Last Updated: May 15, 2026  |  Effective Date: May 15, 2026

At CredLedger, protecting your privacy and expense records is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, stored, and protected when you use the app.

Introduction

CredLedger is a secure offline credit card expense tracking app designed to help users manage their spending privately and efficiently.

The app works primarily offline, meaning your records stay on your device and remain under your control.

By using CredLedger, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

To provide secure access and personalized usage, CredLedger may collect and store the following information locally on your device:

  • Full Name
  • Mobile Number
  • Securely encrypted 4-digit security PIN stored locally on the device
  • Credit card expense records
  • Transaction details
  • Spending categories
  • User notes and preferences
  • Backup files created manually by the user

Mobile Number Usage

Your mobile number is used only for user identification and account-related functionality inside the app. It is stored locally on your device and is not shared with third parties.

Account Security

CredLedger includes multiple security features to help protect your data.

Login Protection

Users can securely access the app using:

  • 4-Digit PIN
  • Device Biometrics (Fingerprint or Face Unlock, if supported)

Forgot PIN Recovery

If you forget your PIN, CredLedger may allow PIN reset or verification using your device's built-in security methods, including:

  • Device PIN
  • Device Password
  • Fingerprint Authentication
  • Face Unlock

Authentication is handled securely through your device's operating system. CredLedger does not store your device password or biometric data.

Biometric Information

CredLedger may use biometric authentication features provided by your device for secure login access.

  • Fingerprint or face data is never collected or stored by CredLedger
  • Biometric authentication is processed entirely by your device's secure system APIs

Local Data Storage

All app data is stored locally on your device.

CredLedger does not upload your financial records, PIN, or transaction data to cloud servers.

Your information remains private and accessible only on your device unless you manually export or share it.

No Cloud Storage

  • No online syncing
  • No remote database storage
  • No cloud-based transaction tracking

Your spending records remain fully under your control.

Internet Usage

CredLedger may use internet access only for limited purposes such as:

  • App updates
  • Google Play services
  • Advertisements
  • User support communication

The app does not send your financial transaction data to our servers.

App Permissions

CredLedger may request certain device permissions to provide app functionality, including:

  • Storage permission for backup and restore features
  • Biometric permission for fingerprint or face unlock authentication
  • Internet permission for advertisements, updates, and support services

Permissions are used only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We implement security-focused practices to help protect your information, including:

  • Secure local storage
  • PIN-based protection
  • Biometric login support
  • No mandatory cloud storage
  • User-controlled backups

However, users are responsible for protecting their devices and exported backup files.

Third-Party Services

CredLedger may use trusted third-party services to improve app functionality, security, and app monetization.

These services may include:

  • Google Play Services
  • Google AdMob for displaying advertisements
  • Google Play for app distribution and updates

Advertising

CredLedger may display advertisements provided by Google AdMob.

AdMob may collect limited non-personal device information, such as:

  • Device type
  • Advertising ID
  • App interaction data
  • Diagnostic information

Google AdMob may use cookies, advertising identifiers, and similar technologies to provide personalized or non-personalized ads depending on your device settings and region.

This information is used to provide and improve advertisements.

CredLedger does not share your financial transactions, PIN, or personal spending records with advertisers.

Data Sharing

CredLedger does not sell, rent, or share your financial data with third parties.

Your data may only be shared when:

  • You manually export or share backup files
  • Required by applicable law

Backup and Restore

Users can manually create backup files to restore their records later.

Please keep backup files secure, as CredLedger cannot control how exported files are stored or shared outside the app.

Data Deletion

Users can delete their data at any time by:

  • Removing records inside the app
  • Clearing app storage from device settings
  • Uninstalling the application

Since CredLedger does not store user data on cloud servers, deleting the app may permanently remove local data unless backups are created.

Children's Privacy

CredLedger is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above.
