1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how PesaCount collects, uses, stores, and protects data. PesaCount is designed to be an offline-first tool. This means most data processing and storage happens locally on your device.

2. SMS Access and Data Use

PesaCount’s core function requires access to SMS messages to identify payment-related messages and build transaction records. We only use SMS access for:

  • Detecting M-Pesa or payment-related SMS messages.
  • Extracting transaction details (amount, date, reference, sender/recipient).
  • Building local dashboards and reports.

Non-payment SMS messages are ignored and are not stored.

3. No Other Personal Data Collection

PesaCount does NOT collect: Contacts, Call logs, Location, Photos, Microphone data, Camera data, or Biometric data. We do not track your advertising ID or browsing history.

4. Local Storage and Processing

Parsed transaction records are stored locally on your device. Unless clearly stated in a future update, PesaCount does not upload your SMS data or transaction records to our servers.

5. No Third-Party Data Sharing

PesaCount does not sell, rent, or share your SMS data or transaction records with third parties, including advertisers or analytics providers.

6. Security

Since data stored locally, you are responsible for securing your device with a screen lock. We use standard mobile security practices to protect local App data.

7. Data Deletion

You can delete all PesaCount data by clearing the App's data in your Android settings or by uninstalling the App.
