Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 21, 2026
1. Introduction
Neon ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the Neon application ("App").
2. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
- Account information (email address, username)
- Financial data you enter (transactions, account balances, budgets, categories)
- Scheduled payment details
- AI chat interactions within the App
Information Collected Automatically
- Device information (device type, operating system version)
- App usage data (feature usage, session duration)
- Crash reports and performance data
3. Notification Data (Android)
On Android devices, if you enable automatic payment detection, the App requires notification listener permission which grants access to all device notifications. The App filters notifications and only processes those from a predefined list of known financial and banking apps. Notifications from all other apps are immediately discarded and are not stored, processed, or transmitted.
Notification content (sender, title, message text) is processed locally and via AI services solely to extract transaction details. Neon does not store raw notification content beyond the time needed for processing. No notification data is shared with third parties except as necessary for AI-powered transaction parsing. You may disable this feature at any time through the App settings.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide and maintain the App's core functionality
- Process and categorize your financial transactions
- Power AI features for expense logging and insights
- Generate statistics and budget reports
- Improve the App's performance and user experience
- Send important notifications about your account or scheduled payments
5. Analytics and Tracking
We use third-party analytics services to understand how the App is used and to improve our services. Currently, we use:
- PostHog for product analytics (feature usage, session data, screen views)
Analytics data is collected in aggregated or pseudonymized form where possible. You can learn more about PostHog's data practices at their privacy policy. Analytics data is retained for up to 14 months.
6. Authentication and Third-Party Services
If you sign in using a third-party service such as Google or Apple, we receive limited information from that provider, including your user ID, email address, and display name. We do not receive or store your third-party account password.
The App may integrate with the following third-party services:
- Google Sign-In / Apple Sign-In for authentication
- Google Drive for cloud backup (only if you opt in)
- RevenueCat for subscription management
- PostHog for analytics
- Google AI services for transaction parsing and AI features
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing their policies for details on how they handle your data.
7. Cloud Backup and Sync
If you enable cloud backup, your financial data is synced to your personal Google Drive account. This data is stored in your own Google Drive storage and is subject to Google's privacy policy and security measures. You can disable cloud sync at any time and delete cloud-stored data from within the App.
8. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions
Subscription purchases are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not directly collect or store your payment card details. We receive transaction confirmation data (purchase status, subscription period, transaction ID) through RevenueCat to manage your subscription status. Payment processing is subject to Apple's or Google's respective privacy policies.
9. Data Storage and Security
Your financial data is stored locally on your device and, if you opt in to cloud sync, on secure encrypted servers. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
10. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal or financial data to third parties. We may share data only in the following circumstances:
- With your explicit consent
- To comply with legal obligations
- With service providers who assist in operating the App (under strict data protection agreements)
- To protect the rights, safety, or property of Neon or its users
11. AI Data Processing
When you use the AI Terminal feature, your input is processed to categorize transactions and provide financial insights. AI interactions are processed securely and are not used to train third-party models. You can delete your AI chat history at any time within the App.
12. Data Processing Location
Your data may be processed in servers located outside your country of residence. When data is transferred across borders, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws. AI processing of transaction data may involve servers located in the United States or European Union.
13. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Export your data in a portable format
- Withdraw consent for data processing
- Object to certain types of data processing
14. Your Right to Delete Data
You can delete your data at any time by:
- Deleting individual transactions, accounts, or categories within the App
- Deleting your AI chat history within the App
- Deleting your cloud backup data through the App settings
- Deleting your account entirely, which will remove all associated data within 30 days
15. Legal Basis for Processing (EU/EEA Users)
If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:
- Consent: When you opt in to features such as cloud sync, notification access, or analytics
- Contract: When processing is necessary to provide the App's services to you
- Legitimate Interest: When processing is necessary to improve the App, ensure security, or prevent fraud
You may withdraw your consent at any time by disabling the relevant feature or contacting us.
16. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the App's services. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
17. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
18. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the App or via email. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
