PRIVACY
Privacy isn't a feature. It's a fundamental right. Here's exactly how Mate protects yours.
WHAT'S YOURS IS YOURS
Your financial data is sensitive, and we believe it should never leave your device unless you explicitly choose to export it.
No accounts. No servers. No tracking. Just your data, encrypted and secure on your device.
OUR CORE PRINCIPLES
Three simple rules that govern everything we do
Zero Data Collection
No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Your data never leaves your device.
Offline-First
Works completely offline. No internet connection required or used.
Full Transparency
Clear, honest privacy practices. No hidden data collection.
DATA WE NEVER COLLECT
Here's a comprehensive list of everything we don't collect, store, or have access to.
No personal information or email addresses
No transaction details or financial data
No server-side storage of any kind
No access to contacts, photos, or files
All your data is stored in a secure, encrypted database exclusively on your device.
