Your privacy matters to us at Plan-Note

Last updated: January 15, 2025

1 Information We Collect

At Plan-Note, we collect information to provide better budgeting services and improve your financial planning experience. When you create an account, we gather basic details like your name, email address, and chosen password. We also collect budget data you input, including income amounts, expense categories, and financial goals.

Automatic Information Collection

Our system automatically records certain information when you use Plan-Note. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and usage patterns within our app. We track which features you use most often to understand how we can make the platform more helpful.

Financial Data We Process

  • Monthly income and salary information you provide
  • Expense categories and spending amounts you track
  • Budget goals and financial targets you set
  • Payment method details for premium subscriptions
  • Transaction patterns for budgeting insights

2 How We Use Your Information

Your personal and financial data helps us deliver personalized budgeting recommendations and insights. We analyze your spending patterns to suggest better ways to manage your money and reach your financial goals faster.

Important: We never sell your personal financial information to third parties. Your budget data stays private and is only used to improve your Plan-Note experience.

Service Improvement

We use aggregated, anonymous data to enhance Plan-Note features. For example, if many users struggle with a particular expense category, we might develop better tools for that area. Your individual information remains confidential during this process.

3 Information Sharing and Disclosure

Plan-Note follows strict guidelines about sharing user information. We only share data in specific, limited circumstances that directly benefit your service experience or comply with legal requirements.

Third-Party Service Providers

We work with trusted partners who help us operate Plan-Note effectively. These include cloud hosting providers, payment processors, and customer support tools. All partners must follow the same privacy standards we maintain and can only use your data for specified services.

  • Payment processing companies for subscription billing
  • Cloud storage providers for secure data backup
  • Analytics services for app performance monitoring
  • Customer support platforms for help requests

Legal Compliance

Under Vietnam's data protection laws and international regulations, we may need to disclose information when legally required. This happens rarely and only involves specific legal processes like court orders or government investigations related to fraud or security threats.

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide Plan-Note services and comply with legal obligations. Different types of data have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements.

Retention Periods

Active account data remains available while you use Plan-Note. After account deletion, we remove most personal information within 30 days. However, we may retain some data for up to 7 years for tax records and fraud prevention, as required by Vietnam financial regulations.
