, all of your data is permanently and irreversibly deleted from our database. This includes your profile, all transactions, accounts, categories, budgets, goals, recurring transactions, OAuth provider records, refresh tokens, and subscription records. This is a hard, cascading delete, not a soft delete.
- Items you delete within the app (transactions, categories, budgets, etc.): These are "soft deleted": marked as deleted and hidden from your view, but the record remains in our database. We do not currently have an automatic hard-delete schedule for individually deleted items.
- Email verification and password reset codes: Automatically deleted shortly after issuance.
- Access tokens: Short-lived; expire automatically.
- Analytics & crash report data stored with our analytics and crash reporting providers: subject to those services' own retention policies.
Section 08: Push Notifications
We send push notifications to your device using your push token. Notification types include:
- Daily reminders to log your transactions (if notifications are enabled)
- Milestone achievement notifications (Pro feature)
- Streak achievement notifications (Pro feature)
You can disable push notifications at any time in the app settings under Notification Settings, or through your device's system notification settings. Disabling notifications removes your push token from active use for sending.
Section 09: Your Rights and Choices
You have the following rights regarding your data:
- Access: You can view all of your financial data directly in the app at any time.
- Correction: You can update your profile information and edit or delete any financial data you have entered at any time within the app.
- Deletion: You can permanently delete your account and all associated data from within the app (Profile Settings โ Privacy & Security โ Delete Account). This action is immediate and irreversible.
- Usage analytics: Off unless you allow it when the app first asks. You can withdraw or give consent at any time in Profile Settings โ Privacy & Security โ Share usage analytics.
- Notification preferences: You can enable or disable push notifications in app settings.
- Data portability: You can download a copy of your data in the app under Profile Settings โ Privacy & Security โ Download My Data. We prepare a ZIP file of CSV spreadsheets and email you a secure download link when it is ready. The file is deleted from our servers 7 days after it is created. If you have trouble with the export, contact us at [email protected].
If you are located in the EU, EEA, or UK, you also have rights under GDPR including the right to object to processing and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].
Section 10: Children's Privacy
Wealtie is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. We collect date of birth during registration; if we determine that a user is under 18, we will delete their account and data.
If you believe a minor has created an account, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Section 11: International Data Transfers
Wealtie is a global service supporting 18 languages. Your data may be processed in countries other than where you reside. Our backend infrastructure and third-party service providers may store and process data outside your country.
Crash data is processed in the EU. For other services, data may be processed in the United States or other jurisdictions. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer. We rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms where required for cross-border transfers.
Section 12: Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our data practices change. When we do:
- We will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page
- For material changes, we will notify you by email or with a prominent notice in the app
Your continued use of the Service after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you may delete your account.
