Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how CashBox handles information. It applies to both the mobile application for iOS and Android and this informational website. At CashBox, we firmly believe that your financial life belongs to you alone.

1. Data Controller and Publisher

CashBox is a personal finance software tool operated by the owner of netixbyte.com. For any inquiries regarding privacy or data protection: info@netixbyte.com.

2. Local-First Architecture: Data Never Leaves Your Device

Unlike traditional cloud personal finance apps, CashBox is engineered as a local-first application.

• Local SQLite Database: Accounts, transactions, notes, budgets, projects, people debts, and custom exchange rates are stored in an encrypted SQLite database on your phone's isolated sandbox storage.
• No User Account: You are never asked to create an account, register an email address, or set passwords.
• Zero Company Servers: There are no CashBox servers receiving, analyzing, or backing up your transaction logs.
• Airplane Mode: You can operate the app indefinitely with cellular and Wi-Fi disabled at 100% functionality.

3. What We Do NOT Do

We maintain an uncompromising zero-surveillance standard:

• No Analytics or Telemetry: We do not embed Google Analytics, Firebase, Meta Pixel, or behavioral tracking SDKs.
• No Advertising: We never display ads or share advertising identifiers (IDFA / GAID).
• No Data Brokering: We never monetize, sell, or disclose financial data to lenders, credit bureaus, or marketing aggregators.

4. Device Permissions and Usage

CashBox only requests system permissions when strictly necessary for features you explicitly activate:

• Contacts (Optional): If you choose to add a contact from your phone book to track shared debts or split a dinner, the app requests read permission. The name and local reference are stored on the phone. Your address book is never transmitted to us. If denied, you can type names manually without any loss of functionality.
• Biometric Authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, Passcode): If you enable the biometric lock screen, authentication is handled natively by your device's operating system via its Secure Enclave. CashBox never accesses raw biometric data; it only receives confirmation of successful unlock.

5. Backups and Data Portability

You retain complete ownership and control over your data at all times:

• Manual Export (JSON / CSV): Export your complete financial history at any moment to open in Excel or your personal archives.
• Personal Cloud Backups (iCloud / Google Drive): If you enable automatic backups, they are uploaded directly to your personal cloud account using native operating system APIs. netixbyte.com has zero access to your backup files or decryption keys.

6. This Website

These website pages are static and informational. We do not set marketing tracking cookies or collect contact forms. Clicking the contact email links opens your default email client addressed to info@netixbyte.com.

7. User Rights (GDPR / CCPA & Privacy Regulations)

Because we do not collect or store user data on our own servers, you can exercise your privacy rights directly on your phone:

• Access and Rectification: You can review, edit, and modify every entry directly inside the app.
• Portability: You can export all your data in open formats (CSV and JSON) in a single tap.
• Erasure / Right to be Forgotten: Uninstalling the app or clearing app storage in your device settings permanently and irreversibly deletes the local SQLite database and all stored records.

8. Children's Privacy

CashBox collects zero user information and does not target minors. With zero remote servers, there is no risk of child profiling.

9. Policy Updates

Should we ever introduce an optional feature involving data handling, this policy will be updated in advance at this URL with a revised effective date.
