We only collect limited data necessary to deliver core app functionality:

• Anonymous crash reports and usage analytics collected via Firebase services.

We do not collect or require: Personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address.

We use the information we collect to:

• Enable backup and restore features for your financial data.

• Improve app stability, fix bugs, and ensure a smooth user experience.

4. Data Storage and Protection

Your financial data is stored securely in two ways:

• Locally on your device: Encrypted and protected by your device’s security features.

• Optionally on Google Drive: If you enable backups, your backup file is encrypted and uploaded to your personal Google Drive account under your full control.

We apply reasonable technical measures to help safeguard your data from unauthorized access.

Frugalite integrates with trusted third-party services that may collect information independently:

• Google Drive API (to upload and retrieve backup files or exported data)
