Introduction
Welcome to Nobuki ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes our practices regarding data collection and usage, including how we handle voice input and other sensitive features.
Information We Collect
1. Account Information
When you create an account, we collect:
- Email address - For account authentication and communication
- Display name (optional) - For personalization
2. Financial Data
All financial data you enter is:
- Stored locally on your device by default
- Encrypted before sync (for Pro subscribers with cloud sync enabled)
- Never shared with third parties
3. Voice Input (Microphone Access)
Nobuki includes a voice input feature for convenience when entering transactions.
How Voice Input Works:
- When you tap the microphone button, we request permission to access your device's microphone
- Your voice is processed on-device using your operating system's built-in speech recognition service (Google Speech Recognition on Android, Apple Speech on iOS)
- The audio is converted to text in real-time
- The audio recording is NOT stored, saved, or transmitted to our servers
- Only the resulting text is used to populate the input field
Important:
- Voice recognition is processed by your device's operating system, not by Nobuki servers
- We have no access to the raw audio data
- The converted text is treated the same as manually typed text
4. Usage Analytics
We collect anonymous usage analytics to improve the app:
- App crashes and errors (via Sentry)
- General usage patterns
- Device type and OS version
We do NOT collect:
- Your financial transaction details
- Personal identification information beyond email
- Location data
- Contacts or other personal data
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide the Service - Process your transactions, sync data (if enabled), and deliver app functionality
- Improve the App - Analyze crashes and usage patterns to fix bugs and enhance features
- Communicate - Send important account-related notifications
- Support - Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
Data Storage and Security
Local Storage
