Surge Account keeps everything you enter on your own device. We never receive it. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party code that collects anything.
Who we are
Surge Account is made by Travis Lyle Robinson, in Idaho, United States (“we”). Questions about this policy: surgeaccount@protonmail.com.
What the app keeps, and where
Everything you enter is stored only in the app’s own storage on your device:
your bills, income sources and pay, and the plan you set up (the tank, pipelines, set-asides, the silo, the ladder);
the amounts you record — spending, pay, moves between your accounts, account balances — with any notes you type;
the months you have run and confirmed, and the free months you have earned;
your shopping list and any trip still on the store calculator’s tape;
your settings: level, colours, currency, sales tax, and when you last saved a backup;
the same for each business you add, kept apart from your household and from each other.
What leaves your device
Nothing, unless you send it. The app makes no network requests of its own. In particular, nothing you enter is ever sent to us or to anyone else.
The only ways anything leaves are ones you start:
Backups. When you save or share a backup file, it goes where you send it — your files, an email, a cloud drive. From then on it is covered by wherever you put it.
Buying the full app. Payment is handled entirely by Google Play or the Apple App Store, under their own privacy policies. They tell the app only whether a subscription is active. They may give us sales records as their terms allow; they never give us anything you enter in the app, because we never have it.
Writing to us. If you email us, we receive what you choose to send and use it only to reply.
What we do not do
We do not collect, sell, share or rent any personal information.
No advertising, no analytics, no crash reporting, no tracking across apps or websites.
No account and no sign-in. We do not know who uses the app.
The app asks for no device permissions — not your location, contacts, camera, microphone or photos.
Keeping it safe
Your figures are protected by your device’s own lock and storage protections. Use a screen lock.
A backup file is not encrypted. Anyone who has the file can read it. Keep backups somewhere you trust.
If you uninstall the app, clear its data, or lose your phone
Your figures are gone, and nobody can bring them back. There is no copy on a server — that is the point — so we cannot restore anything. A backup file you saved can be loaded into the app on any device to carry on where you left off.
The app reminds you to save a backup when you have never saved one, or when the last one is a month old and out of date.
Your choices
See and change everything in the app at any time.
Take a full copy with Backup in the settings cog.
Delete everything with Start again in the settings cog, or by uninstalling the app.
Because we hold none of your information, there is nothing for us to give you, correct or delete — it is all already in your hands.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and it collects nothing from anyone.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be in the app and on this page with a new date. A change that means anything would leave your device would be said plainly in the app before it happened. This is version 1, effective October 29, 2026.
