Plain-language summary: Round To It is a personal finance app that runs entirely on your device. No account, ever, and no internet connection is required to use it. We do not collect, sell, or share your financial data, which never leaves your device. The only thing we ever receive is fully anonymous diagnostics, and only if you turn that on yourself — it contains no identity and nothing financial.
1. Who We Are
Round To It is developed and operated by Round To It Dev ("we", "us", or "our"), based in Ontario, Canada. If you have any questions or privacy-related requests, you can contact us at:
Privacy Contact: hello@roundtoit.app
2. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to:
- The Round To It mobile application (Android)
- The Round To It website at roundtoit.app
This policy does not apply to third-party services you may link to or use alongside the app. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services.
3. How Round To It Works
Round To It is designed to work fully on your device, with no account and no internet connection required.
- All transaction data, categories, budgets, settings, and streak information are stored locally on your device
- No data is transmitted to our servers or any third party, with the one exception below
- No account exists, has ever existed in this version, or is required
- No personal information is collected by us
We have no access to any of your data, financial or otherwise.
Optional Spending Detection (Android Notification Access)
Round To It includes an optional, off-by-default feature called Spending Detection (Settings → Advanced). If you choose to enable it, the app uses Android's notification access permission to read notifications only from the specific apps you select (for example, your banking or payment apps). It does this solely to detect a spending amount and pre-fill the Add Transaction screen, so you can log a purchase faster.
- This feature is opt-in: it is turned off until you explicitly enable it and grant the system permission yourself
- You choose exactly which apps are monitored; notifications from all other apps are ignored at the device level and never reach Round To It
- The app looks for a spending amount only: it does not read, store, or interpret your balance, transaction history, or other notification content
- All processing happens entirely on your device: notification content is never sent to our servers or any third party
- Nothing is saved unless you tap a suggestion and choose to save the transaction yourself
- You can turn the feature off at any time in the app, and revoke the system permission in your Android settings
Optional Anonymous Diagnostics
Round To It includes an optional, off-by-default feature that sends fully anonymous diagnostics to our own servers, to help us find bugs and understand which features are used. This is the only way any data ever leaves your device. See Section 4 for exactly what it contains.
4. What Data We Collect and Why
| Data | Why We Collect It | How Long We Keep It |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction data, categories, budgets, settings, streak | App functionality, stored locally on your device only | Until you delete the app or clear app data |
| App version and device OS (manual error log) | The in-app "Save Error Log" option saves a log to your device only when you trigger it; never transmitted automatically. For optional automatic error reporting, see the Anonymous Diagnostics row below | You control this: saved to your device and shared only if you choose to send it |
| Anonymous Diagnostics (app version, device OS, anonymous usage-event names, and scrubbed error reports) | Only if you turn on "Share Anonymous Diagnostics" (Settings → Privacy & Data, or during onboarding). Helps us find bugs and understand which features are used. Contains no identity (no email, name, or any identifier) and no financial data (no amounts, transaction names, notes, or budgets); sent only with your consent to our own cloud infrastructure (Section 7) | Up to 90 days on our servers; collection stops immediately when you turn it off |
| Notification content from apps you select (Spending Detection) | Optional feature, off by default. Read on-device only, to detect a spending amount and pre-fill a transaction; never transmitted to us or any third party | Not stored: processed momentarily on your device and discarded unless you choose to save the transaction |
As of the date of this policy, Round To It does not collect any of the following:
- Your email address, or any other way to identify you
- Location data
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
- Analytics or usage tracking data, except the optional Anonymous Diagnostics described above, which is off by default, requires your explicit consent, and contains no identity or financial data
- Financial account numbers or credentials
- Any data from your device beyond what is explicitly described above
5. How We Use Your Data
We use the data described above only for the following purposes:
- To provide app functionality: all local data is used solely to power the features of Round To It on your device
- To find and fix bugs: if you opt in to Anonymous Diagnostics, we use it to understand error rates and which features are used — never to identify you, since it contains no identity
We do not currently use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond what is described in this policy. We do not sell your personal information.
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not currently sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own purposes.
