Mandede is a personal and household finance app built and operated by Christopher Phiri (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information Mandede collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. It applies to the Mandede mobile app and this website.
This policy is effective as of 2026-09-17.
Account information. When you create a Mandede account we collect your name, email address, and password. Passwords are stored as salted hashes, never in plain text. We also issue authentication session tokens, which are stored securely on your device.
Financial data you enter. Mandede is a finance tracker, so the core of the service is data you choose to enter: accounts, transactions, budgets, categories, goals, bills, loans, contacts, and household/group memberships (including invites you send or accept). This data is stored on our servers so it can sync across your devices and be shared with household members you explicitly invite.
Technical data. To keep the app working reliably, we automatically collect limited technical information: device model and operating system version, app version, network connectivity status, and basic request logs (such as IP address, timestamp, and endpoint) generated when the app communicates with our servers. We use this only to operate, debug, and secure the service.
What we do not collect. Mandede does not request access to your camera, microphone, photo library, device storage, or contacts. We do not use advertising SDKs, and we do not run analytics or crash-reporting SDKs inside the app.
We use the information above to:
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
We do not share your personal or financial data with third parties for their own marketing or advertising purposes. Limited data is processed by infrastructure providers strictly to operate the service:
We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Mandede, our users, or others.
If you join or create a household/group within Mandede, other members you’ve connected with may be able to see financial data you choose to share within that group (for example, shared budgets, bills, or settlements). Data outside a shared context remains visible only to your account.
You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time, from within the app (Profile → Delete account and data) or by visiting mandede.cphiri.dev/delete-account — no sign-in required. Within 30 days of a verified request we permanently delete your account, sessions, profile, and financial records from our active systems. Residual backups expire within 90 days. Full details, including limited legal-retention exceptions, are on the account deletion page.
We use commercially reasonable measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) between the app and our servers and hashed password storage. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Mandede is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the email below.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page and update the effective date above.
