Política de Privacidad

Última actualización: 28 de octubre de 2026

Contalo es una aplicación de finanzas personales desarrollada por Luvasoft (Ecuador). Esta política explica qué datos tratamos, para qué, y qué control tienes sobre ellos. La escribimos para que se entienda, sin letra pequeña.

1. Qué datos recogemos

2. Para qué los usamos

No vendemos tus datos. No mostramos publicidad. No compartimos tus datos con terceros con fines comerciales.

3. Inteligencia artificial

Los consejos de Contalo se generan con Claude (Anthropic). Para ello enviamos resúmenes agregados de tu actividad (totales por categoría, deudas activas, metas), nunca el contenido de tus correos. Anthropic no usa estos datos para entrenar sus modelos según sus términos de API.

También usamos Claude para interpretar el texto de los mensajes que mandas a nuestro asistente por WhatsApp y para leer fotos de recibos que escaneas dentro de la app o mandas por WhatsApp: se procesan solo para extraer el gasto (comercio, monto, fecha). Las imágenes nunca se guardan, ni en disco ni en la base de datos.

No entrenamos modelos con tus datos. Luvasoft no usa la información de tu correo — Gmail, Outlook o IMAP — ni tus movimientos, ni las fotos de recibos que nos mandas, para desarrollar, entrenar ni mejorar modelos de inteligencia artificial, propios ni de terceros. Tampoco los vendemos ni los cedemos a nadie con ese fin.

Datos de Google (Gmail). El uso y la transferencia a cualquier otra aplicación de la información que Contalo recibe de las APIs de Google se ajustará a la Política de Datos de Usuario de los Servicios de API de Google, incluidos los requisitos de Uso Limitado. (Contalo's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.) En concreto: usamos el acceso de solo lectura a tu Gmail únicamente para detectar tus alertas bancarias y registrar tus gastos dentro de Contalo; no usamos esa información para publicidad, no la vendemos y no la usamos para entrenar modelos de inteligencia artificial.

4. Dónde viven tus datos y cómo los protegemos

5. Tus controles

6. Tus derechos sobre tus datos

La legislación ecuatoriana de protección de datos personales te reconoce derechos sobre la información que tratamos. Puedes ejercer todos estos:

La mayoría los ejerces tú directamente desde la app, sin pedirnos permiso ni esperar. Para cualquier otra solicitud, escríbenos a support@contalo.live desde el correo de tu cuenta y te respondemos dentro de los plazos que fija la ley.

Base del tratamiento: tratamos tus datos con tu consentimiento, que das al crear la cuenta y, por separado, al conectar tu correo o tu WhatsApp. Puedes retirarlo en cualquier momento desconectando esos servicios o eliminando tu cuenta.

7. Retención

Conservamos tus datos mientras tengas cuenta activa. Si pides la eliminación, se borran de forma permanente; solo pueden persistir copias de seguridad técnicas por un período corto antes de rotarse.

El historial de tus conversaciones con Talo (en el chat de la app y por WhatsApp) se recorta automáticamente a los últimos 20 mensajes en cada turno nuevo — lo que sobra se borra al momento, no se acumula. Esto es aparte de tus gastos e ingresos registrados, que no tienen este límite y se conservan mientras tengas cuenta.

El historial de tus conversaciones con Talo (en el chat de la app y por WhatsApp) se recorta automáticamente a los últimos 20 mensajes en cada turno nuevo: lo que sobra se borra al momento, no se acumula. Además, cualquier conversación completa se borra definitivamente a los 7 días de su último mensaje, la hayas seguido usando o no. Esto es aparte de tus gastos e ingresos registrados, que no tienen este límite y se conservan mientras tengas cuenta.

8. Menores

Contalo está dirigida a personas mayores de 18 años. Usarla supone tener una cuenta bancaria a tu nombre. No está dirigida a menores de edad y no recogemos datos de menores a sabiendas.

9. Cambios a esta política

Si cambiamos el manejo de datos, actualizaremos esta página y la fecha de arriba. Los cambios importantes se avisarán dentro de la app.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 28, 2026

Contalo is a personal-finance app developed by Luvasoft (Ecuador). This policy explains what data we handle, why, and what control you have over it. We wrote it to be understood, no fine print.

