Privacy
What Spendles keeps, why, and what we never do. Written plainly.
Your money records are for you
We keep only what Spendles needs to work. We never sell it, and we never show you adverts.
What we keep
Your name, email, and if you add them, your phone number and country. Your password is stored scrambled (hashed), so nobody can read it, including us.
Spending, budgets, bills and habits, categories, and if you turn them on: income, debts and goals. Amounts are only what you type. Spendles is not connected to your bank or mobile money.
Your notes, and photos you choose to add. Photos are made smaller on your phone before they are sent.
Currency, your payday, which features and notifications you turned on.
If you turn on phone notifications, we keep a delivery address for that phone (from Google, Apple or Mozilla, depending on your browser). It does not contain your phone number.
Short notes like "added an expense" or "created a goal", with the time. We use them to keep the service working and to understand which parts of Spendles are used.
A copy of the Add screen, so you can add expenses without internet. Expenses added offline wait on your phone until they are sent, then are removed from it. Logging out removes the copy of the Add screen.
While you are signed in, your session remembers your device's IP address and browser name, so you can stay signed in safely.
What we never do
- Sell or rent your information to anyone.
- Show you adverts or let advertisers track you.
- Ask for your mobile money PIN, bank PIN, card number or bank password.
- Read your SMS, contacts or photos. A photo is only sent when you pick one for your journal.
How we use it
To show you your spending, budgets and reports, send the reminders you asked for, keep your account safe, and fix problems.
The Spendles team can see account details and records when needed to run the service, answer your questions or fix a problem. We do not look at your records for any other reason.
Services that help us
When you pay for a plan, the payment is handled by OlyCash. They receive what they need to process the payment. We do not see or keep your card or mobile money PIN.
Emails, like password reset links, are sent through an email service.
Notifications travel through your browser's push service (Google, Apple or Mozilla). They are encrypted on the way.
The app loads its fonts from Google Fonts, which can see that a font was requested.
Keeping it safe
Passwords are hashed. The site uses a secure (HTTPS) connection when you use it online, and each person can only open their own records.
No system is perfect. Please use a password you do not use anywhere else, and log out on shared phones.
Your choices
Change or delete records any time: expenses, budgets, categories, bills, income, debts, goals and journal entries.
Turn notifications and features off in Settings, once you are signed in.
Close your account or ask for a copy of your information by writing to hello@lesengage.com from the email you signed up with. We reply within 14 days.
