Privacy policy

How Floosy Fen handles money records, bank SMS, and optional backups.

Effective September 1, 2026

Overview

Floosy Fen is a personal money tracker. Most app data stays on your device. Cloud backup is optional and starts only after you sign in with Google and choose to back up.

Data stored on your device

The app stores accounts, categories, transactions, budgets, recurring items, goals, month closures, settings, SMS review records, mapping rules, and learning signals in its local database.

You can export a JSON backup. The file leaves the app only when you choose a destination through the Android share sheet.

Bank SMS permissions

With your permission, Floosy Fen uses READ_SMS to import existing bank transaction messages and RECEIVE_SMS to detect new ones. Messages are parsed on the device into drafts that you can approve, adjust, or reject.

Raw SMS bodies, sender names, SMS inbox records, mapping rules, and personal category-learning signals are not uploaded to Firestore. The app does not send SMS and does not delete messages from the Android system inbox.

Optional Google sign-in and Firestore backup

If you use cloud backup, Firebase Authentication processes your Google account name, email address, user ID, IP address, and app or platform metadata for sign-in and security. Firebase may also use an app installation identifier.

When you tap Back up, Floosy Fen sends a private copy of your accounts, categories, transactions, budgets, recurring items, goals, goal contributions, household backup data, month closures, and backup metadata to Cloud Firestore. Signed-in requests include your Firebase user ID.

Firestore backup does not include raw SMS, SMS inbox records, mapping rules, personal learning signals, or app preferences.

Currency rates

Currency conversion is optional. When you refresh rates, the app sends your ExchangeRate-API key and selected base currency directly to ExchangeRate-API over HTTPS. Floosy Fen does not send your accounts or transactions to that service.

Notifications

If enabled, the app shows local notifications for bank SMS drafts and budget alerts. Notification actions are handled on the device.

Analytics, advertising, and sharing

This version does not include advertising or analytics SDKs. Floosy Fen does not sell personal data. Firebase acts as a service provider for sign-in and optional backup.

Retention and deletion

Local money records remain until you remove them, clear app storage, or uninstall the app. Processed SMS review records follow the retention cycle you select. Pending SMS drafts are kept until you review them.

You can delete the Firestore backup and Floosy Fen sign-in account from Settings, Your data, Delete cloud data. Local records on the phone are not removed by that action.

Read the data deletion instructions.

Children

Floosy Fen is a personal finance tool and is not directed to children under 13.

Changes and contact

This policy may be updated when app features or service providers change. The effective date at the top will be updated.
