DachsFinPrivacy Policy
Last updated 22 October 2026
The short version: DachsFin stores what you type into it so it can show it back to you on your phones. It never connects to your bank, never shows ads, never tracks you across other apps and never sells your data. You can see, correct, copy or delete your data at any time.
1. Who we are
DachsFin is a personal money-tracking app run by [YOUR FULL NAME], an individual developer based in Malaysia (“we”, “us”). We are responsible for your personal data under Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA).
Questions or requests about your data: hello@dachsfin.com.
2. What we collect
| What | Details | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account details | Your name and email address from Google or Apple when you sign in. With Sign in with Apple you can hide your real email; we then only see an Apple relay address. | To create your account and sign you in. |
| What you enter | Currencies, transactions (amounts, dates, categories and notes), burrows (savings goals), categories, your Dachsie and your settings. | To show your money back to you and keep it in step across your phones. |
| Your phone’s region | The country your phone’s region is set to (for example “MY”). Not your location. | To understand which countries DachsFin is used in. It is never shown to anyone. |
| Help & feedback messages | The topic and message you write, your account ID, app version, iOS version and app language. Your name and email are included only if you ask us to reply. | To answer you and fix problems. |
| Files you email us | If you email us a CSV from another app to import, the file and your email. | Only to add those entries to your account. |
| Server logs | Our hosting provider records standard technical logs, such as IP address and time of each request. | To keep the service secure and working. |
What we never collect
- Bank logins, card numbers or account passwords. DachsFin never connects to your bank.
- Your precise location, contacts, photos or microphone.
- Advertising identifiers. There are no ads and no third-party tracking in DachsFin.
3. How we use it
We use your information only to run DachsFin for you: to sign you in, store and sync your entries, show the home-screen widget, answer your messages, keep the service secure, and understand in which countries the app is used. We do not use your data for advertising, we do not profile you, and we do not make automated decisions about you.
By creating an account you consent to this use. You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting your account (see section 7).
4. Who helps us run DachsFin
We share data only with the services we need to run the app, and only for that purpose:
- Google and Apple, when you choose to sign in with them.
- Our hosting and database providers, which store your account and entries on servers in [SERVER COUNTRY, e.g. Singapore].
- Google (Google Sheets and Gmail), where Help & feedback messages and support emails are kept.
- Apple, which handles any App Store purchases. We never see your payment details.
Because some of these providers are outside Malaysia, your data may be transferred abroad. We use providers that protect data to standards comparable to the PDPA. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
We never sell your data, and we never share it with advertisers.
5. Where your data lives and for how long
- On your phone, so DachsFin works offline. Signing out clears it from that phone.
- In your account on our servers, so it comes back if you change phones. It is kept until you delete your account.
- When you delete your account, your data is removed from our servers straight away and from our backups within 30 days.
- Help & feedback messages are kept for up to 12 months. CSV files you send us are deleted once your entries have been added.
6. The home-screen widget
If you add the DachsFin widget, it shows what’s left this month on your home screen, where anyone holding your phone can see it. Turn on Hide balances in the app to show dots instead.
7. Your rights
Under the PDPA you can:
- See your data: everything you enter is visible in the app.
- Correct it: edit or delete any entry in the app.
- Get a copy: email us and we’ll send you a copy of your data.
- Delete it: in the app, go to More › Accounts › Delete account. This removes your account and everything saved to it, and signs you out. If you signed in with Apple, we also revoke DachsFin’s access to your Apple ID.
- Withdraw consent or complain: email us. You can also contact Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Commissioner.
We reply to requests within 21 days.
8. Security
Data travels between the app and our servers over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Access to our servers is limited to us. We don’t store any passwords, because you sign in with Google or Apple. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your data, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
9. Children
DachsFin is not meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top. If the change is significant, we’ll tell you in the app before it takes effect.
