Privacy Policy for Paisa

Last updated 22 August 2026

Paisa is an offline expense tracker for Android. This policy explains what the app does with your information. It is short because the app does very little: it has no account system, no analytics, and no server to talk to.

Paisa collects no personal data, transmits nothing off your device, and does not request the Android internet permission at all.

Information the app collects

None. The developer receives no information about you or your use of the app. There is no sign-up, no login, no email capture, no advertising identifier, and no crash or usage analytics.

Information you enter, and where it lives

Everything you type into Paisa — transaction amounts, notes, category names, budgets, your display name, and your "worth it" ratings — is written to a single file named paisa.json inside the app's own private storage area on your device. Android prevents other apps from reading that folder. This data is never uploaded, shared, or backed up to the developer.

Network access

Paisa does not declare the android.permission.INTERNET permission in its manifest. Android therefore blocks the app from opening any network connection, whether or not the app tried to. You can verify this yourself: the app's permission list in Android Settings is empty.

Third parties

Paisa contains no advertising networks, no analytics or tracking SDKs, and no third-party services of any kind. No data is sold or shared, because none is collected.

Deleting your data

Because your data lives only on your own device, you are always in control of it:

There is no server-side copy for you to request the deletion of, and no account for the developer to close.

Exporting your data

Paisa can export your transactions to a CSV file at your request. Once you choose where to send or save that file, it is outside the app and this policy no longer governs it — how it is then handled depends on the app or service you sent it to.

Children

Paisa is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. Since the app collects no data whatsoever, it collects none from children either.

Device backup

Android's own system backup may include the app's private files if you have device backup switched on in your Google account settings. That process is operated by Google under Google's privacy policy, not by the developer of Paisa, who has no access to those backups.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of Paisa ever changes what it does with your information, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the date at the top will change.
