Profile-Device ("we," "us," or "our") operates the budget reporting platform at profile-device.com. We take your privacy seriously and believe you should understand how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

This privacy policy applies to all users of our financial reporting services in the Philippines and internationally. By using our platform, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy and applicable Philippine data protection laws, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).

We collect several types of information to provide and improve our budget reporting services:

• Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, and encrypted password when you create an account
• Financial Data: Budget categories, expense records, income sources, and financial goals you enter into our platform
• Usage Information: How you interact with our platform, features used, and time spent on different sections
• Device Information: Browser type, operating system, IP address, and device identifiers for security purposes
• Communication Data: Messages you send to our support team and feedback you provide

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as government ID numbers, full bank account details, or credit card information beyond what's necessary for subscription payments processed by our secure payment providers.

Your information serves specific purposes related to providing quality budget reporting services:

• Generate personalized budget reports and financial insights based on your data
• Provide customer support and respond to your inquiries
• Improve our platform functionality and develop new features
• Send important account notifications and service updates
• Ensure platform security and prevent unauthorized access
• Comply with Philippine legal requirements and tax regulations

We analyze usage patterns to understand which features help users most effectively manage their budgets. This helps us prioritize development efforts on tools that genuinely improve financial planning outcomes.

We maintain strict controls over when and how your information is shared:

• Service Providers: Trusted partners who help operate our platform, including cloud hosting, payment processing, and email services
• Legal Requirements: When required by Philippine courts, regulatory agencies, or law enforcement with proper legal documentation
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, with advance notice and continued privacy protection
• Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize sharing for specific purposes

We never sell your personal information to advertisers, marketing companies, or data brokers. Your financial data remains confidential and is not shared for commercial purposes outside of providing our budget reporting services.

Third-party service providers must meet our security standards and are contractually bound to protect your information according to this privacy policy and applicable data protection laws.

Under Philippine data protection law and our commitment to privacy, you have comprehensive rights regarding your personal information:

To exercise these rights, contact our privacy team using the information below. We respond to most requests within seven business days and provide detailed explanations of any limitations based on legal requirements.

Protecting your financial information requires multiple layers of security measures:

• Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption
• Access Controls: Strict employee access policies with regular security training and background checks
• Infrastructure Security: Secure cloud hosting with regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments
• Monitoring: 24/7 system monitoring for suspicious activity and automated threat detection
• Regular Backups: Encrypted data backups stored in geographically separate locations

While we implement comprehensive security measures, no system is completely immune to threats. We recommend using strong, unique passwords and enabling two-factor authentication on your account for additional protection.

Our primary servers are located in secure data centers that may be outside the Philippines. When we transfer your data internationally, we ensure adequate protection through:

• Contracts with service providers that include strong data protection clauses
• Compliance with international data transfer regulations
• Regular audits of our international partners' security practices
• Encryption of all data during transfer and storage

We carefully select hosting and service providers based on their security certifications, data protection practices, and compliance with international privacy standards. Your data receives the same level of protection regardless of where it's physically stored.

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide services and comply with legal obligations:

• Active Accounts: Data is retained while your account remains active and for reasonable periods of inactivity
• Deleted Accounts: Most data is permanently deleted within 30 days of account closure
• Legal Requirements: Some records may be retained longer to comply with Philippine tax and financial regulations
• Backup Systems: Data in encrypted backups is automatically purged according to our retention schedule

When you delete specific budget entries or financial records, they're immediately removed from active systems and permanently deleted from backups within 90 days. We maintain detailed logs of data deletion activities for audit purposes.
