1. Introduction
Welcome to Tanukeep ("we," "us," or "our"). Tanukeep is a personal finance management application that helps individuals track income, expenses, savings goals, and cash flow. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. It applies to all users of the Tanukeep web application and any related services.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact us at privacy@tanukeep.com.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
When you use Tanukeep, you may provide the following information:
- Account information — your name and email address, obtained through Google OAuth sign-in.
- Financial data — transaction records (amounts, dates, categories, remarks), account names and balances, and savings goals that you manually enter into the app.
- Organization/workspace data — the name of your personal workspace.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you use the app, we may automatically collect limited technical information, including:
- Log data — IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and timestamps.
- Session data — authentication tokens and session identifiers necessary to keep you logged in.
2.3 Information from Third Parties
We use Google OAuth as our sole sign-in method. When you authenticate via Google, we receive only your name, email address, and profile picture as permitted by Google's OAuth consent screen. We do not receive access to your Google account beyond these fields.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide the service — authenticate your identity, display your financial data, and enable all app features.
- Maintain and improve the app — diagnose technical issues, monitor performance, and develop new features.
- Communicate with you — send service-related notices (e.g., account changes, policy updates). We do not send marketing emails without your explicit consent.
- Ensure security — detect and prevent fraud, unauthorized access, or abuse.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising purposes.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Tanukeep operates under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
We process your personal information on the following lawful bases:
- Contractual necessity — processing is required to provide the service you signed up for.
- Legitimate interests — for security monitoring and service improvement, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Consent — where you have explicitly provided consent (e.g., for optional communications).
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers — trusted third-party vendors who assist in operating the app (e.g., cloud hosting, database infrastructure). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and may not use it for their own purposes.
- Legal obligations — when required by Philippine law, court order, or regulatory authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Tanukeep, its users, or the public.
- Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred. We will notify you before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. If you delete your account:
- Your profile data and financial records are soft-deleted within our system and permanently purged within 30 days.
- Anonymized or aggregated data that cannot identify you may be retained indefinitely for analytics purposes.
7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:
- Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS).
- Secure authentication via Google OAuth with session tokens.
- Access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel only.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Rights
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights:
- Right to be informed — to know how your data is collected and processed.
- Right to access — to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification — to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure — to request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to legal obligations.
