--- title: "Manee — Privacy Policy" description: "How Manee handles your data: your receipts and financial data stay on your device, and the manee.app website collects only what you send us. On-device by design." url: "https://manee.app/privacy" lang: "en" --- - **Legal · Privacy Policy** — Effective 3 September 2026 # Privacy Policy Manee is built so your financial data stays on your device. This policy explains, in plain language, what that means — and the limited information the manee.app website handles when you reach out to us. Your receipts never reach us. Manee reads and stores your receipts, images, amounts, merchants, dates and notes **entirely on your device**. We run no servers that receive them, we require no account, and we cannot see your financial data. If you enable the optional Pro cloud-sync feature, your data is copied to **your own** iCloud or Google Drive account — not to us. The only personal information we ever hold is what you choose to send us through the website (for example, a support message). ### At a glance What How Manee handles it Receipts, images, amounts, dates Processed and stored only on your device. Never sent to us. Cloud sync (Pro, optional) Off by default. If you turn it on, your Manee data is stored in your own iCloud (iOS) or Google Drive (Android) account, under Apple's or Google's terms — we never receive it. Account / sign-in Not required. Manee has no user accounts and no login. Advertising and tracking None. The app contains no advertising, analytics or tracking SDKs. In-app purchases Handled by Apple and Google. We receive only your purchase and entitlement status. Website forms Only what you type into the support or feature-request form — your message or request, plus any name or email you add — stored by our processor (Cloudflare) so we can reply. Web fonts None shared. The Website's typefaces are served from manee.app itself, so loading a page makes no request to Google Fonts or any other font host. Selling your data Never. We do not sell or share personal data for advertising. ## 01Who we are Manee (“Manee”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a personal expense-tracking app for iOS (with Android to follow), operated by **Zaw Lin Tun**, an individual (the “Provider”). For any privacy question, or to exercise your rights, contact [privacy@manee.app](mailto:privacy@manee.app). This policy covers both the Manee mobile app (the “App”) and the website at manee.app (the “Website”). Where the two differ, we say so. ## 02The Manee app: on-device by design ### No account, no Manee servers You do not create an account, sign in, or give us an email to use the App. Everything Manee does with your receipts — capturing an image, reading it with on-device OCR and AI, and saving the merchant, amount, date and category — happens locally on your phone and is stored in a database on the device. This data is not transmitted to us and we have no way to access it. ### Permissions the App may request - **Camera** — only if you photograph a paper receipt. Images are processed on-device. - **Photos / photo library** — so you can point Manee at the bank slips and PromptPay receipts already saved in your gallery. Manee reads the images you select or allow; it does not upload them. - **Notifications** (optional) — only if you turn on reminders or budget alerts. Budget alerts are calculated on the device from your own entries; the notification is raised locally and its contents are never sent anywhere. You can revoke any permission at any time in your device settings. ### When the App uses the network Manee is built to work offline. It only contacts the network to: (i) only if you switch on **Check exchange rate online** in Settings → Currency, which is **off by default**, fetch the current THB ↔ USD exchange rate for currency conversion from `api.frankfurter.dev` at most once a day — an anonymous request for a public figure, carrying no receipt, amount, or identifier of any kind; with the check off, Manee converts at its own built-in rate and this request is never made; (ii) download the on-device AI models once after installation, and any later model update, from our file host `assets.manee.app` — a plain file download that sends nothing about you; (iii) check for optional app and model updates by fetching a small version file from `manee.app`; (iv) complete purchases and validate receipts through the App Store or Google Play; (v) open a link you tap (such as this Website or a support email); and (vi) if you have enabled the optional Pro cloud sync, transfer your Manee data to and from your own iCloud or Google Drive. Scanning, categorising, budget alerts and AI chat never need the network — they run in airplane mode; without a connection Manee simply reuses the last exchange rate it fetched. **Your receipts, images and amounts are never sent to us.** ### No tracking or advertising The App contains no third-party advertising, analytics, attribution or tracking SDKs. We do not profile you, and we do not have an identifier that follows you across apps or websites. ### Optional cloud sync (Pro) Pro includes an optional cloud sync and backup feature, **off by default**. If you turn it on, your Manee data (receipts, images, amounts and settings) is stored in and synced through **your own** cloud account — iCloud on iOS, Google Drive on Android. That storage belongs to you: it is governed by Apple's or Google's terms and privacy policies, we have no access to it, and no copy passes through any server of ours. Turn sync off at any time in the App's settings; you can also delete the synced copy from your iCloud or Google Drive. ### Device backups If you enable your operating system's backup (for example iCloud Backup or Google's device backup), your on-device Manee data may be included in that backup. Those backups are controlled by Apple or Google under _their_ terms and privacy policies, not ours. ### Deleting your data Because your data lives on your device, you are in control: delete individual entries in the App, clear the App's data, or uninstall Manee to remove its local database from that device entirely. If you used cloud sync, also remove the synced copy from your iCloud or Google Drive (or from the App's sync settings before uninstalling). ## 03In-app purchases Manee is free to download and offers optional in-app purchases (an auto-renewing subscription and a one-time Lifetime purchase). Payments are processed by **Apple** and **Google** through the App