Who we are
ClearWeek is a personal budgeting app built and maintained by an individual developer. It is not operated by a limited company. Questions and privacy requests can be sent to shdeveloper532@gmail.com.
Privacy in plain English
ClearWeek works with local, on-device data. In normal use, personal budget entries stay on your phone and are not uploaded to developer servers.
What data we collect
ClearWeek stores the budget information you choose to enter, including your optional name, income, savings targets, fixed costs, spending, extra income and app preferences. If you enable the optional automatic review reminder, it also stores the local eligibility information described below. If you contact support, your email address and message are processed so we can respond.
Optional automatic review reminder
Where available, this setting is off by default. Switching it on gives consent to store when tracking starts and up to five distinct local days when you add a transaction. This information is used only to time an optional Google Play review request after at least 14 days and five logging days. It is stored in local app preferences, separate from budget exports; no budget amounts or transaction details are sent through this feature.
Switching the setting off withdraws consent and deletes the tracking start time and logging-day history. Once an automatic request is attempted, that history is removed and a minimal attempt record is retained to prevent repeated requests. Switching off does not remove an already-recorded attempt. These preferences last for the app-data lifetime and may be restored by device backup.
Google Play independently handles its native review card and any rating or review under the Google Privacy Policy. ClearWeek cannot tell whether the card appeared or whether you submitted a review. You can also choose to open the Play listing directly from Settings without enabling automatic tracking.
How we use data
Entries are used to calculate your weekly plan, track transactions and show budget history. Google Play handles Premium purchases. The developer does not receive or store payment-card details.
Lawful basis for processing
In-app budget data is processed on the basis of performance of a contract because it is necessary to provide the features you use. Support emails are processed on the basis of legitimate interests so questions and issues can be answered.
Android permissions
- Notifications, if you enable reminders
- Exact alarm access on supported Android versions for reminder timing
- Reboot handling to restore reminders
- Vibration for reminder feedback
Where data is stored
Core budget data is stored locally on your device. ClearWeek has no developer-hosted cloud sync for budget entries. Google Play processes purchase receipts and subscription status.
How long data is kept
Budget data remains on your device until you remove it. Support emails are kept only for as long as reasonably needed to provide support and meet legal record-keeping obligations.
Third parties in the app
The ClearWeek Android app does not use advertising or third-party analytics SDKs. Google Play processes billing under the Google Privacy Policy. Website analytics are separate and described below.
Website analytics and your choice
This website uses Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager to understand visits and improve the site. The shared consent controls on our indexable pages load the Google Tag Manager container only after you choose Accept analytics. After consent, the site makes page-view information and a Google Play link-click event available to the configured tags. The click event includes the page path and link placement; a click is not confirmation of an app installation. We do not send your app budget entries or calculator figures to website analytics. Consent is the basis for this optional website analytics processing.
Depending on the tag configuration, analytics may use technical information such as browser or device details and cookies or similar identifiers. Cookie use and retention depend on the configured tags; we do not state specific cookie names or retention periods here. Contact us at the address above for details of the current configuration.
The weekly-budget calculator runs in an isolated component in your browser. Its financial figures and results are not stored by the calculator or sent to us or analytics. The component tells the surrounding page only how much space it needs on screen.
Choose Accept analytics or Essential only in the banner. Use Analytics settings in the footer to change your choice or withdraw consent. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage so the site can remember it. Withdrawal does not undo processing that already occurred. You can also remove cookies and local storage using your browser settings.
Google processes analytics information and may process it outside the UK. Read the Google Privacy Policy and Google's information on international data-transfer frameworks. Website analytics do not enable advertising consent through our consent controls.
Export and sharing
Export, share and import actions are started by you. Files go only to the location or app you choose. The developer does not receive exported files.
International transfers
If you contact support by email, your email provider and ours may process information outside the UK under their own safeguards and policies.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction and objection. Because core entries stay on your device, most control is exercised directly there. For formal requests about data the developer can access, email the address above.
Children
ClearWeek is a general budgeting app and is not specifically directed at children.
Right to complain
You may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or 0303 123 1113.
