Privacy Policy

Effective 30/10/2026. Last updated 30/10/2026.

GigJar ("GigJar", "we", "us") is run by Chew Kai He Dillon in Singapore. This policy explains what personal data the GigJar app and website collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. We follow Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA).

The short version: we collect what you put into GigJar so the app can work. We don't show ads, and we don't sell your data or use it for advertising.

1. What we collect

Data	Where it comes from	Why we use it
Account details: first name, email address, password (stored only as a secure hash)	You, when you sign up	To create and secure your account, and to send password-reset codes
Money you log: spending and income entries, categories, notes, freelance earnings, client names, budget and savings figures	You	To show your totals, charts and tips, and to run the money coach
Jobs: titles, clients, places, times, expected pay, notes	You	To show your jobs calendar and, if you choose, add them to Google Calendar
Money-coach chats: your questions and the answers	You	To answer your questions and keep the conversation in context
Buddies and challenges: who you're connected with and which challenges you've joined	You and your buddies	To run the social features
Google Calendar access (only if you connect it)	Google, with your permission	To add, update and remove the events for your GigJar jobs
Subscription status: whether you have Premium and until when	Apple or Google, through RevenueCat	To unlock Premium features
Technical data: IP address, device and request information in server logs	Your device, automatically	To keep the service secure (for example, to block password-guessing) and to fix problems

We don't ask for your bank or card details. Payments for Premium are handled entirely by Apple or Google.

2. Who can see your data

Your buddies see your first name, logging streak and habit score. They see your monthly money in, money out and savings rate only if you turn on "Share monthly totals with buddies" in Settings. Challenge members see only percentages and day counts, never amounts.

Service providers process data for us to run GigJar. We share only what each needs:

Provider	What for	Data involved
Render	Hosting the GigJar server and website	All app data passes through it
Neon	Database	All stored app data
Anthropic (Claude)	The money coach	Your question, recent chat messages, and a summary of your finances in GigJar (budget, totals by category, recent entries, unpaid invoices, upcoming jobs). Your email address is not sent.
Google	Google Calendar sync, only if you connect it	Event details for your jobs
RevenueCat, Apple, Google Play	Premium subscriptions	Your GigJar user ID and purchase records
Resend	Sending password-reset emails	Your email address and first name

We may also disclose data if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of users or the public.

3. Data stored outside Singapore

Some of these providers store or process data outside Singapore, for example in the United States. When we transfer data overseas, we use providers that are bound by contract to protect it to a standard comparable to the PDPA.

4. Google user data

If you connect Google Calendar, GigJar asks only for permission to manage calendar events. We use it only to create, update and delete events for jobs you schedule in GigJar. We don't read your other events, and we don't use Google data for advertising or share it except as needed to provide this feature. GigJar's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can disconnect at any time in GigJar's Settings or in your Google Account.

5. How long we keep data

● Your account and everything in it: until you delete your account.

● Money-coach chats: until you clear the chat or delete your account.

● Password-reset codes: 15 minutes.

● Server logs: up to 30 days.

● Database backups: deleted data may remain in backups for up to 7 days before it's overwritten.

6. Your choices and rights

● See and correct your data in the app at any time, or ask us for a copy.

● Export a year of entries as a spreadsheet (Premium), or ask us for a copy.

● Withdraw consent and delete everything in Settings > Delete account. This erases your account and data straight away. If you have Premium, cancel your subscription with Apple or Google too.

● Stop sharing monthly totals with buddies, remove buddies, leave challenges, clear the coach chat, or disconnect Google Calendar, all in the app.

7. Security

Data travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Passwords are stored only as secure hashes, reset codes are stored hashed, and we limit repeated login attempts. No system is perfectly secure. If a data breach is likely to cause you significant harm, we'll tell you and the Personal Data Protection Commission as the PDPA requires.

8. Children

GigJar isn't meant for children under 13. If you're under 18, please get a parent's or guardian's permission before using GigJar or buying Premium.

9. Changes to this policy

If we make important changes, we'll tell you in the app before they take effect. The date at the top shows when this policy last changed.
