Reno Tracker ("the app") is a renovation cost tracking application for Android devices, developed by an independent developer based in New Zealand.
This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used, and the choices you have regarding your data.
By using Reno Tracker, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
Reno Tracker is designed to collect only the information needed to provide its core features. Depending on how you use the app, the following information may be collected:
a) Account Information
Using Reno Tracker requires signing in with Google or a verified email account. When you sign in, the app may collect:
- Your email address
- Your display name
- A unique authentication identifier provided by Firebase Authentication
b) Renovation Project Data
When cloud sync is enabled, Reno Tracker stores renovation-related data in Firebase Firestore, including:
- Project names
- Areas of improvement
- Expenses and purchase amounts
- Shopping lists and materials
- Supplier names
- Notes and receipt-related information
This data is used only to provide syncing and backup functionality across devices.
c) Crash & Diagnostic Information
Reno Tracker uses Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash reports and technical diagnostics to help improve app stability and fix bugs. This may include:
- Device type
- Android version
- App version
- General crash logs and performance data
- Your user ID and the sign-in method you used (not your name or email)
Crash reporting data is not used for advertising.
d) Subscription Information
If you purchase Reno Tracker Pro, subscription and purchase status is managed through RevenueCat and the Google Play billing system. This may include:
- Subscription status
- Purchase history related to the app
- Your user ID, which links purchases to your account (not your name or email)
Payment information is handled directly by Google Play and is not stored by Reno Tracker.
2. How We Use Information
The information collected is used only to:
- Provide and improve app functionality
- Sync renovation data across devices
- Restore purchases and Pro access
- Maintain app stability and reliability
- Respond to support or privacy enquiries
Reno Tracker does not sell personal information to third parties.
Reno Tracker does not use your data for advertising purposes.
3. Local Data Storage
Reno Tracker uses Hive, a local on-device database, to store renovation data directly on your device.
If you use the app without signing in, your data may exist only on your device and may not be recoverable if the app is deleted or the device is lost.
Local data stored with Hive is not sent to external servers unless cloud sync is enabled through sign-in.
4. Cloud Storage & Security
When signed in, your project data is stored securely using Firebase Firestore. Reasonable measures are taken to protect user data, including:
- Secure authentication
- Encrypted network communication
- Firebase security rules and access controls
While reasonable efforts are made to protect your information, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

Reno Tracker relies on trusted third-party services to provide parts of the app functionality.
