1. Overview
Kept (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is a personal finance tracking application for iOS. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of the Kept app (“App”) and website (“Site”).
The short version: we collect almost nothing. Your financial data is stored exclusively on your device and, if you choose to enable it, in your personal iCloud account. We have no access to your transactions, budgets, or any other financial information you enter into Kept.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Financial Data
All financial data — including transactions, budgets, categories, and account settings — is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. We do not collect, access, or transmit this data in any way.
2.2 iCloud Sync (Optional)
If you choose to enable iCloud Sync within the App, your data is stored in your personal iCloud account. This data is managed entirely by Apple and is accessible only to you. We have no access to data stored in your iCloud account. Use of iCloud is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
2.3 Support Communications
If you contact us by email for support, we receive your email address and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and do not share it with third parties.
2.4 App Store Analytics
Apple may collect anonymized analytics data about App Store downloads and usage as part of standard App Store operations. This data is aggregated and anonymized. We have no control over this collection and it is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
3. How We Use Information
We use the limited information described above only for the following purposes:
- To respond to support requests and inquiries you initiate.
- To understand general usage trends via aggregated, anonymized App Store data provided by Apple, which helps us improve the App.
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond what is described in this policy.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your financial data is stored on-device using Apple's SwiftData framework, which is protected by iOS device encryption. If App Lock is enabled, access to the App requires Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN code.
We do not maintain servers that store your financial data. If you enable iCloud Sync, Apple's security infrastructure protects your data in transit and at rest. Your Apple ID credentials and iCloud encryption keys are never shared with us.
5. Third-Party Services
Kept integrates with the following Apple services, each subject to Apple's Privacy Policy:
- Apple App Store — used to distribute and update the App.
- Apple iCloud — used for optional data sync across your Apple devices. You control whether this is enabled.
- Apple SwiftData — the on-device storage framework used by the App.
We do not integrate with any advertising networks, analytics platforms, social media SDKs, or other third-party tracking services.
6. Children's Privacy
Kept is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the email address below so we can delete it.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Because your financial data is stored on your device, you have full control over it:
- Access and export: Use the Export feature within the App to export your data as CSV or JSON at any time.
- Deletion:Delete the App to permanently remove all locally stored data. If iCloud Sync is enabled, you can also disable it and delete the App's iCloud data from your iPhone's Settings.
- Support communications: Contact us at the email below to request deletion of any support messages we hold.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable law (such as GDPR or CCPA). Please contact us if you have any such requests.
8. International Transfers
Because we do not collect or store your financial data on our servers, there are no international data transfers of your financial information. Support emails are stored securely by our email provider in accordance with standard industry practices.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. Continued use of Kept after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. For significant changes, we may provide notice via an update to the App.
