Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 30, 2026

Buhata is a life-tracking app for your money, tasks, family, and health. This policy explains what information the app handles and where it goes. The short version: your data lives on your device, backups go to storage you own, an online account is optional, and we never sell your information or show ads.

Information stored on your device

Everything you enter in Buhata (financial entries, tasks, grocery lists, weight and water logs, health reminders, journal entries, family profiles) is stored locally on your device. It never leaves the device unless you use one of the features below.

Google Drive backup (optional)

If you use backup, Buhata writes a single backup file to your own Google Drive using a folder and account you choose. We do not operate that storage and cannot read it; access is governed by your agreement with Google.

Buhata Cloud account (optional)

If you create a Buhata Cloud account, we store: your email address, a hashed password (we cannot see the original), your display name, and the content you choose to sync so it can appear on your other devices and, if you join a household, be shared with the household members you approve. You can delete your account in the app or at our account-deletion page; deletion removes your synced data from our servers after a 30-day recovery window.

AI voice commands (optional, paid feature)

When you use the AI microphone, the words you spoke are sent to our server and passed to an AI language provider to be converted into app commands (for example, “add milk to groceries”). We keep a copy of the transcript and the commands it produced with your account so we can improve how well Buhata understands voice, and these records are erased when your account is deleted. The AI provider does not use them to train its models, and we never use them to build an advertising profile of you. Voice input is always something you trigger by tapping the microphone.

Weather and exchange rates

If you enable weather, the app requests your approximate location from your device (with your permission) to fetch a local forecast. Currency features fetch public exchange rates. These requests retrieve data for you; they do not send your personal content anywhere.

Children

Kid profiles exist inside a parent’s account and are controlled by the parent. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

What we never do

• No ads, and no ad trackers.
• No selling or renting your information to anyone.
• No reading your financial or health entries for any purpose other than showing them to you and your approved household.

Security

Cloud traffic is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Passwords are stored only as salted hashes. Our servers sit behind network-level protection and access to them is limited to the operator of Buhata.

Family locator

The Family Locator is an optional Premium feature for one household. When a member turns their sharing on, their device sends its location to Buhata Cloud in the background, even while the app is closed, and Android shows a permanent notification the whole time sharing is active. We store the live position, a 7-day movement history, and the stops derived from it (where the device stayed and for how long). Everything older than 7 days is deleted automatically. This data is visible only to members of that household, is never sold, and is never used for advertising.

Adults turn their own sharing on and off. For child accounts, a parent or guardian in the household provides consent and controls sharing on the child's behalf; a child cannot switch it off while a parent keeps it on. We record when consent was given. Turning sharing off stops collection immediately, and deleting your account erases all location records.

Your choices

• Use Buhata entirely offline, forever, with no account required.
• Export or delete your local data from the app’s settings.
• Delete your cloud account and synced data at any time.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we’ll say so in the app’s release notes and update the date above.