We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: If you opt in to Anonymous Diagnostics, we use a cloud infrastructure provider (described in Section 7) to receive and store that anonymous data. This provider acts as a data processor on our behalf and is bound by a data processing agreement
- Legal obligations: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public. Where permitted by law, we will notify you before disclosing your information
- Business transfer: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, any data we hold would be transferred to the successor entity. You would be notified in advance
7. Our Infrastructure Partners
- Cloud infrastructure provider (Anonymous Diagnostics): if you opt in to Anonymous Diagnostics (Section 4), the anonymous diagnostics are stored on our own backend (Supabase) — our own infrastructure, not a third-party analytics service, so it introduces no new third party. Diagnostics apply to any user who opts in and contain no identity and no financial data.
Our cloud infrastructure provider may process data outside of Canada. Before any transfer of personal information outside of Quebec, we have assessed that these providers offer protection adequate to the requirements of Quebec Law 25. These providers are SOC 2 certified and operate under Data Processing Agreements with us.
8. Data Security
We protect your data using the following measures:
- Local data is stored using your device's built-in security model (sandboxed app storage)
- Backups you create (automatic or manual) are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a passphrase only you know, written only to a folder you choose on your own device. They never leave your device unless you choose to share the file yourself
- Transmission of any data to our servers (Anonymous Diagnostics only) uses TLS encryption in transit
- Access to our backend infrastructure is restricted to authorized personnel only
In the event of a data breach that poses a real risk of harm to you, we will notify you and the applicable privacy regulator as required by law.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
All Users
- Access: You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. Since Round To It has no account system, this is limited to any Anonymous Diagnostics you've opted in to — which, being anonymous, cannot be linked back to you specifically
- Correction: You can ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Deletion: Round To It holds no account data to delete. Your on-device data is removed when you uninstall the app or use Settings → Clear All Data. If you've opted in to Anonymous Diagnostics, that data is anonymous and auto-deletes within 90 days (Section 11); you can stop new collection instantly in Settings → Privacy & Data
- Data portability: You can export your app data at any time using the built-in Export feature (Settings → Export App Data)
Quebec Residents (Law 25)
In addition to the above, Quebec residents have the right to:
- Withdraw consent for the collection or use of your personal information at any time
- Request that we stop disseminating your personal information (right to be forgotten)
- Be informed of any automated decision-making that affects you (note: Round To It does not currently use automated decision-making)
- Receive your personal information in a structured, portable format upon request
- File a complaint with the Commission d'accès à l'information (CAI) at www.cai.gouv.qc.ca
California Residents (CCPA)
California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold
- Request deletion of personal information
- Opt out of the sale of personal information (note: we do not sell personal information)
- Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@roundtoit.app. We will respond within 30 days.
10. Children's Privacy
Round To It is intended for general audiences. The app does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children — there is no account of any kind, in this or any other version described by this policy.
If you opt in to Anonymous Diagnostics, no identity is ever collected, from any user of any age.
If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will delete that information promptly. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us at hello@roundtoit.app.
For users in Quebec: in accordance with Law 25, we will not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14 without parental or guardian consent.
11. Data Retention
| Data | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Local app data | Stored on your device until you uninstall the app or clear app data |
| Anonymous Diagnostics (opt-in, off by default) | Sent to our servers only with your consent; retained up to 90 days then automatically deleted; collection stops immediately when you turn it off |
| Manual error log (in-app "Save Error Log") | Stored locally on your device only; never automatically transmitted; retained until you delete the file |
12. Cookies and Browser Storage
Mobile App
Round To It does not use cookies, advertising identifiers, or any cross-app tracking technologies. We do not use any third-party analytics SDKs. The optional Anonymous Diagnostics feature (Section 4) is first-party: when you turn it on, it sends anonymous, non-financial data only to our own backend, never to a third-party analytics provider.
Website (roundtoit.app)
The Round To It website does not use cookies, any browser storage, or any advertising, analytics, or tracking scripts.
Future Changes
If a future version of Round To It or roundtoit.app introduces advertising, analytics, or any tracking technology, this policy will be updated to describe what is collected and why, and you will be notified before the change takes effect.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will:
- Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document
- Notify you via a notice within the app on your next app open
Continued use of Round To It after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with the updated policy, you may uninstall the app.

This Privacy Policy is provided in English. As required by Quebec law, a French version will be made available prior to any marketing or distribution activities directed at Quebec residents.
