FinWise Legal & Help Center
Privacy Policy
Version: privacy-2026-10-02 · Effective: October 2, 2026 · Last updated: October 2, 2026
Plain-language summary: FinWise is a personal finance tracking app, not a bank or payment service. We process the information needed to provide the app, including the records you create and the capture features you choose. We do not sell personal data or ask for banking passwords, UPI PINs, card CVVs, or OTPs.
1. Who this policy covers
This policy covers the FinWise mobile app and finwise.delolabs.app. FinWise is operated by Delo Labs. Contact our privacy and support team at support@finwise.delolabs.app.
2. Information we process
Authentication and profile
Your email address, sign-in provider identifier, account identifier, and profile name are used for account access and sync. Sign-in may use Google or email/one-time-password through Supabase Auth. A DiceBear avatar URL may be generated from an internal identifier; FinWise does not upload a generated avatar image.
Financial records you create
This includes transactions, categories, accounts, budgets, goals and contributions, recurring-payment details, notes, dates, merchant labels, amounts, payment-method labels, and review status. These are tracking records, not bank-account access data.
Receipt and shared files
When you choose receipt scan or share import, FinWise processes the selected image, PDF, or supported content to create an editable draft. You decide whether to save a resulting transaction.
Speech transcript
Your device or platform speech recognizer creates the transcript when you use voice capture. FinWise parses that transcript locally and may keep a bounded local cache of parsed results; it does not send raw voice audio or transcripts to FinWise's OCR provider.
Usage and diagnostics
Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics receive product-flow and technical diagnostics. FinWise's telemetry allow-list excludes amounts, balances, merchants, notes, receipt/OCR text, voice transcripts, payment references, tokens, and authentication secrets.
Support and browser data
When you contact us, we process the message and reply email you choose to provide. The site uses essential browser storage for interface state. Google Analytics measures public page views, scrolls, download-button clicks, feature navigation, FAQ expansion, and support submission status. Analytics may use first-party cookies and browser/device information. We send only known public page paths and predefined interface labels; we exclude form contents, contact details, financial records, query strings, and authentication tokens. Automatic form and site-search tracking and advertising signals are disabled. The website respects your browser's Do Not Track setting. Cloudflare processes web delivery and security logs and may provide privacy-focused performance analytics.
3. Why we process it
- Provide sign-in, local-first records, cloud sync, budgets, goals, recurring payments, and exports.
- Turn user-selected receipts, documents, and shared content into reviewable transaction drafts.
- Provide requested reminders and, where enabled, Firebase Cloud Messaging notifications.
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot, improve, and support FinWise; prevent abuse of trials and service quotas.
- Meet applicable legal, security, fraud-prevention, and recordkeeping obligations.
4. Receipt OCR and AI processing
Receipt scanning is optional and starts only after you select a receipt or document. The app may temporarily upload the selected receipt to the private Supabase Storage receipts bucket, then calls an authenticated Supabase Edge Function. That function sends the receipt content to Z.ai/GLM to extract visible transaction evidence and returns a structured draft for your review.
The app attempts to remove the temporary storage object after processing, including failures. Do not use receipt scan for documents containing passwords, card security codes, or other information you do not want processed by these services. FinWise does not expose provider keys in the app or website.
5. Providers and disclosures
We use service providers to operate the product:
- Supabase: authentication, database, private receipt storage, and server-side functions.
- Google / Firebase: Google sign-in where selected, Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config if enabled, and Firebase Cloud Messaging.
- Z.ai/GLM: receipt image or document extraction only when you use receipt scanning.
- Google Play: Android subscription billing and purchase administration. FinWise does not receive your full payment-card details.
- Cloudflare: website hosting, delivery, and security logging.
We do not sell personal data or disclose it for advertising. Providers may process data from the country where their services operate; their own terms and privacy practices also apply.
6. Retention and deletion
We keep account and financial data while your account is active, subject to your controls and the product's storage behavior. A transaction moved to Recently Deleted is excluded from normal reporting and shown for up to 30 days for restoration; deleting a transaction is different from deleting the entire account.
Authenticated in-app account deletion is available at Settings > Privacy & Data > Delete Account. It removes the Supabase Auth account, profile, financial records, device tokens, entitlement and quota records, feedback/operational records, and owned receipt or avatar storage objects. The workflow detaches a one-way purchase-token hash for free-trial abuse prevention and retains a one-way deletion-audit hash. Backup and provider retention follow the operator's and provider's configured schedules; we do not promise a duration that has not been configured.
To request deletion without the app, use Delete Account. Deleting a FinWise account does not cancel a Google Play subscription; manage that separately in Google Play.
7. Security
We use access controls, authenticated server-side operations, row-level database protections, private receipt storage, and encrypted network transport where supported by our providers. No system can promise absolute security; keep your device and account credentials secure and contact us promptly about suspected misuse.
8. Your choices and requests
You can update data in the app and request access, correction, deletion, consent-related help, or raise a grievance through Privacy Request or support@finwise.delolabs.app. We may verify account ownership before acting on a request. Never send us a password, OTP, card number, UPI PIN, or bank credential.
9. India privacy notice
FinWise is intended for users aged 18 and over as a product policy; this is not a statement that Indian law requires all FinWise users to be 18. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 have staggered commencement. As of this policy date, the provisions that govern routine personal-data processing and the corresponding Rules are scheduled to commence eighteen months after the 13 November 2025 Gazette notification. We have written this notice in clear, itemized language and will update it as applicable requirements commence or change.
10. Changes and contact
We may update this policy when the product, providers, or legal requirements change. The version, effective date, and last-updated date above identify the current notice. For privacy questions or grievances: support@finwise.delolabs.app.
