Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us when using Smart Spending, including account
registration details, personal identification, contact information, and payment data. We also
automatically collect technical information such as device type, browser information, IP address, and
usage patterns. This data helps us understand how you interact with our expense control and budget
management tools, enabling us to provide more accurate spending insights and personalized recommendations
tailored to your financial goals in Canada.
When you track expenses and manage your budget through our platform, we collect transaction data,
spending categories, and financial preferences. This information is essential for delivering our core
smart spending functionality and helping you maintain better expense control. We only collect data
necessary for providing our services and improving your experience with budget management features.
How We Use Your Data
Your information is used to provide, maintain, and improve our Smart Spending platform. We process your
data to deliver personalized expense control features, generate budget management insights, and send
service-related communications. Your spending patterns help us offer targeted recommendations for better
financial management and expense optimization specific to Canadian users and local financial regulations.
We analyze aggregated, anonymized data to identify trends in smart spending behaviors and improve our
budget management algorithms. This helps us develop better features for expense control and provide more
accurate financial guidance. We never sell your personal information to third parties. Your data is used
exclusively to enhance your experience and deliver the services you've requested through our platform.
Your Privacy Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time through your
account settings. Under Canadian privacy laws, you can request a copy of all data we hold about you, and
we will provide it within thirty days. You may withdraw consent for data processing, request restrictions
on how we use your information, or ask us to delete your account and associated data permanently.
If you have concerns about how we handle your information, you can contact us directly or file a
complaint with the appropriate Canadian privacy authority. We are committed to transparency and will
respond promptly to all privacy requests. Your control over your personal information is fundamental to
our commitment to responsible expense tracking and budget management practices.
Cookies and Tracking
Smart Spending uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and remember
your preferences for budget management. Essential cookies enable core functionality like authentication
and session management. Performance cookies help us understand how you use our expense control features,
allowing us to optimize the platform. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings,
though disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality.
We use analytics tools to track user interactions with our smart spending features, helping us identify
which expense control tools are most valuable. This data is collected in anonymized form and helps us make
informed decisions about feature development. Third-party services may also use cookies for analytics
purposes. By using our platform, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
Data Security and Storage
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your financial data and personal information from
unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Your data is encrypted during transmission using
industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols. We maintain secure servers in Canada and use multi-layer security
protocols to safeguard sensitive information related to your expense control and budget management
activities.
Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who require it to provide our
services. We regularly review and update our security practices to address emerging threats. While we
maintain strong security standards, no system is completely secure. We encourage you to maintain strong
passwords and contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your Smart Spending account or
expense data.
Third-Party Services
Smart Spending integrates with third-party service providers to deliver our smart spending and budget
management features. These may include payment processors, analytics services, and cloud hosting
providers. We carefully select partners who maintain comparable privacy and security standards. All third
parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for purposes necessary to
provide our services.
We do not allow third parties to use your personal data for their own marketing purposes. When you use
features that connect to external services, you may be subject to their privacy policies. We encourage you
to review third-party privacy practices. We remain responsible for any third-party processing of your data
on our behalf and maintain strict oversight of these relationships to ensure your expense control
information remains protected.
