We built this app with a privacy-first approach. Almost all data you enter stays exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to us or any third party. This policy explains the limited exceptions to that rule and your rights under applicable law.
1. Data We Collect
1.1 Data That Stays on Your Device (We Never See This)
The following data is stored locally on your device only. It is never transmitted to our servers or any third party:
- Income records and earnings entries
- Expense records
- Invoice data
- Income forecasts and projections
- Any other financial data you enter into the app
This data is stored using your device's local storage and iOS Keychain. Only you can access it. We have no copy of it.
1.2 Outreach Generation Feature
The Generate Outreach feature requires you to provide your own OpenAI API key. This key is:
- Entered by you directly in the app
- Stored exclusively on your device using the iOS Keychain (Apple's secure credential storage)
- Never transmitted to us or any server we control
- Used solely to authenticate requests you initiate to OpenAI's API
When you tap Generate, the app sends the following directly from your device to OpenAI's servers using your own API key:
- The service type you enter
- The target client description you enter
- The tone preference you select
We never see, access, store, or transmit your OpenAI API key or your outreach inputs. The entire transaction is between your device and OpenAI directly.
Your OpenAI API usage is subject to OpenAI's pricing and billed directly to your OpenAI account. We have no involvement in that relationship.
Important: Please do not enter the full name of a specific individual in the target client field. Use a role or company type instead (e.g. "marketing manager at a SaaS startup"). This protects the privacy of third parties.
1.3 Push Notification Token
If you grant permission for push notifications, your device generates a push notification token. This token is:
- Managed by Apple's Push Notification service (APNs)
- Stored locally on your device
- Used solely to deliver notifications you have requested (e.g. income logging reminders)
- Not accessible to us on any server
2. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
We are based in Romania and are subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legal bases for processing are:
| Data | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Outreach inputs sent to OpenAI | Article 6(1)(b) — Performance of contract (providing the Generate feature you requested) |
| Push notification token | Article 6(1)(f) — Legitimate interests (delivering notifications you enabled) |
| Locally stored financial data | Not transmitted — no processing by us |
3. International Data Transfers
When you use the Generate Outreach feature, your outreach inputs are transferred to the United States where OpenAI's infrastructure is located.
This transfer is protected by EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) pursuant to GDPR Article 46(2)(c), incorporated through our Data Processing Agreement with OpenAI.
4. Third-Party Services
We use one third-party service:
OpenAI, L.L.C.
- Purpose: Processing outreach generation requests
- Data shared: Service type, target client description, and tone preference (only when you tap Generate)
- Location: United States
- Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/privacy
- Data Processing: OpenAI processes API data in accordance with their API data usage policies. By default, OpenAI does not use API inputs to train their models.
We have no advertising SDKs, analytics services, crash reporting tools, or any other third-party trackers in this app.
5. Data Retention
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Outreach inputs (sent to OpenAI) | Deleted immediately after API response is received. OpenAI retains data per their API data retention policy. |
| Local app data (income, expenses, etc.) | Retained on your device until you delete it via Settings → Delete All My Data, or until you uninstall the app. |
| Push notification token | Managed by iOS; removed when you revoke notification permissions or uninstall the app. |
6. Your Rights

9. Cookies and Tracking
This app does not use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, device fingerprinting, or any other tracking technologies. We do not track you across apps or websites.
10. Data Security
We take the security of your data seriously:
- All local data is stored using iOS-native security mechanisms (Keychain for sensitive data, encrypted local storage)
- All communications with OpenAI's API are encrypted using HTTPS/TLS
- Your OpenAI API key is stored exclusively in the iOS Keychain on your device. It is never transmitted to us. API requests are made directly from your device to OpenAI using your own credentials.
