Privacy Policy

Effective date: 22 July 2026

PLYVA is an envelope-budgeting and expense-tracking app. This policy explains what personal data PLYVA processes, why, and the choices and rights you have. We built PLYVA to keep your financial data private: we do not sell your data, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not share it with data brokers.

Who is responsible for your data

The data controller for PLYVA is PLYVA. For any privacy question or request, contact us at support@get-plyva.app.

What data we collect

Account data — your name and email address when you create an account. If you use “Continue without an account”, you are given an anonymous session and no name or email is collected until you choose to register.
Budget data you enter — your envelopes, transactions, categories, goals, recurring items, tags, and related notes. This is the core content you create to run your budget.
Household data — if you create or join a household, the team membership, roles, and the budget shared within that household.
Notifications — budget alerts and household notices we generate for you, and, if you enable push notifications, a device push token used only to deliver them.
Subscription data — whether you have an active PLYVA Premium subscription and its type. Purchases are processed by Apple; we receive an entitlement status (active / trial / expired), not your card details.
Technical data — a session token to keep you signed in, and minimal diagnostic logs needed to operate and secure the service. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.

Why we process it (legal bases)

To provide the app — storing and syncing your budget across your devices (performance of our contract with you).
To send notifications you asked for — budget alerts and household notices (your consent, which you can withdraw in settings or your device).
To manage subscriptions — unlocking Premium features you purchased (contract).
To keep the service secure and working — preventing abuse and diagnosing problems (our legitimate interest).

Who processes data on our behalf

We keep the number of third parties to a minimum:

Our own hosting — PLYVA runs on a self-hosted Appwrite backend on servers we operate. Your budget data is stored there, not on a third-party cloud database.
RevenueCat — manages subscription entitlements. It receives a pseudonymous app user identifier and your subscription status.
Apple — processes App Store payments and provides purchase receipts. Apple’s handling of payment data is governed by Apple’s privacy policy.
Email delivery — a mail provider is used to send transactional emails such as verification and password-reset links.

Where your data is stored

Your data is stored on servers we operate in Europe. All connections between the app and our servers use encrypted HTTPS. Session credentials are held in the device’s secure storage, and access to your documents is restricted to your account (or your household) by per-record permissions.

How long we keep it

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, we erase your personal data — your envelopes, transactions, categories, goals, recurring items, and notifications — and delete the account itself. Data that belongs to a shared household remains with the household for its other members; it is not tied to your personal account.

Your rights

You can, at any time:

Access and export your data — use Settings → Export CSV/JSON to download a complete copy of your budget.
Correct your data — edit your profile and any budget entry directly in the app.
Delete your data — use Account → Delete account to permanently erase your account and personal data.
Withdraw consent — turn off notifications in settings or your device.

If you are in the EU/EEA, you also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing and to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. To exercise any right, contact support@get-plyva.app.

Children

PLYVA is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above and, for significant changes, notify you in the app.
