ExpatPocket is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains clearly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. We follow the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and best practices for global data protection.
Account information
Your name and email address, collected when you create an account.
Financial data you enter
Transactions, income, expenses, investments, savings goals, and country/currency preferences. This data is private to your account.
Receipt images
Photos or images you upload for AI-powered receipt scanning. These are sent to our AI provider for processing and are NOT stored permanently — they are deleted immediately after processing.
Device information and usage analytics
Browser type, operating system, app version, and general usage patterns (e.g. features used, session duration). Used solely to improve the service. No advertising identifiers are collected.
To provide the ExpatPocket service
Your financial data powers your personal dashboard, reports, and insights.
AI-powered CFO insights
Financial summaries and insights are processed by the Anthropic API (Claude). Only the data needed to generate the insight is sent — no data is used to train AI models.
Payment processing
Subscription payments are handled exclusively by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details.
We never sell your data
Your personal and financial data is never sold, rented, or traded to any third party, ever.
We never use your data for advertising
Your financial data is never used for advertising, profiling, or marketing purposes by us or any third party.
Secure servers
All data is stored on Base44 infrastructure, hosted in the USA, with industry-standard physical and logical access controls.
Encryption in transit
All communication between your device and our servers uses HTTPS/TLS encryption.
Encryption at rest
Sensitive financial fields (such as account numbers and income figures) are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
Payment data
Payment card data is handled exclusively by Stripe, which is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant. We never store raw card numbers.
