Quidly is a personal budgeting app. We try to keep the data footprint as small as the feature set allows. This page lays out what we collect, where it lives, and what you can do about it.
In a future release we plan to maintain a global lookup of common merchant names (e.g. "Netflix" → "Subscriptions") so first-time users don't each have to teach the app the same answers.
Only lowercased, prefix-stripped merchant strings + category labels — never amounts, dates, or anything personally identifying. You'll be able to opt sensitive categories (medical, adult, etc.) out of the shared lookup.
When you scan a grocery receipt, the prices feed a shared community price database so everyone can see where items are cheapest. AI online price estimates are stored in the same shared database so they're fetched once and reused — this is what powers cross-store price comparison.
Only the item name, pack size, store, price, your rough region (country / city), and date — never your name, your other purchases, or anything identifying you.
Your expense data is also copied to BigQuery, a Google data-analytics service, in the same Google Cloud project as the app database. We use it to run aggregate spending analysis and reports (trends, tax-time summaries).
It never leaves Google Cloud — the same trust boundary as the rest of your data — and is not shared with any outside party. The mirror carries the same "Only me" visibility flags, and our reporting queries respect them.
Every expense you log is shared by default with the other members of that space (your household, partner, etc.). When you flip the "Only me" toggle on an expense, that row is restricted to your account — other members' devices never receive it, enforced by Firestore security rules, not just hidden in the UI.
Members who join a space later only see rows that were marked shared at write time; private rows stay private even after they join.
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers, brokers, or third-party analytics. The only third party that sees individual data is Google (Firebase + Gemini), as described above.
Any time, from your account settings.
Permanently wipes every expense, budget and receipt in spaces you solely own, removes you from shared spaces, and deletes your sign-in.
Download all your data to CSV. Take it with you, any time.
