Welcome to rilio. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the rilio mobile application and any related services (collectively, the “Service”). Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the Service.

  • Email address
  • Profile picture (optional)
  • Authentication credentials (managed securely via Convex Auth; passwords are never stored in plaintext)

Financial Data

  • Transaction records: amount, merchant/payee name, transaction type (debit/credit), date, category, notes

  • Currency preference (chosen from 45+ supported currencies)
  • Feature preferences: AI features toggle, clipboard detection toggle, notification preferences, privacy level (strict/balanced), auto-categorisation settings

Voice Input

Audio recordings when you use the voice transaction logging feature. Audio is transmitted to our transcription service for processing and is not stored after transcription is complete.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

Usage & Analytics Data

  • App interactions (screens viewed, buttons tapped, features used)
  • Onboarding and authentication events
  • Transaction logging events (add, edit, delete)
  • Subscription and paywall interaction events
  • Error and crash reports
  • Session timing data

Device & Technical Information

  • Platform (iOS or Android)
  • Operating system version
  • App version and native build number
  • Device locale and timezone
  • Anonymous device/installation identifier

Transaction Source Data

When you paste, share, or input SMS/bank messages for AI parsing, the raw text is processed locally to redact sensitive identifiers (full account numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, UPI IDs, reference numbers, balance figures) before any text is transmitted to AI services. The original raw text is deleted immediately after parsing and is never stored.

2.3 Subscription & Billing Data

Subscription purchases and billing are handled entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We do not receive or store your full payment card details. We receive subscription status events (active, cancelled, expired, trial, billing issue) and related metadata via our subscription management provider, RevenueCat.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS/HTTPS.
  • Server-side security: Our backend (Convex) enforces authentication on all data access.
  • PII redaction: Sensitive identifiers are stripped from transaction text before transmission to AI services.
  • No raw credentials stored: Passwords are never stored in plaintext; authentication uses secure token-based systems.
  • Webhook authentication: External service callbacks are verified using constant-time HMAC comparison to prevent replay attacks.
  • Rate limiting: AI features are rate-limited per user to prevent abuse.
  • Minimal data retention: Raw SMS/pasted text is deleted immediately after parsing; audio is deleted after transcription.

Despite these measures, no security system is impenetrable. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to contact us immediately at if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide the Service.

  • AI parse logs and rate-limiting records: Retained for up to 90 days.
  • Subscription event logs: Retained for up to 2 years for billing dispute resolution.
  • Voice recordings: Deleted immediately after transcription. Not stored.
  • Raw transaction text (SMS/clipboard): Deleted immediately after parsing. Not stored.

When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it longer.
