Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026 · We keep this short and honest.

lock
The short version: We collect only what we need, we never sell your data and you can delete your account anytime. Everything below is just the detail.

What we collect

We only collect what's necessary to run the service. Right now, that means:

  • check_circleYour email address when you join the waitlist
  • check_circleYour name (optional, when you provide it)
  • check_circleBasic usage analytics once the app launches screens visited, features used
  • check_circleBudget and transaction data you enter into the app (stored securely, tied to your account)
  • check_circleDevice type and OS version for crash reporting

We do not collect your bank credentials, card numbers or payment details. Homwe is a tracking app you enter what you spend, we don't pull it from anywhere.

How we use it

Your data is used to:

  • check_circleSend you a notification when the app launches (waitlist email only)
  • check_circlePower the app features you use budgets, goals, household sharing
  • check_circleIdentify and fix bugs and crashes
  • check_circleUnderst and which features are useful so we can improve them

We never use your financial data to target you with ads, build a credit profile or make automated decisions about you.

What we don't do

block
We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it to train AI models without your explicit consent. Full stop.
  • check_circleNo selling or renting your personal data to third parties
  • check_circleNo sharing with data brokers or marketing networks
  • check_circleNo profiling for purposes unrelated to the app
  • check_circleNo retargeting ads based on your spending behaviour

Your rights

You have the right to:

  • check_circleAccess a copy of the data we hold about you
  • check_circleCorrect inaccurate data
  • check_circleDelete your account and all associated data
  • check_circleWithdraw consent at any time (this may affect your ability to use the service)
  • check_circleLodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@homwe.co.zw. We'll respond within 7 days.

Third parties

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to run Homwe. These may receive limited data as part of their function:

  • check_circleCloud hosting provider (to store your data securely)
  • check_circleCrash reporting tool (device info and error logs no personal financial data)
  • check_circleEmail delivery service (to send you the waitlist confirmation and launch notification)

We choose third-party providers who meet our st andards for privacy and security. We do not allow them to use your data for their own purposes.

Data security

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Your budget and household data is tied to your account and not accessible to other users unless you explicitly share it (e.g. adding someone to your household).

No system is 100% secure. If we ever become aware of a breach that affects your data, we will notify you promptly and take immediate action to contain it.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we'll notify you by email (if you're on the waitlist or have an account) and update the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the service after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
