PayCheck Privacy Policy

PayCheck is a privacy-first Android app for personal finance tracking. Your financial data stays on your device: we do not send transactions, amounts, accounts, categories, goals, notes or financial analytics to our servers. This policy explains which technical data may be processed for PayCheck: accounts, Premium, ads, support, the beta program and PayCheck pages on vados.dev. The general vados.dev website policy is at /en/privacy-policy.

PayCheck is maintained by independent Ukrainian developer Vadym. For privacy or data questions, contact [email protected].

This Privacy Policy applies to the PayCheck Android app, the PayCheck beta version, PayCheck pages on vados.dev, beta program pages, related APIs, feedback forms, bug reports and support communication. This policy does not replace the general vados.dev website policy or third-party privacy policies, such as Google Play, Google AdMob, Supabase, Resend, or services you choose to use for storing or sharing files.

PayCheck may store the following locally on your device: transactions, amounts, accounts, categories, goals, notes, financial analytics, display settings, local export/import files and local backup files. We do not have access to this data and do not synchronize your financial history with our server. This data may leave your device only if you export it, create a backup, send a file through a third-party service, or explicitly include financial information in a support request or bug report.

If you sign in, join the beta program or use Premium, we may process technical and account data: Supabase user id, email, username, name or display name, avatar URL, language, currency, theme, technical settings, Premium status and subscription expiration. For Premium through Google Play, this may also include technical purchase metadata, such as purchase token and product id, provided by Google Play to confirm and synchronize Premium access. This data is used for sign-in, account security, Premium access, user support and beta program administration. It does not contain your local financial history or payment details.

The app may contact vados.dev to receive public or technical data: exchange rates, posts/news, beta status, APK metadata, account settings or support responses. These requests may create server logs containing IP address, User-Agent, timestamp and request path. These requests do not transmit your local transactions, amounts, accounts, categories, goals, notes or financial analytics to us.

Manual export/import and Premium scheduled local backups are user-controlled local operations. If you choose to save an export or backup to cloud storage, a messenger, email, file manager or another service, that file is handled by the service you choose. Premium scheduled local backup is created on your device or in the local storage location you choose. It does not mean hidden upload of financial data to cloud storage or to our server.

The Free version of PayCheck may show ads through Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK. Google and its advertising partners may process advertising ID, device identifiers, IP address, approximate location, ad interaction data, diagnostics and other technical data for ad delivery, fraud prevention, measurement and, depending on your settings and consent, ad personalization. We do not send your transactions, amounts, accounts, categories, goals, notes or financial analytics to AdMob and do not use financial history for advertising.

Premium is subscribed to and paid for through Google Play Billing. Google Play processes payment data, taxes, payment methods, cancellations and renewals. We do not receive your full card number or bank details. If you subscribe to Premium, the app may receive technical purchase data from Google Play, such as purchase token, product id, subscription status, expiration date and related user id. This is used only to confirm Premium access in the app after sign-in or reinstall.

In the beta program and support flows, we may process email, username, name, application status, selected testing directions, IP address, User-Agent, language, approximate country/city based on IP, device information, app version, Android version, messages, replies, bug reports, screenshots, attachments and logs that you submit. Please do not include full financial data in bug reports or support requests unless it is necessary to resolve the issue. If you do include such data, we process it only for support and bug fixing.

When you visit PayCheck or beta program pages on vados.dev, we may process server logs and technical data: IP address, User-Agent, device type, page, referrer, request time, cookie/session data, beta account sign-in data, form data, analytics events and security logs. PayCheck pages may use PostHog or similar analytics when configured, and our own logs for security, statistics, attack detection and service operation.

PayCheck and related PayCheck pages may use third-party services: - Google Play Billing — subscriptions, payments, cancellation, renewal and Premium confirmation; - Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK — ads in the Free version; - Supabase Auth/Database — account, beta access, technical settings and Premium status; - Resend or other email providers — service emails, email confirmation, beta program notices and support; - PostHog or similar analytics — PayCheck page events and technical analytics when enabled; - hosting, CDN, domain and infrastructure providers — PayCheck page operation, security and content delivery. Third-party services may process data under their own privacy policies and terms.

We do not sell financial data. We do not read your local transactions. We do not store PayCheck financial history on our server. We do not use financial data for advertising. We do not access your bank accounts, cards or full payment credentials.

We process data to operate the website and app; provide sign-in and account security; run the beta program; respond to support requests; process bug reports; show ads in the Free version; enable Premium access through Google Play if you subscribe; provide exchange rates and technical configuration; prevent abuse, attacks and fraud; run website analytics; and comply with legal or accounting obligations.

Local financial data stays on your device until you delete it in the app or delete the app/app data. Technical account, Premium, beta, support, email and security log data is retained as long as needed for service operation, support, security, subscription handling, legal obligations or dispute resolution. PayCheck account data can be deleted through /en/paycheck/account-deletion using your account email and 12-character PayCheck ID. Some records may be retained longer when required for security, audit, legal compliance or abuse prevention.

We use technical and organizational security measures, including HTTPS, access controls, authentication, security logs and administrative access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is absolutely secure. Please protect your device, Google Play account, email and export/backup files.

PayCheck is not directed to children under 13 or the minimum digital consent age in your country. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Depending on your country, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, port or object to processing of your personal data. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise your rights, contact [email protected].

Third-party providers that help us operate may process data in Ukraine, the EU, the US or other countries. Where required by law, we rely on appropriate contractual, technical and organizational safeguards.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is always published on this page, and the update date appears at the top. If changes are material, we may notify you in the app, on the site or by another available method.
