Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Escape9to5 ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience using our app. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the Escape9to5 mobile application.

The short version: We don't collect your data. Period. Your financial calculations stay on your device, and we have no way to access them.

2. Information We Collect

Escape9to5 is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information to external servers.

3. Local Data Storage

The app stores calculation history and user preferences locally on your device using encrypted SQLite database storage. This data includes:

• Runway calculation inputs (savings amount, monthly expenses)
• Calculation results and history
• App preferences (theme, currency format)
• Saved scenarios for comparison

Important: This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. We have no ability to access, view, or recover this data.

4. Third-Party Services

Escape9to5 does not integrate with any third-party services that collect user data:

• No Analytics: We do not use Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, or any tracking tools
• No Advertising: We do not display ads or use advertising networks
• No Social Media: We do not integrate with social media platforms
• No Cloud Services: We do not sync data to cloud servers (unless you explicitly opt-in in future versions)

5. Data Security

We take data security seriously, even though all data remains on your device:

• Financial data is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption
• No account or login is required to use the app
• No data transmission means no risk of data breaches from our servers
• App follows Android security best practices

6. Your Rights & Data Control

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: View all your stored calculations in the History section
• Export: Export your data anytime from Settings (coming soon)
• Delete: Clear all data from Settings > Clear Data
• Uninstall: Removing the app deletes all associated data permanently

Since we don't collect your data, there's no need to submit data access or deletion requests to us - you can manage everything directly within the app.

7. Children's Privacy

Escape9to5 is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. The app is designed for working professionals considering entrepreneurship.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app or by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
