TAS Budget stores your records on your device. No TAS account or bank connection is required. Expenses, income, amounts, dates, categories, descriptions, names you enter, purchases and selected photos or receipts are processed locally. Images may contain metadata. The app does not sell these records and contains no advertising or developer-operated analytics service. Integrated Google Play services do process technical diagnostics and random session identifiers, as explained below.
Asset records are stored locally and may include a name, asset type, manually entered value, currency, valuation date, optional availability date and notes. Valuation history and archived items remain part of your records. These records are included when you create an encrypted administration backup. TAS Budget does not connect to banks or retrieve live market prices for this feature.
Preferences, drafts, reminders, licence status, trial start and elapsed time, and limited counters used to time review prompts are stored locally. The trial lasts seven full days from first use of the version introducing the trial. When it ends, your records, overview and backup/restore remain available. Android protects private app storage; TAS Budget does not separately encrypt the working database. Optional app locking uses Android device authentication. The app does not receive fingerprints or your device PIN.
You can buy full access once through Google Play. There is no subscription or automatic charge after the trial. Google processes payment under its own terms. TAS Budget receives a purchase receipt, product ID, purchase token and status to verify, acknowledge and restore the purchase. The verified receipt is stored locally for offline access. Licence records are excluded from your financial backup. The app does not receive card numbers or bank login details. Purchase restoration uses your Google Play account. Existing gifted licences and review access are managed separately.
You can create an encrypted local backup. Keep the recovery code safely outside your device. Only you hold this code; Tempo Apps Studio stores neither your recovery code nor a copy of your records. If you lose the code and access to the original device, the developer cannot decrypt your backup. Android's document picker lets you choose a storage location or cloud provider. Excel files and shared images are not protected by backup encryption. Opening and sharing files occur at your request through a chosen app.
Version 0.1.28 and earlier versions up to 0.1.24: optional direct Google Drive backup
From version 0.1.28, optional direct Google Drive backup is available alongside local backups. It was also available in earlier versions up to 0.1.24. Versions 0.1.25 to 0.1.27 use only the file-location route described below. With your permission, TAS Budget accesses only its own hidden app-data area in the Google account you choose. It reads an email address and account identifier to recognise that account. Backups are encrypted on your device before upload. Records, preferences and receipts are contained in that encrypted archive; Google and Tempo Apps Studio do not receive the recovery code. Google processes account information, technical request information and file metadata such as name, size and timestamps. Connections use HTTPS. Access tokens are used for the operation and are not stored persistently by TAS Budget. Local cloud configuration and transfer status are protected using Android Keystore.
For direct Google Drive backup, you choose daily or weekly automatic backups and can restrict them to wifi. Android may delay execution; the app displays the latest successful backup and check. Each backup series created by this installation keeps up to seven verified copies; cleanup happens only after a successful verified copy. Other files and backup series are not automatically deleted. Turning backup off stops future automatic backups but does not delete existing cloud copies. You can revoke Google access in your Google account and manage hidden app data through Google Drive settings, Manage apps. Restore validates the archive, requests confirmation before replacing current records and first creates an encrypted safety copy. Automatic cloud backup is disabled during restore until you set it up again.
Local and document-provider backups from version 0.1.25
The local backup route introduced in version 0.1.25 remains available in version 0.1.28 and uses Android's document picker. You choose a local location or an available document provider, such as an installed cloud provider. TAS Budget does not sign you directly into Google or Microsoft for this and does not use a TAS Cloud connection or its own OAuth access for these new backups. Your chosen provider manages its own account, network transfers, storage and any charges. The backup is encrypted before it is written to the chosen location. The provider may process file metadata; the recovery code is not sent with the backup. Access to this location does not grant general access to all your cloud files.
You can optionally schedule daily or weekly backups to a folder you choose, provided the provider grants persistent read and write permissions. TAS Budget stores the folder reference and uses Android's granted permissions for this task. Not every Google Drive, OneDrive or other document provider supports such a folder; selecting a file manually does not mean automatic folder backups are supported. Android may delay execution. A successful write-and-read check through the provider does not prove that a cloud copy has already synchronised with the remote server; check this with your provider. Turning this off stops new automatic copies and does not delete existing ones.
The version transition does not delete existing backups. Older encrypted archives and their recovery codes remain important; keep an accessible copy before removing older provider permissions or app data. This policy covers public and test versions. The description of version 0.1.28 does not by itself confirm that this update is already publicly available.
There is no direct OneDrive or external calendar integration. Google Play processes technical app and device information for updates. The Google Play billing library also sends technical diagnostics, including app and system versions, device model, language/network context, success and error codes, and random client and purchase-session identifiers. This can occur when opening or resuming the app, even without a purchase. Events may be queued locally and sent to Google over HTTPS for service operation and technical analysis. Financial records are not included. Google's policy governs processing and retention at Google; Tempo Apps Studio cannot directly erase these technical logs on your behalf. If you voluntarily submit a review, Google processes your rating and text; test feedback may reach the developer. External social and website links are governed by the visited service's policy.
You can manage transactions and attachments in the app. Safety backups and undo information may remain locally. Android's Clear storage and uninstall remove private app storage and may remove local licences and recovery material. Make any needed backup first. Exported, shared and cloud copies must be deleted separately. Manage Google Play purchase records and reviews through Google. Tempo Apps Studio cannot remotely erase or recover your local records.