Store and Google Play — **not by us**. We never receive or store your full payment card details. To deliver what you bought and to provide support, Apple and Google share with us limited information such as your purchase and subscription status, entitlements, and anonymised or aggregated transaction data. We use this to perform our agreement with you and for our legitimate interest in supporting purchases; we do not keep a separate store of your purchase history beyond what we need to answer a support request. Their handling of your information is governed by the [Apple Privacy Policy](https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/) and the [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). ## 04The manee.app website ### Hosting and security logs The Website is a static site hosted on **Cloudflare**. As our hosting and security provider, Cloudflare processes standard technical data — such as your IP address, request headers, approximate location and browser user-agent — to serve pages and protect the site from abuse. This is ordinary web-server activity, is not used to build a profile of you, and rests on our legitimate interest in running a secure Website. The Website's typefaces are served from manee.app itself rather than from a third-party font host, so no font request goes to Google or anyone else. ### Contact and feature-request forms Two forms let you write to us. They collect only what you choose to enter, stored in a database (Cloudflare D1) operated for us by Cloudflare: - The **Support form**: your name (optional), email (optional), a topic, and your message. - The **Roadmap feature-request form**: a feature title, an optional description of the problem it solves, and your email (optional) — there is no name field. In both cases we also record your interface language and the time you submitted. Support messages additionally record your browser's user-agent, because it is often what explains a bug; feature requests do not. - **Why we use it:** to reply to you, provide support, fix bugs and plan the roadmap. - **Legal basis (GDPR / UK GDPR):** our legitimate interest in operating Manee and responding to you, and taking steps at your request when you contact us. Under Thailand's PDPA, the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests and to respond to your enquiry. - **Email is optional** — but without it we cannot reply. ### Anti-spam To tell humans from bots, form pages use **Cloudflare Turnstile** and a hidden honeypot field. Turnstile may process browser and device signals and issue a short-lived token; it is designed to be privacy-preserving and is not used for advertising. ### Cookies The Website uses no advertising or analytics cookies. Cloudflare may set strictly-necessary security cookies, and Turnstile may store a short-lived token, purely to keep the site working and secure. ## 05Who we share information with We do not sell or rent your personal data, and we do not share it for advertising. We rely on a small set of processors, and we may disclose information where required by law: Provider Role Cloudflare, Inc. Website hosting, security (Turnstile), and the form database (D1). Apple Inc. App distribution and payment processing on iOS, and iCloud storage if you enable the optional Pro cloud sync. Google LLC App distribution and payment processing on Android, and Google Drive storage if you enable the optional Pro cloud sync. ## 06International transfers Our providers (Cloudflare, Apple, Google) operate globally, so information may be processed in countries outside your own — including the United States. Where required, these transfers rely on the appropriate safeguards those providers offer, such as Standard Contractual Clauses. ## 07How long we keep information - **App data** stays on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App. We never hold it. A cloud-sync copy, if you enabled sync, stays in your own iCloud or Google Drive until you remove it. - **Form submissions** (support and feature requests) are kept only as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterward — no longer than 24 months — then deleted or anonymised. - **Purchase and entitlement data** from the app stores is used to keep your purchases working and is not retained beyond what we need to provide support. - **Security and server logs** are produced and retained by Cloudflare under its own retention policy as part of hosting and protecting the Website. We do not receive, store or analyse them, and we keep no server logs of our own. ## 08Your rights Depending on where you live, you may have rights under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), the EU/UK GDPR, or California's CCPA/CPRA — including to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, obtain a copy of your data, and withdraw consent. California residents also have the right to know, delete and correct, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information — which we do not do. We will never discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. Because the App stores your data only on your device, we usually cannot act on a request about App data — you already control it directly on your phone. For information handled through the Website, email [privacy@manee.app](mailto:privacy@manee.app) and we will respond within the time the applicable law requires. You may also complain to your data protection authority; in Thailand this is the Office of the Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC). ## 09Children's privacy Manee is a general-audience finance tool and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country; Thailand's PDPA affords additional protection to minors). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data through the Website, contact us and we will delete it. ## 10Security Your App data is protected by your device's own security — passcode, biometrics and OS-level encryption. Information submitted through the Website is protected by Cloudflare's security controls and limited access. No method of storage or transmission is ever 100% secure, but keeping your financial data on your device removes the single biggest risk: a central server that could be breached. ## 11Changes to this policy We may update this policy as Manee evolves or the law changes. We will post the new version here and update the “Effective” date above; where changes are significant, we will make that clear. ## 12Contact Provider: **Zaw Lin Tun**, an individual.