1. What data we collect

  • Your account: name and email, via Google or Apple sign-in, or with email and password. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we never receive your password. If you sign up with email and password, it is handled by our authentication provider (Supabase), which stores it encrypted; we never see it.
  • Bank notification emails (Gmail and/or Outlook, read-only): if you authorize it, we read only bank spending-alert emails (e.g. Banco Pichincha, Diners, Produbanco, DeUna) to log your expenses automatically, from your Gmail account, your Outlook/Hotmail/Live account, or both at once. We don't read personal emails, don't send emails, and don't delete anything: the permission is read-only and filtering targets bank senders exclusively.
  • Email via IMAP (optional): if you connect a provider other than Gmail/Outlook (e.g. your own email hosting), we store the host, your username, and the password you enter (encrypted at rest, same as Gmail/Outlook tokens) to read only those same bank alert emails, with the same read-only approach.
  • WhatsApp number (optional): if you link it from Settings, you can log expenses by messaging our assistant on WhatsApp or sending it a photo of a receipt. The text of your messages and any photos you send there are processed to extract the expense (see section 3).
  • Your financial data inside the app: expenses, income, budgets, debts, savings goals, and categories you record or that are derived from your bank emails.
  • Language and preferences for the app.
  • Activity days: the day you open the app (one record per day, with no time or location), to calculate your streaks.
  • Device notification token, if you enable notifications: we hand it to Expo (a third-party service), which only receives that token in order to deliver the alert, never your financial data.
  • Subscription status, if you go Pro: managed by RevenueCat, an intermediary between Contalo and the app stores (Apple App Store / Google Play) that validates your purchase and confirms to us whether your plan is still active. RevenueCat does not receive your financial data, only your account identifier and the purchase status.

2. What we use it for

We don't sell your data. We don't show ads. We don't share your data with third parties for commercial purposes.

3. Artificial intelligence

Contalo's tips are generated using Claude (Anthropic). To do this, we send aggregated summaries of your activity (totals by category, active debts, goals), never the content of your emails. Anthropic does not use this data to train its models, per their API terms.

We also use Claude to interpret the text of the messages you send to our WhatsApp assistant and to read receipt photos you scan inside the app or send over WhatsApp: they are processed only to extract the expense (merchant, amount, date). Images are never stored, either on disk or in the database.

We do not train models on your data. Luvasoft does not use information from your mailbox — Gmail, Outlook or IMAP — nor your movements, nor the receipt photos you send us, to develop, train or improve artificial intelligence models, whether our own or third parties'. Nor do we sell or transfer them to anyone for that purpose.

Google user data (Gmail). Contalo's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically: we use read-only access to your Gmail only to detect your bank alerts and log your expenses inside Contalo; we don't use that information for advertising, we don't sell it, and we don't use it to train artificial intelligence models.

4. Where your data lives and how we protect it

5. Your controls

  • Disconnect Gmail, Outlook, or IMAP: anytime from the app's Settings. When you disconnect Gmail (or delete your account), we automatically revoke the permission on your Google account, you don't need to do it yourself, and you can confirm it at myaccount.google.com/permissions. For Outlook, you still need to revoke it yourself at account.live.com/consent/Manage. Once revoked, we can no longer read any email from that account.
  • Unlink WhatsApp: anytime from the app's Settings, we immediately stop receiving your messages and photos.
  • Export your data: from Settings > Export my data you can download your expenses and income as a CSV file, at any time.
  • Delete your data: from Settings > Delete my account in the app, and the deletion happens right away. If you already uninstalled the app, write to support@contalo.live from your account's email and we'll do it within 30 days. The full list of what gets deleted is at /delete-account.

6. Your rights over your data

Ecuadorian personal data protection law grants you rights over the information we process. You can exercise all of these:

  • Access: know what data of yours we hold and what we use it for. You can see it in the app, and download it from Settings → Export my data.
  • Rectification: correct inaccurate or incomplete data. Movements, categories and amounts are edited directly in the app.
  • Erasure: delete your data. From Settings → Delete my account or from /delete-account, and it happens right away.
  • Objection: ask us to stop processing your data for a specific purpose, for example disconnecting your mailbox from Settings so we stop reading bank alerts, without losing what is already recorded.
  • Portability: take your information in a reusable format. The CSV produced by Export my data serves that purpose.

You exercise most of these yourself from the app, without asking us or waiting. For any other request, write to support@contalo.live from your account's email and we'll reply within the deadlines set by law.

Basis for processing: we process your data with your consent, given when you create the account and, separately, when you connect your mailbox or your WhatsApp. You can withdraw it at any time by disconnecting those services or deleting your account.

7. Retention

We keep your data while your account is active. If you request deletion, it's permanently erased; technical backup copies may persist briefly before rotating out.

Your conversation history with Talo (in the app's chat and over WhatsApp) is automatically trimmed to the last 20 messages on every new turn — anything beyond that is deleted right away, not accumulated. This is separate from your recorded expenses and income, which have no such limit and are kept while your account is active.

Your conversation history with Talo (in the app's chat and over WhatsApp) is automatically trimmed to the last 20 messages on every new turn: anything beyond that is deleted right away, not accumulated. On top of that, an entire conversation is permanently deleted 7 days after its last message, whether you kept using it or not. This is separate from your recorded expenses and income, which have no such limit and are kept while your account is active.

8. Minors

Contalo is intended for people aged 18 and over. Using it assumes you hold a bank account in your own name. It is not directed at minors, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

9. Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle data, we'll update this page and the date above. Significant changes will be announced inside the app.
