Account Deletion

Delete Your Account & Data

We make it easy to understand exactly what data exists and how to remove it. Your data — your control.

Good news: We store almost nothing on our servers

Finlyzer is built offline-first. Your financial data, SMS-parsed transactions, budgets, subscriptions, and all financial records live on your device or in your own Google Drive — not on Finlyzer's servers. This means there is very little for us to delete on our end, and you have full control over your own data right now.

Where Is Your Data Stored?

Here's a complete breakdown of every type of data Finlyzer uses and exactly where it lives:

Transactions & Budgets

All your financial records, categories, merchants, and budget data.

📱 On your device
SMS Parsing Data

SMS messages are read and processed locally. The raw SMS content is never stored or transmitted.

📱 Never stored
Backup File

If you enabled backup, an encrypted file lives in your own Google Drive in a "Finlyzer" folder.

☁️ Your Google Drive
Email Address

Your Google account email is used solely for account identification. It is not stored in a user database.

🔒 Ephemeral only

How to Delete Your Data

You can delete your data right now, entirely on your own — no need to wait for us:

1

Uninstall the Finlyzer app

Uninstalling the app permanently deletes all locally stored data from your device — transactions, budgets, subscriptions, goals, debts, categories, and all app settings. This data cannot be recovered after uninstall.

2

Delete your Google Drive backup (if enabled)

If you enabled backup, open Google Drive and navigate to My Drive → Finlyzer folder. Delete the backup file(s) there. This removes any cloud copy of your data permanently.

3

Revoke Google Drive permissions (optional)

Visit myaccount.google.com/permissions, find Finlyzer, and revoke access. This prevents any future backup from your device to your Drive.

4

Contact us (optional)

If you'd like written confirmation that your account has been disassociated on our end, email us and we'll confirm within 5 business days.
