Privacy Policy - BritWealth UK | Data Protection Notice

1. Introduction & Overview

Welcome to BritWealth UK (referred to as "the App", "we", "us", or "our"), developed by Shuttle Technologies. We are committed to safeguarding your personal data and upholding the highest standards of user privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how our application operates, our strict on-device data processing model, and our compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and Google Play Developer Policies.

Core Privacy Guarantee: BritWealth UK is designed with an "Offline-First, Zero-Knowledge" architecture. All calculations—including Stamp Duty (SDLT), Lifetime ISA bonuses, mortgage borrowing, Capital Gains Tax, and Buy-to-Let yields—are executed 100% locally on your device. We do not require account registration, and your financial data never leaves your device.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Unlike traditional financial apps, BritWealth UK does not harvest, store, or transmit your private financial parameters:

No Financial Data: We never transmit or store your property prices, applicant incomes, monthly debts, rental figures, or tax deductions.
No Personal Identifiers: We do not collect your name, physical address, national insurance number, banking details, or phone number.
No Account Credentials: No sign-up, email login, or passwords are ever required to use our suite.

3. Local Data Storage & Preferences

To deliver a personalized user experience across app sessions, the App utilizes secure on-device local storage (Android SharedPreferences / iOS NSUserDefaults) to store your preferred settings:

Selected Visual Theme Palette (e.g., Cyber Westminster, High-Street Light, System Default).
Selected Interface Language (from our 26 supported languages).
Selected HMRC Tax Year (2025/26, 2024/25, or 2023/24).
Your most recent input values for convenient recalculation upon app reopen.

This data remains strictly on your local device hardware and is never synced to external servers or third parties.

4. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)

BritWealth UK is provided as a free utility funded by non-intrusive native banner advertising through Google AdMob. Google AdMob may collect and process pseudonymous device-level data to serve relevant advertisements:

Advertising ID (Google Advertising ID / GAID).
Device information (hardware model, operating system version).
General location data (at a coarse country or regional level).

For more information on how Google processes advertising data, please review the Google Privacy & Terms Policy.

5. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018, you possess statutory rights regarding your personal information:

Right to Erasure: You can instantly wipe all locally stored preferences by clearing the App's storage cache or uninstalling the application.
Right to Opt-Out of Ad Personalization: You can reset or delete your Google Advertising ID at any time via your device's Android Settings > Google > Ads.

6. Children's Privacy

BritWealth UK is intended for adult taxpayers, homebuyers, and financial planners. We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or process any personal data from children under the age of 13.
