CashLens: Expense Tracker · Last updated August 30, 2026

Privacy Policy

_Last updated: July 2026_

Introduction

CashLens is built around a simple rule: your money data stays on your device. This policy explains what the app stores, what it does not collect, and when Apple systems may be involved.

What We Do Not Collect

We do not run analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting SDKs. We do not create accounts, operate CashLens servers, or sync your expenses to the cloud. We do not sell or share your financial data.

  • No accounts or sign-in
  • No analytics or usage tracking
  • No crash reporters or telemetry SDKs
  • No ads or third-party advertising networks

Data Stored on Your Device

Information you enter — expenses, budgets, categories, subscriptions, receipts, preferences, and similar content — is stored locally on your iPhone or iPad (including secure on-device storage and, when you use Home Screen widgets or related Apple features, the shared App Group container on that same device).

There is no CashLens cloud copy of your data. If you delete the app without exporting first, that local data can be lost permanently.

Optional Features You Control

  • Camera / photos: Used only if you attach a receipt. Images stay on your device unless you export or share them yourself. Receipt text recognition runs entirely on-device using Apple's Vision framework.
  • Face ID / Touch ID (App Lock): Optional. Biometrics stay with Apple's local security frameworks; we never receive or store biometric templates.
  • Notifications: Optional reminders you enable. Scheduling happens on your device.
  • Widgets & Siri: Optional. They may show totals or let you log from outside the app using on-device data only.
  • Export / share: You can export a copy of your data anytime. Nothing leaves the device unless you choose to share or save that file.

Apple Services

CashLens itself does not send your expense data to our servers. The only network activity from the app comes from Apple frameworks you use — mainly the App Store / StoreKit for purchases, restores, and subscriptions — and from web links you open yourself (such as this policy).

Apple's handling of App Store purchases is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Your Control

Your data belongs to you. You can export it from the app, turn optional features off, or delete the app to remove local data. Because we do not hold a server-side copy, there is nothing for us to delete remotely.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
