BillWatch Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 01/01/2026
BillWatch (โBillWatch,โ โwe,โ โour,โ or โusโ) is designed to help users track bills and subscriptions
by analyzing email messages only after the user explicitly authorizes access. We take your
privacy seriously and design BillWatch to collect and use the minimum data necessary to
provide its core functionality.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, how it is stored, and
your rights regarding that information.
- Information We Collect
1.1 Email Account Access (User-Authorized Only)
If you choose to connect an email account (such as Gmail), BillWatch may access:
- Email message headers (sender, subject, date)
- Email content needed to identify bills, renewals, or payment notices
- Attached invoice text only if required to extract bill information
Important:
BillWatch does not access email without your explicit consent.
1.2 Bill Information Extracted
From authorized emails, BillWatch may extract: - Merchant or service provider name
- Billing amount
- Due date or renewal date
- Payment status (for example, autopay detected)
This information is derived locally from your email content.
- Device & App Information
BillWatch does not collect or transmit any user information to external servers. All email
information is maintained on the user’s phone and is not transmitted anywhere. - Data Storage & Processing
3.1 On-Device Processing
Email data and extracted bill information are processed locally on your device. BillWatch is
designed to minimize server usage.
3.2 Secure Storage
Authorization tokens and settings are stored securely using platform-provided encryption. No
plain-text passwords are ever stored. - Data Sharing
BillWatch does not collect any user data and hence no data is shared with third parties. - Gmail API & Google Limited Use Disclosure

User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

If you enable notifications, BillWatch may send reminders such as:

- Clear all stored data from within the app
- Uninstall the app to remove all locally stored data
Disconnecting your email immediately stops further email access.

accordance with Google and Apple privacy rules. - Childrenโs Privacy
