Floussi – Privacy Policy
Short version: your expenses stay on your phone. Floussi has no account and no servers of its own. Data only leaves your device when you use the Mizan assistant (sent to Google Gemini) and through the ads (Google AdMob), as explained below.
1. Data stored on your device
Everything you enter in Floussi is saved only in the app's storage on your phone:
- expenses (amount, category, date, note, and how often a recurring expense repeats), your own categories, income and spending limits;
- your settings (language, currency, theme);
- the optional profile you fill in (name, short description, date of birth, photo);
- your conversations with Mizan, if you use it;
- your Google Gemini API key, if you set up Mizan.
The developer never receives this data. It is not uploaded, synced or backed up to any server by Floussi.
2. Mizan, the AI assistant (Google Gemini)
Mizan is optional and only works after you add your own free Google Gemini API key. When you send Mizan a message, Floussi sends to Google's Gemini service:
- your message and the earlier messages of the same conversation;
- a summary of your spending: this month's total, top categories, your five most recent expenses and your income.
This is sent directly from your phone to Google, using your own key; it does not pass through the developer. Google processes it under its own terms and privacy policy: Gemini API terms and Google Privacy Policy. Your conversations are kept on your phone so you can continue them later. You can delete any conversation in Mizan, or stop at any time by resetting Mizan, which deletes your key and all conversations from your phone.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
Floussi is free and shows a small banner ad on some screens, provided by Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, and to help prevent fraud, Google may collect:
- your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers;
- your IP address and approximate location derived from it;
- information about ad views and taps.
Floussi never gives AdMob your expenses or anything else you type into the app. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Floussi asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown, and you can change your choice later in Settings → Ad privacy choices. Anywhere, you can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads in your Android settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads).

4. Photos and files
- If you choose a profile photo, Floussi asks for access to pick one image. The copy is kept inside the app on your phone.
- PDF reports and backup files are only created when you ask. You decide where they are saved or which app they are shared with. Backup files include your Mizan conversations but never your Gemini key. They are not encrypted, so keep them somewhere safe.
5. What we don't do
- No account or sign-in, and no Floussi servers.
- No selling of your data, and no sharing of your expenses with advertisers.
- No access to your contacts, camera, microphone or precise location.
6. Deleting your data
You are always in control of your data:
- Settings → Delete everything erases all your expenses, recurring expenses, categories, income, limits, profile, Mizan conversations and Gemini key.
- Uninstalling the app removes all of its data from your phone.
- For data held by Google (Gemini or AdMob), see the Google links above.
7. Children
Floussi is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
8. Security
Your data is protected by your phone's own security (screen lock and app sandbox). Data sent to Google travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS).
9. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new effective date.
