1. SMS Data & Permissions (Core Functionality)
To provide financial tracking services, E-tiri requests the READ_SMS and RECEIVE_SMS permissions. We use these permissions exclusively to read transaction receipts from supported mobile money providers (such as EVC Plus and JEEB) to calculate your balance, income, and expenses. Your personal texts are ignored.
2. Local-First Processing & Optional Cloud Sync
E-tiri operates on a principle of explicit consent. Here is exactly how your data is handled:
- Default Offline Mode (Free Users): By default, E-tiri is a local-only application. Your SMS data, financial records, and personal information are processed and stored strictly on your phone. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
- Optional Cloud Sync (Premium Users): If you upgrade to a Premium plan, you have the option to enable "Cloud Sync." If you explicitly turn this feature on, your financial records are securely uploaded and backed up to our cloud servers. This allows you to restore your data if you lose your phone or switch devices. Your data will never be uploaded unless you manually enable this feature.
3. Data Retention & Deletion
You have total control over your financial footprint:
- Local Data: You can delete all your financial history from your device at any time using the "Factory Reset" option in the app's settings, or by simply uninstalling the application.
- Cloud Data: If you enabled Cloud Sync, you can instantly delete your server backup by tapping "Delete Cloud Account" within the app settings. Once triggered, your records are permanently wiped from our secure servers.
4. Third-Party Services & Analytics
We do not sell, rent, or trade your financial data to third-party advertisers or analytics companies. The only time data leaves your device is either through the optional Cloud Sync feature mentioned above, or if you explicitly use the native "Export to CSV/PDF" tool to save files directly to your device storage.
5. Account Information
Because the app primarily operates offline, we do not require you to create an account with an email or password. However, when you verify a Premium payment, you will share your Device ID and payment screenshot with us via WhatsApp. We use your WhatsApp phone number and profile name strictly for customer support and generating your activation key.
6. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any updates to this policy will be reflected on this webpage and detailed in the release notes of future app updates.
