Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 4, 2026
Overview
Aware is a local-first application. All data processing happens on your device. We do not have servers that store your financial data.
Permissions requested
READ_SMS
Aware requests permission to read SMS messages for the sole purpose of parsing transaction notifications from:
- MTN Mobile Money (sender ID: "MTN Mobile Money")
- Airtel Money Uganda (sender ID: "Airtel Money UG")
Aware reads only the transaction amount, recipient/sender name, reference number, and timestamp from these specific messages. No other SMS messages are read, accessed, or stored.
Data storage
All transaction data is stored in an encrypted SQLite database on your Android device (using Android's standard SQLite encryption via SQLCipher). This data:
- Never leaves your device
- Is not backed up to any cloud service
- Is not shared with any third party
- Is deleted permanently when you uninstall the app
Analytics (website only)
This website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and privacy-first. It collects no personal data and sets no cookies. No GDPR consent banner is needed because no personal data is collected. Cloudflare's privacy policy governs this data.
Waitlist email (if you sign up)
If you submit your email through our waitlist form, we store it in a database managed by Cloudflare (our hosting provider) and use Resend to send you a confirmation email. We use this email only for Aware product updates. We do not sell or share it. You can request deletion at any time by emailing hello@useaware.app.

Aware is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
