Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 July 2026

This policy explains what Elien Accountant ("Elien", "we") collects, why, and what happens to it. It describes the app as it is actually built.

Elien is operated by Al Shareek Al Tiqni Company for Computer Import (شركة الشريك التقني لاستيراد الحاسب الآلي), Al-Falah, near the traffic light, Tripoli, Libya. Contact: info@elien.com.ly.

1. What we collect

Account information

Information you enter

Technical information

We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking. Elien contains no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, and no third-party tracking or profiling. We do not sell or rent your data to anyone.

2. Where your data is stored

WhereWhat
Google Firebase (Firestore) Your account profile, organization settings, accounts and transaction records. Hosted by Google.
On your device An offline copy of your records so the app works without internet, plus your preferences, your app passcode, and any receipt photos.
Your own Google Drive Only if you use the backup feature. Backups go to your Drive, not ours — we cannot read them.

Receipt photos stay on your device

Photos you attach to records are stored only on the device you took them on. They are not uploaded to our servers and do not sync between devices. If you log out, reset the app, or clear your browser data, attached photos are permanently lost. Export or back up anything you need to keep.

Your passcode

If you set an app passcode, it is stored on your device and never sent to us. If biometric unlock is enabled, it is held in your device's secure keystore. The passcode protects the app on your device; it does not encrypt your data.

3. Services we rely on

Optional: linked tasks app

If you choose to connect the companion tasks app, Elien sends details of your overdue records (the record name, amount, currency, category, due date, any note, and the related account name) to that separate service so it can create reminders. This happens only if you connect it, and you can disconnect at any time in Settings.

4. Sharing with other people

You may share a single account or a whole wallet with someone else, using their phone number or email address. When they accept, they can see the data you shared, and if you granted "edit" permission they can also change it. You can revoke access at any time in Settings. We never share your data with other users unless you set up a share yourself.

5. Device permissions

PermissionWhy
CameraTo scan the login QR code and to photograph receipts. Images are processed on your device.
Fingerprint / biometricsOptional unlock of the app. We never receive your biometric data — it stays with your device's operating system.
NotificationsDue-date reminders you set, and occasional service notices.

Elien does not request access to your contacts, location, SMS or call logs.

6. Security — and its limits

Your data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and stored on Google Firebase, which encrypts data at rest on its servers. Access to your account requires your phone or Google sign-in.

Please be clear about what this does not mean. Elien does not add its own end-to-end encryption on top of that. Your records are stored in a form our systems can read, and data held locally on your device is not separately encrypted by the app. Anyone with access to your unlocked device may be able to read locally stored data. No service can promise perfect security.

7. Keeping and deleting your data

8. Your rights

You can ask us to give you a copy of your data, correct it, or delete it. Write to info@elien.com.ly from the email or phone number on your account and we will respond within 30 days.

9. Children

Elien is a business tool and is not directed at children. Do not use it if you are under 18.

10. Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top and, for significant changes, notify you in the app.
