What we collect when you report
When you submit feedback from the app, Big Picture Money includes a small set of non-sensitive diagnostics so maintainers can reproduce problems. You can review everything on the review screen before submit.
Diagnostics you can review
| Field | Example | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| App version | 2026.1.42 | Match the report to a specific build |
| Operating system | Windows 11 | Reproduce platform-specific issues |
| Build channel | stable or nightly | Tell release builds from preview builds |
| Current page | Budget or Transactions | Know which screen you were on |
| Edition year | 2026 | When a license is active |
Your contact email
Your email is required. Big Picture Money stores it so maintainers can follow up.
What is never collected automatically
- Your passphrase or unlock state
- Account names, balances, or transaction text
- Your database file path
- API keys, bank credentials, or license keys
- Full transaction exports
