2 What information Alerto handles
Alerto is built to keep your data local to your device. You provide information when you use features of the app. Here's what the app can store and why.
📍 Location data (precise & background)
WhatYour precise GPS location.
WhenWhen you open the map, and — only if you turn on location history — about every 15 minutes in the background to keep a rolling 24-hour history.
WhyTo show your real-time position and let you review recent history.
WhereStored locally — never sent to us. Map tiles come from OpenStreetMap; place names are resolved by your device.
ControlBackground location is off by default. It only runs after you enable it and grant "Allow all the time." Turn it off anytime.
📷 Camera & photos
WhatPhotos you capture or select.
WhyTo attach receipt images to expenses and scan text (like mileage) using on-device recognition (Google ML Kit).
WhereProcessed entirely on your device and stored locally. Photos are never uploaded to us.
WhyTo back up and restore your data across reinstalls or devices.
WhereEncrypted on your device before upload, stored only in your phone folder. We can't read it and never receive a copy.
💳 Financial information
WhatExpenses, bills, debts and credits, and vehicle costs you enter.

3 What we don't do
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
We do not use your data for advertising — the app has no third-party ad networks.
We do not run our own servers that store your personal content.
We do not have access to the contents of your encrypted backup.
4 Third-party services
Alerto relies on a few third-party services to function. Their handling of data is governed by their own privacy policies:
Google Play services (location) & Google ML Kit — text recognition happens on your device and never transmits your images.
OpenStreetMap — map tiles are fetched to display the map, which sends the map area being viewed.
Device operating system services — for geocoding and secure key storage.
5 How your data is protected
App data on your device is encrypted. Encryption keys live in platform secure storage. Backups are encrypted on-device before they ever reach your phone folder.
No security measure is perfect, but we apply industry-standard protections to safeguard your information.
6 Data retention & deletion
Your data stays on your device until you delete it in the app or uninstall.
Uninstalling the app removes local data from your device.
7 Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or California's CCPA/CPRA). Because most data is stored only on your device, you can exercise these rights directly within the app.
We do not sell or "share" personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
8 Children's privacy
Alerto is not directed to children and is intended for adults. Any information about children in the app (for example in the family or kids features) is entered voluntarily by the adult user and stored only on that user's device. We don't knowingly collect personal information directly from children.
9 International users
Your data is stored on your device. If you enable backup, it's stored in your phone folder.

11 Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use of Alerto after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
12 Refund policy
All sales are final. Once a payment has been processed, no refunds are issued.
Any purchase you make in connection with Alerto is non-refundable. By completing a payment, you acknowledge and agree that the charge is final and that no refund, credit, or exchange will be provided after the payment has been processed. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us at contact@matris.co. Where a non-refundable policy is restricted by applicable law or by the rules of the app store through which you purchased, those requirements will prevail.
