For the purposes of UK data protection law, Vyme App is the data controller of the personal data processed through Vyme.
Vyme is a manual-entry spending awareness app.
Vyme does not connect to your bank account, import bank transactions, check your salary, verify purchases, provide payment services, or provide regulated financial advice.
Users manually enter information into the app, such as income or hourly rate, working hours, spending entries, savings entries and categories. These entries may represent real purchases, planned purchases, estimated purchases, or example entries created by the user.
Vyme uses this information to calculate and display the time cost of spending, helping users think more consciously about money and time.
We may collect the following types of information.
If you create an account or sign up to use Vyme, we may collect your email address, account ID, login information, account creation date, and app settings linked to your account. We use this to create and manage your account and allow you to access your information.
If you join the Vyme waitlist, we may collect your email address, date and time of sign-up, and referral or waitlist position information. We use this to manage the waitlist and send launch updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us.

If you contact us for help or feedback, we may collect your email address, your message, and any information you choose to include. We use this to respond to you and resolve support requests.
