Budget Planner (“the App”) is developed and maintained by Alessandro Pace (“we”, “our”, or “us”), and this Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and store your information when you use the App. We value your privacy and strive to ensure your data is protected and used only in ways that align with your expectations.

1. General Information

Budget Planner is a personal finance app designed to help you manage your budget and expenses, and this policy applies to the use of the App. As the sole developer, I am committed to safeguarding your privacy and making sure your data is handled securely.

2. Storage and Syncing of Data

All user data within Budget Planner is stored locally on your device and synchronized across devices using Apple’s iCloud service. More specifically, the App uses CloudKit, which stores data in your private iCloud database. This ensures that you have full control over your data, and it is never shared with third parties or external services.

Data Types Stored:

• Financial logs, budgets, and expense records.

• User settings and preferences related to the App.

Your data remains in your iCloud account, which means you retain ownership and can manage or delete it through Apple’s iCloud settings.

3. Protection of Personally-Identifying Information

Budget Planner does not transmit any Personally-Identifying Information (PII) to external locations, third-party services, or servers. All user data, including any financial logs and settings, is confined to the App and your personal iCloud database.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information:

We do not collect or share any non-personally identifiable information (such as device type or operating system version) with external services.

4. Security

We take security very seriously. By relying on Apple’s CloudKit infrastructure and iCloud services, your data benefits from the robust privacy and security measures Apple provides. While no online service can guarantee complete security, we take all reasonable steps to ensure your data remains private and secure.

5. Your Data Rights

Because all your data is stored in your personal iCloud account, you have full control over it. You can:

• Access and manage your data directly via the App.

• Delete any or all of your data within the App or through your iCloud account settings.

• Discontinue syncing data to iCloud by disabling iCloud for Budget Planner in your iOS settings.

6. No Data Sharing with Third Parties

We do not share, sell, or transmit any user data to third-party companies or services. The data you create while using Budget Planner remains yours, and it is never accessed or transmitted by external entities.

7. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
