Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 5, 2026 · Last Updated: March 5, 2026

The short version: DeductFlow stores your financial data locally on your device, not on our servers. We don't sell your data. We collect minimal analytics to improve the product. We take your privacy seriously.

1. Information We Collect

We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with DeductFlow:

1a. Data You Enter in the App

When you use the DeductFlow app, you may enter financial and operational data including expenses, income, mileage, active hours, property details, and other information related to your short-term rental business. This data is stored locally on your device using your browser's localStorage technology. We do not transmit, collect, or have access to this data.

1b. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website (deductflow.com), we may collect:

  • Analytics data: Page views, referral sources, general geographic region, device type, and browser type through standard web analytics
  • Referral parameters: If you arrive via a referral link, the referral code is stored in your browser's localStorage

We do not use this data to personally identify you or to access your financial records.

1c. Payment Information

If you purchase a Pro subscription, payment is processed entirely by Stripe, a PCI-compliant third-party payment processor. We do not collect, store, or have access to your credit card numbers, bank account details, or other payment credentials. Please review Stripe's Privacy Policy for information on how they handle your payment data.

1d. Email Address

If you voluntarily provide your email address (for example, through a newsletter signup, waitlist, or support request), we collect and store it for the purpose of communicating with you. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • App functionality: Your locally stored data powers the features of the app on your device
  • Analytics: Aggregate, non-personal analytics help us understand how the product is used and where to improve
  • Communications: If you provide your email, we may send product updates, educational content, or support responses
  • Payment processing: To fulfill Pro subscription purchases through Stripe

3. What We Don't Do

We do not: sell your personal data to third parties, share your financial data with advertisers, access or read your locally stored app data, use your data for automated decision-making or profiling, or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Data Storage and Security

Local storage model: DeductFlow currently operates on a local-first data model. Your financial data is stored in your browser's localStorage on your device. This means:

  • Your data does not leave your device during normal use of the app
  • If you clear your browser data, your DeductFlow data will be deleted
  • Data does not sync across devices or browsers
  • We cannot recover lost data because we never had access to it

We recommend periodically exporting your data using the app's CSV export features as a backup.

5. Cookies and Tracking

The DeductFlow app does not use cookies. Our marketing website may use:

  • Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality
  • Analytics cookies: To understand traffic patterns and improve the site (can be declined)

We do not use advertising cookies or retargeting pixels.

6. Third-Party Services

DeductFlow integrates with or links to the following third-party services:

  • Stripe: Payment processing for Pro subscriptions (Stripe Privacy Policy)
  • Netlify: Website hosting (Netlify Privacy Policy)
  • Google Fonts: Font delivery (Google Privacy Policy)

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy governing its handling of your data.

7. Children's Privacy

DeductFlow is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access: Request information about what data we hold about you
  • Deletion: Request deletion of any personal information we hold (note: locally stored data is already under your control)
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Portability: Export your data using the app's built-in export features
  • Opt-out: Unsubscribe from communications at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@deductflow.com.

9. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
