Privacy Policy

TL;DR

  • We don't want your data. We don’t store it, we don’t see it, and we definitely don’t sell it.

  • Your Money, Your Drive. All your financial data lives in a private spreadsheet on your Google Drive. We don't have the keys to your house.

  • Ephemeral OCR. When you scan a receipt, the image is converted to text and immediately deleted. It exists for a millisecond, then it’s gone.

  • Sovereignty. You are in control. If you want to wipe everything, you can do it in the app with one tap.

Most privacy policies are designed to hide what a company is doing with your data.
This one is designed to show you that we don’t want your data at all.
S-Studio 26 is built on the principle of Local Sovereignty.

1. The Core Philosophy

We don’t own your data. We don’t even store it. The Drip App is a bridge between your bank and your own Google Drive.
We are the architects of the bridge; we do not sit at the toll booth watching who passes.

2. What We Collect (And Why We Don't)

  • Email Addresses: If you subscribe to S-STUDIO 26 services, we use your Gmail/Google login to manage your subscription.

  • Financial Data: We do not store your transactions. The Drip App creates a private spreadsheet inside your own Google Drive.

  • The "No-Access" Promise: S-Studio 26 does not have "backdoor" access to your Drive or your spreadsheets.
    Your financial "Flow" is between you and your Google account.

3. Third-Party Ecosystem

To make the magic happen, we use world-class infrastructure. Their privacy rules apply to their specific parts of the "bridge":

  • Firebase (Google): Handles the app’s technical framework and secure authentication.

  • Google App Store / Apple App Store: Handles the distribution and payment processing.

  • Google APIs: Facilitates the creation of your private spreadsheet.

  • Google Vision API (OCR): When you scan a document, the image and metadata are sent through a secure API for text conversion. This is an ephemeral process: once the text is extracted and sent to your spreadsheet, the image is immediately deleted from the processing stream. We do not store, see, or "train" on your images.

4. Data Retention (The "Wipe" Rule)

Since we don't store your data on our servers, there is nothing for us to "sell" or "lose."

  • In-App Reset: If you want to start over, you can Reset Onboarding within the app. This wipes the local app state immediately and drive folder information.

  • Google Drive: You remain in total control of the files created in your Drive. You can delete them at any time without our permission.

5. Australian Privacy Principles (APP)

As an Australian entity, we comply with the Privacy Act 1988. While we collect the bare minimum required to keep your subscription active, you have the right to ask us what we have. (Spoiler: It’s likely just your email address).

6. International Data Transfers

While S-Studio 26 is based in Australia, our third-party infrastructure providers (Google Firebase and Google Cloud) operate global server networks. By using the app, you acknowledge that your encrypted authentication data and ephemeral OCR processing may occur on servers located outside of Australia, primarily in the United States, under Google’s industry-leading security protocols.

7. Policy Evolution

As S-Studio 26 grows, we may update this manifesto. If we make significant changes to how we handle the (very little) data we have, we will notify you via a prominent notice within the Drip App. Your continued use of the app after an update constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.

8. Contact Us

No robots. No "support tickets." To request a manual deletion of any account-related data (like your subscription email), contact the humans at hello@sstudio26.com. We will process all requests within 30 days.
