Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE — fill in when published]

This Privacy Policy explains how Rent Ledger ("the App", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our mobile application for managing rental properties, tenants, and rent payments.

1. Who We Are

Rent Ledger is developed by [YOUR COMPANY NAME — e.g. SmartEdge]. If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact us at [YOUR CONTACT EMAIL].

2. Information We Collect

• Phone number — used to create and secure your account, and to log you in.
• Name — yours, and the names of tenants and staff (watchmen) you add to the app.
• Property and financial records — buildings, flats, tenancy details, rent payments, expenses, and salary records you enter into the app.
• Device and usage information — basic technical information needed to operate the app reliably (e.g. app version, device type).

We do not collect this information for advertising purposes, and we do not sell your information to third parties.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide the core functionality of the app — tracking rent, tenants, and payments.
• To authenticate you (log-in codes sent by SMS, and optionally email).
• To notify staff members (watchmen) when they are given access to manage a property on your behalf.
• To maintain the security and integrity of the service.

4. Third-Party Services We Use

We rely on the following trusted service providers to operate the app. Each processes only the data necessary for their specific function:

• Supabase — hosts our database and handles secure account authentication.
• Twilio — delivers SMS messages (login codes, invitations, payment reminders you choose to send).
• [ADD: your email service provider, once selected]

5. Data Retention

We retain your account and property/financial records for as long as your account is active, so that your rent-tracking history remains available to you. If you delete your account (see our Account Deletion page), we will delete or anonymize your personal data, except where we are required to retain certain financial records for a limited period for legitimate business or legal record-keeping purposes.

6. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us at [YOUR CONTACT EMAIL].

7. Children's Privacy

Rent Ledger is intended for use by adults managing rental properties and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page with an updated revision date.
