Your data, your context, no hidden fine print.

1. What This App Does

CIBI (Can I Buy It?) helps users evaluate planned purchases, manage budgets, track transactions, and monitor one active savings goal.

The app is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the app, we may collect the following categories of data:

• Account information, including email address and authentication identifiers when you create an account or sign in with providers like Google or Apple.
• Financial information you provide, including income, budgets, one active savings goal, recurring expenses, categories, transaction amounts, transaction notes, and purchase decisions.
• Scan images and extracted purchase details. When you choose to scan a price tag or receipt, CIBI captures the image and processes it to extract details such as prices and item information. See "AI Scanning of Price Tags and Receipts" below for how scan images are handled.
• Device and diagnostics information, including crash logs, technical diagnostics, and performance information if analytics or crash-reporting tools are enabled.
• Support communications, including messages and contact details you send when requesting help.

3. Demo Mode

If you use the in-app demo mode, the app may store sample or locally created demo data on your device to let you explore the product without creating an account.

Demo mode is intended for product evaluation only.

4. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• provide the budgeting and purchase-decision features
• extract purchase details from price tag and receipt scans you choose to capture
• authenticate users and maintain sessions
• sync account data across devices, if applicable
• improve app stability and performance
• respond to support requests
• comply with legal obligations

5. AI Scanning of Price Tags and Receipts

CIBI includes an optional scan feature. When you choose to scan a price tag or receipt, the app compresses and resizes the image on your device and then sends it to our backend and an AI provider so we can extract purchase details such as prices and item information.

This transmission happens only when you use the scan feature. The image is sent off your device to fulfill that real-time scan request.

• CIBI does not store scan images by default. The image is used to complete your scan request and is not retained as part of your account.
• The AI provider processes each scan request transiently. We send scan requests with a no-retention setting, so the provider is instructed not to store scan images or use them to train its models.
• We keep non-image metadata about a scan, such as scan status, the provider and model used, the extracted price, and the resulting budget classification. We do not keep the scan photo or the raw text read from it.
• Our analytics never receive photos, receipt or price tag images, image URLs, raw text read from an image, or raw item names.

6. How Data Is Stored

The current version of the app uses Supabase-hosted backend services for authenticated account data and secure transport over HTTPS/TLS.

Scan images used by the price tag and receipt scan feature are not stored by default. They are transmitted only to complete your scan request.

The app may also store some information locally on the device, including session state and demo-mode data, using device storage.

7. Third-Party Services

The app may use third-party service providers, including:

• Supabase for authentication and hosted database services
• Google's Gemini API as the AI provider that extracts purchase details from price tag and receipt scans
• Apple Sign In and Google Sign In for authentication
• Expo services and related mobile infrastructure
• Optional analytics, subscription, or crash-reporting tools if enabled in a given build

8. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information.

We may share information only in the following limited situations:

• with service providers that help us operate the app
• when required by law, court order, or regulatory request
• to protect our legal rights, users, or systems
• during a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, if applicable

9. Data Retention

We keep personal and financial data only as long as needed to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Demo-mode data stored locally may remain on the device until the app is deleted or local storage is cleared.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• access your personal data
• request correction of inaccurate data
• request deletion of your data
• request export of your data
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

11. Children

The app is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

12. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect data. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

13. International Transfers

If you use the app outside the country where our systems are operated, your information may be processed in other countries where privacy laws may differ.

14. Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will revise the date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
