The short version
- There's no account and no sign-in. Waldazz has no servers that hold your information.
- Everything you enter stays in the app's private storage on your phone.
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking. We don't collect, sell or share your personal data.
- The app goes online only to read public information: the BSP's exchange rates and PCSO lotto results.
- You can delete everything at any time: More → Erase all data, or uninstall the app.
What Waldazz keeps, and where
What you enter, such as your accounts and balances, bills and income, payments, spends, loans and utang, paluwagan, savings goals, lotto tickets, notes and receipt photos, is saved in a database inside the app's own storage on your phone. Other apps can't read it, and it isn't uploaded anywhere.
Receipt photos you take or pick are copied into that same private storage, so they stay even if you delete the original.
What goes over the internet
Waldazz sends nothing about you. It only reads two kinds of public information:
- Exchange rates for the currency converter, from the public reference rate list on the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas website (bsp.gov.ph). A copy is kept on your phone so the converter works offline.
- PCSO lotto results, from GMA News' public results pages (gmanetwork.com), so your saved tickets can be checked against the draws.
Like any visit to a website, those sites see an ordinary request from your phone (such as its internet address). Waldazz doesn't add anything to it: no name, no account, no money information.
Links in the app, such as the PCSO results page or this website, open in your browser, where those sites' own privacy policies apply.
Permissions the app asks for
Camera
Only when you tap the camera button to snap a receipt. The photo stays on your phone.
Photos
When you attach a receipt from your gallery, your phone's own photo picker opens and Waldazz receives only the photo you choose. It can't see the rest of your gallery.
Notifications
For the payment reminders and low-balance heads-ups you turn on. They're scheduled on your phone; nothing is sent from a server.
Fingerprint or Face ID
If you turn on the app lock. Your phone checks your fingerprint or face; Waldazz is only told whether it matched and never sees the fingerprint or face data.
Backups and messages you send
When you make a backup, Waldazz creates a file and opens your phone's share sheet. You decide where it goes (for example Google Drive, email or your files), and from then on that service's privacy policy applies to that copy. Receipt photos aren't included. Restoring reads a backup file you pick.
An utang reminder opens your phone's share sheet with a ready-made message. You choose the app and the person, and you send it yourself. Waldazz doesn't send messages or read your contacts.
Payments
If you buy an upgrade inside Waldazz, the payment is handled entirely by Google Play (or the App Store on an iPhone). Waldazz never sees your card or account details; it only learns that the purchase was made, so it can unlock the features. Google's or Apple's privacy policy covers the payment.
Who Waldazz is for
Waldazz is meant for adults managing their own money. It isn't directed at children, and its PCSO Lotto tools are for players 18 and over, as Philippine law requires.
Deleting your information
Go to More → Erase all data to delete every account, item, payment and receipt on your phone, or simply uninstall the app. Because Waldazz keeps nothing on servers, there's nothing else to ask us to delete. Backup files you shared elsewhere stay wherever you put them, and you can delete them there.
Changes to this policy
If Waldazz starts handling information differently, this page will be updated first, with a new date below.
