Your choice can be changed anytime in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

- ❌ Your actual expense data or financial information
- ❌ Personal identifiable information (email, name, phone number)
- ❌ Content you create within the App

Why We Use Facebook SDK:
- To measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns

Data Sharing:
The Facebook SDK automatically sends the above event data to Facebook's servers for advertising analytics purposes. This data is processed according to [Meta's Data Policy](https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/).
Important: We use Facebook SDK only for advertising analytics. We do NOT use Facebook Login, and you do not need a Facebook account to use our
Opt-Out Options:
You can limit Facebook tracking by:
1. Denying App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission when prompted
2. Disabling "Allow Apps to Request to Track" in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking
3. Limiting Ad Tracking in iOS Settings (iOS 13 and earlier)
Even if you opt out, we still receive aggregated, anonymized conversion data that helps us improve the App, but Facebook cannot use your data for personalized advertising.
