Who we are
ClearWeek is a personal budgeting app built and maintained by an individual developer. It is not operated by a limited company. If you have any questions about this policy or want to make a privacy request, email shdeveloper532@gmail.com.
Privacy in plain English
ClearWeek is built to work with local, on-device data. In normal use, your 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 and, if you enable the optional automatic review reminder, local eligibility information described below. Budget information may include:
- Your name (optional)
- Budget figures such as salary, savings targets, and fixed costs
- Spending and extra-income entries
- App preferences such as currency, display settings, and notification options
If you contact support, we may also process your email address and the details you include in your message so we can respond.
How we use your data
Budget data is used to calculate your weekly plan, track your entries, and show your budget history. Optional review-reminder data is used only as described below. If you purchase ClearWeek Premium, that transaction is handled by Google Play. Google processes payment and purchase details in accordance with their own privacy policy. The developer does not receive or store your card or payment instrument details.
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.
Lawful basis for processing
We process your in-app budget data on the basis of performance of a contract because this processing is necessary to provide the app features you use. We process support emails on the basis of legitimate interests so we can respond to users and resolve issues.
Android permissions used by ClearWeek
On Android, permissions are requested only when needed for a feature you turn on.
- Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) — used to send local reminders if you enable notifications.
- Exact alarm access (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM) — used on supported Android versions for more precise reminder timing if available. If unavailable, reminders may be less precise.
- Reboot receiver (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED) — used to restore reminders after device restart.
- Vibration (VIBRATE) — used for reminder alert feedback.
Where your data is stored
Core budgeting data is stored locally on your device. ClearWeek has no developer-hosted cloud sync for budget entries. Purchase receipts and subscription status are verified through Google Play for entitlement checks.
How long we keep your data
Your budget data stays on your device for as long as you use the app, unless you clear it in-app. Support emails are kept only as long as reasonably needed to manage support and legal record-keeping obligations.
Third parties
ClearWeek does not use advertising SDKs or third-party analytics SDKs. If you choose premium features, Google Play processes billing and may process related purchase data under the Google Privacy Policy. The developer receives only the purchase status data needed to unlock paid features.
Export and sharing
If you choose to export, share, or import backup data, that action is started and controlled by you. Exported files are sent only to the location or app you choose. The developer does not receive your exported files.
International transfers
If you contact support by email, your email provider and ours may process data outside the UK under their own safeguards and policies.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data
- Erasure — ask us to delete your data
- Portability — receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format
- Restriction — ask us to limit how your data is used
- Objection — object to how your data is processed
Because core budgeting data is stored locally on your own device, you can exercise most of these rights directly in the app. For formal requests about data we can access (such as support communications), email shdeveloper532@gmail.com.
Children
ClearWeek is a general budgeting app and is not specifically directed at children.
Right to complain
If you are not satisfied with how your data is handled, you have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO):

- Telephone: 0303 123 1113
