Our Core Promise

We never sell, share, rent, or trade your personal data or financial data with any third party, advertiser, or data broker — ever. Your hisab is your private information, and it stays that way.

1. Who We Are

Theobrowz (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website at https://theobrowz.com and the web application at app.theobrowz.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

Your email address (used for login and communication)

We automatically collect basic usage data to improve our service:

Pages visited, features used, and actions taken within the app

2.3 Cashbook Data

The cashbook entries, workspace names, and other financial records you create are stored securely in our database and are accessible only to you and collaborators you explicitly invite.

2.4 Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our website (pages viewed, devices used, traffic sources). This data is anonymised and used only to improve the product. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using browser extensions such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Data Sharing

We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

With collaborators you invite: When you share a workspace, invited users can see the data in that workspace according to the permissions you set.
With service providers: We use trusted third-party services (cloud hosting, database providers) to operate our service. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and cannot use it for their own purposes.
When required by law: We may disclose information if required by a valid legal order, court order, or governmental authority.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security practices including HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, password hashing (bcrypt), access controls, and regular security reviews. While no system is 100% secure, we take every reasonable step to protect your data.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information and cashbook data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
