Privacy Policy

📋 Overview

FinMap is a personal expense-tracking app, and we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how your data is handled.

📦 What data is stored?

FinMap only stores the entries you type in yourself, including:

• Amount, category and subcategory
• Notes
• Date
• If you use Split: your split groups, their expenses and settlements, and the name and photo you set for yourself (optional)

This data is stored only on your device and in your personal iCloud account.

🤝 Split and sharing

When you invite someone to a split group, that group's expenses and settlements, along with the name and photo you set, are shared with them through Apple's iCloud sharing.

• Sharing is handled by Apple iCloud; we (the developer) cannot access this data
• Only the person you invite can see the group
• You can stop sharing or delete the group at any time

💾 Backups

Backups made in the app are saved to the FinMap folder in your iCloud Drive (or on your device if iCloud Drive is off).

• Backup files stay in your own iCloud Drive or on your device; we (the developer) cannot access them
• You can delete backups in the app or in the Files app

🌐 Network connections

Apart from Apple's services (iCloud and the App Store), the app connects to only two places, and neither receives your entries or any personal information:

• Exchange rates: when you log an entry in a foreign currency, the app asks the public exchange-rate service Frankfurter (api.frankfurter.dev) for the rate, sending only the currency codes (for example JPY and TWD)
• Paywall text: the app reads the paywall's title text from this website (GitHub Pages) and sends no data

As with any network request, these services receive the information that comes with it, such as your IP address.

☁️ iCloud sync

If you turn on iCloud, your entries are synced between your devices through Apple CloudKit.

• The data is stored in your personal iCloud account, and only you can access it
• We (the developer) cannot access your iCloud data
• Apple's privacy policy applies to iCloud services

💳 Payments

FinMap's one-time purchase is processed by the Apple App Store. We do not collect or store any payment information or credit card details. All transactions are handled by Apple.

🚫 What we don't do

• We don't collect your name, email address or any personally identifiable information
• We don't track your usage or location
• We don't show ads
• We don't sell or share data with third parties
• We don't use any analytics or advertising SDKs

🗑️ Deleting your data

You can delete any entry in the app at any time. Uninstalling the app removes all local data from your device. To delete data stored in iCloud, go to Settings → Apple Account → iCloud → Manage Storage on your iPhone.

👶 Children's privacy

FinMap is not designed specifically for children under 13, and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
