Privacy Policy for Masari
In short: Masari works offline and keeps your data on your device. We do not collect, receive or sell your data. Data only leaves your device when you choose to back it up, export it or send it yourself, or through your phone's own Google backup.
Information we collect
Masari does not require an account and does not collect personal information. Everything you enter is stored only in the app's private storage on your device, including:
- Projects, income, expenses, budgets, categories, suppliers, clients and items.
- Your optional business profile: business name, address, phone number, email and tax number.
- Your optional business logo.
- Receipt photos you choose to attach to expense or income entries.
We do not have access to this information.
Photos
When you choose to add a business logo, Masari opens Android's system photo picker. The app only receives the single image you select. It does not have access to the rest of your photos. The selected image is resized and saved inside the app's database on your device, and is printed on the PDF reports you create.
You can also attach a receipt photo to an expense or income entry, only when you choose to. You can take the photo with your phone's camera app or select it from your gallery with Android's system photo picker. Masari only receives the photo you take or select. Receipt photos are resized and stored only in the app's private storage on your device. They are never uploaded to us or to any server.
Permissions
Masari does not request the camera permission: receipt photos are taken with your phone's own camera app. Selecting a photo from your gallery does not require any photo or storage permission. On Android 12 and older, Masari declares the storage permission, which is used only to save the backups and exports you create to your device. If you enable notifications, Masari asks for the notification permission to show reminders.
When data leaves your device
Your data leaves your device only in these situations:
- Android backup. If backup is turned on in your phone's settings, Android may automatically back up the app's data to your own Google account. This is managed by Google under Google's privacy policy, and we cannot access these backups. Receipt photos are not included in this automatic backup. If you move to a new phone using Android's device transfer, your data, including receipt photos, may be copied to your new phone.
- Backups, exports and reports you create. When you create a backup file, or export an Excel file or PDF report, you choose where to save or share it (for example Google Drive, email or a messaging app). These files are under your control. Receipt photos are included only in backup files you create. They are not included in Excel files or PDF reports.
- Feedback you send. The Send Feedback option opens your email app. If you send the message, we receive your email address and what you write, and use them only to reply to you and improve the app.
Data sharing
We do not sell or share your data with third parties. Masari contains no advertising.
Notifications
If you enable notifications, reminders are scheduled locally on your device. No information is sent to a server to deliver them.
Links
Some options, such as this privacy policy, open a web page in your browser. Those websites have their own privacy practices.
Data retention and deletion
Your data stays on your device until you delete it in the app or uninstall Masari. Uninstalling the app removes its data from your device. Backup files and exports you saved elsewhere remain under your control, and you can delete them at any time. Backups stored in your Google account can be managed in your Google account settings.
Security
Your data is kept in the app's private storage, which other apps cannot read. We recommend protecting your device with a screen lock and keeping your backup files in a safe place.
Children
Masari is a business app intended for adults. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app changes. The new version will be published on this page with a new effective date.
