Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 8, 2026
Who We Are
Finiby is operated by Giorgi Otinashvili. This Privacy Policy explains how Finiby collects, uses, stores and protects information when you use our website, iPhone app and related services.
If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact us at privacy@finiby.app.
Information We Collect
Finiby may collect the following information:
- Contact information: your email address, such as when you sign in with Apple or Google.
- Identifiers: user IDs and authentication identifiers used to keep your account secure and synced.
- Financial information: transaction records you add to Finiby, including amounts, currencies, categories, dates and titles.
- Audio data: voice input you choose to provide for AI transaction categorization.
- Purchase information: App Store subscription status and purchase history needed to manage Finiby Pro access.
- Diagnostics: crash data and performance data, including data collected through Sentry, to help us find and fix problems.
- Product usage data: which screens you open and which features you use, collected through PostHog. This never includes the content of your transactions — see Product Analytics below.
- Settings and preferences: app settings such as default currency and theme preference.
- Support messages: the questions, feature suggestions and bug reports you send from the Help & Feedback screen, together with the reply address you provide. See Help and Feedback below.
How We Use Information
We use information to:
- provide and maintain Finiby;
- create, sync, categorize and display your transactions;
- generate analytics and category breakdowns;
- process voice and text input for AI categorization;
- manage Finiby Pro subscriptions and purchase status;
- secure accounts and prevent misuse;
- debug crashes, monitor performance and improve reliability;
- understand which features are used so we can improve Finiby;
- respond to support, privacy or data requests.
AI Categorization
Finiby uses OpenAI to help categorize transactions. When you use AI categorization, the transaction text you enter or the voice input you choose to provide, may be sent to OpenAI so Finiby can understand the transaction and suggest the correct category.
Audio input is sent to OpenAI for transcription and categorization. Finiby does not keep the recording after it is processed. An offline recording stays on your device until it can be sent and processed.
Subscriptions and Purchases
Finiby Pro subscriptions are processed through Apple's App Store. We receive and store subscription-related information needed to verify your purchase, unlock Pro features and keep your subscription status current.
Diagnostics and Performance
Finiby uses Sentry to collect crash data and performance data. This information helps us understand errors, improve stability and maintain the app. Diagnostic data may be linked to your user account when needed to investigate or fix a problem.
Help and Feedback
When you send a question, feature suggestion or bug report from the Help & Feedback screen in the app, we store the message, the reply address you entered, and your account ID so we can answer you. The reply address is prefilled from your account but you can change it or clear it. Clearing it means we have no way to reply.
Bug reports also include a snapshot of your app version and build, your iOS version, your device model and your locale, so we can reproduce the problem against the build you are running. The app shows you this snapshot before you send it, and questions and suggestions do not include it. Support messages are deleted along with the rest of your data when you delete your account.
Product Analytics
Finiby uses PostHog to understand how the app is used so we can improve it. This records product events such as which screens you open, which features you use, how far you get through setup, and whether an action succeeded or failed. These events are linked to your Finiby account identifier.
Product analytics never include the content of your finances. We do not send transaction titles or descriptions, amounts, custom category names, search terms, voice recordings or your email address. Where an event describes a quantity — for example how many results a search returned — it is recorded as a range rather than an exact number.
Analytics data is processed by PostHog in the European Union. We do not use it for advertising, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
We have disabled PostHog's IP-based location lookup, so product analytics do not record your country or region. Our servers still process your IP address for security purposes such as rate limiting and abuse prevention, and it appears in short-lived server logs, but it is not used to build a location profile.
Product analytics are on by default. You can turn them off at any time in the app under Profile → Privacy & Legal → Share Usage Data. Turning them off stops collection and detaches your existing analytics profile. Crash and performance reporting described above is separate and is not covered by this setting.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only as needed to operate Finiby, including with service providers that help us provide authentication, subscriptions, AI categorization, hosting, diagnostics and infrastructure.
These providers may include Apple, Google, OpenAI, Sentry, PostHog and our hosting providers.
We share data with these providers only under contracts that require them to protect it to the same standard we do, to process it solely on our instructions for the purpose described here, and not to use it for their own purposes. OpenAI processes transaction text and voice input submitted for AI categorization as a service provider under its API terms, which state that this content is not used to train its models.
Data Retention and Deletion
We keep your account and transaction data while your Finiby account is active. When you delete your account in the app, your account, transaction data and support messages are deleted immediately from active systems, except where limited retention is required for security, legal or operational reasons.
You may also contact us at privacy@finiby.app for help with deletion requests.
Data Export
Finiby Pro subscribers can download their transactions as a CSV file from the Profile screen in the app. The export needs an internet connection.
Your right to obtain a copy of your personal data does not depend on a paid plan. If you are on the free plan and want a copy of your data, contact privacy@finiby.app and we will provide one free of charge. The in-app export is a convenience feature, not the only way to exercise that right.
Your Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or export your personal data. You may also have the right to object to certain processing. You can delete your account in the app, manage microphone permissions in iOS Settings and manage subscriptions through your Apple ID.
To make a privacy request, contact privacy@finiby.app.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted network connections and restricted access to production systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data responsibly.
Children
Finiby is not intended for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
International Processing
Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live. When this happens, we take steps designed to protect your information according to this Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and, when appropriate, provide additional notice.
