Your data stays on your iPhone
Privacy Policy
Plain-language overview of what the app stores on your iPhone and what it does not collect.
Last updated: May 21, 2026 ยท Effective: May 21, 2026
1. About this app
Daily Expense is a personal finance tracker for iPhone. It helps you record income and expenses, view reports, and optionally receive a bedtime reminder.
This privacy policy explains what information stays on your phone, what the app never asks for, and how you can control your data. Apple requires a privacy policy URL for apps on the App Store โ this page fulfills that requirement in clear terms.
2. At a glance
- No sign-in โ no account, email, or password in the app.
- On your iPhone only โ transactions and settings are saved locally on your device.
- No ads or data sales โ your spending details are not sold or used for advertising.
- No bank linking โ you enter amounts yourself; the app does not connect to banks.
- Notifications are optional โ bedtime reminders only run if you turn them on in Settings.
3. Information we process
3.1 Data you enter in the app
You may provide:
- Transaction amounts, categories (tags), notes, and dates
- Optional display name for the home greeting
- App preferences (currency, appearance, bedtime time, notification and insights toggles)
This information is stored locally in the appโs private storage on your iPhone (Application Support), protected with iOS file protection where supported.
3.2 Automatically processed on device
The app calculates summaries (totals, category breakdowns, weekly comparisons) on your device from your transactions. Nothing is uploaded to a developer server for storage or sync.
3.3 What the app does not collect
Daily Expense does not ask for:
- Email or password (no in-app account)
- Bank or card credentials
- Precise location
- Contacts, photos, or microphone
- Advertising identifiers for cross-app tracking
4. Notifications
If you enable Bedtime Reminder, iOS may ask permission to show notifications at the time you choose. Reminders are scheduled on your phone only โ not from an online server using your transaction data.
You can disable notifications anytime in the app or in iOS Settings โ Notifications โ Daily Expense.
5. Data retention
The app retains transaction history for up to two (2) months, after which older transactions may be deleted automatically. Settings persist until you delete the app or reset data.
Deleting the app from your iPhone removes locally stored app data unless you restore from an iPhone backup.
6. Sharing with others
Your transaction list is not shared with advertisers or sold to data brokers. The app does not sync your entries to a cloud service operated for Daily Expense.
You choose what to share yourself (for example, if you export a screenshot or use iPhone backup). Installing and updating the app is done through the Apple App Store, which has its own privacy terms.
7. Children
Daily Expense is meant for general personal use, not specifically for children under 13. The app does not create online profiles for users. If a child uses the app on a family device, a parent can delete entries or remove the app to clear local data.
8. Security
The app is designed as a local-first tracker. Measures include:
- Storing data in the app sandbox on iOS
- Using file protection for persisted files where available
- Validating and limiting user input (e.g. amount and note length)
No method of storage is 100% secure. Protect your device with a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID.
9. Your choices and rights
Depending on your region, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information. Because data is stored on your device, you can:
- Edit or delete individual transactions in the app
- Change or clear preferences in Settings
- Delete the app to remove local app data

10. Where your data lives
Everything you enter stays on the iPhone you use. The app does not copy your transaction database to a remote server for backup or analytics.
11. Updates to this page
If features or data practices change (for example, cloud backup in a future version), this page will be updated and the date at the top revised. Please check back after major app updates.
