Recur Privacy Policy

Introduction

Recur ("the app") is developed by Grisu Studio. This policy describes what the app stores, what it sends, and what it never touches. Recur has no accounts, no login, no servers of ours and — by design — no connection to any bank, card or financial institution. Everything you enter is written to a database in the app's private storage on your device and stays there. The only data that leaves your phone is what Google's advertising SDK sends in order to serve the ads that keep the app free, and you control whether those ads are personalised.

Scope

This privacy policy applies solely to the Recur mobile application.

Data We Collect

Stored on your device only, never transmitted to us: every record you create — its name, amount, currency, billing cycle, first billing date, optional trial end date, category, notes and reminder lead time — together with your settings (language, theme, haptics, default currency, reminder preferences). We also store the answer to the one-time age question as a bracket only — either "under 13" or "13 or over". If you pick a birth year it is converted to that bracket and immediately discarded; the app never stores a date of birth. Collected by Google AdMob, not by us, in order to serve ads: your device advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Advertising ID on Android), IP address, coarse device information such as model and operating system version, and ad interaction data. The app never asks for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location, or any bank, card or account credentials — there is no account to attach them to and nowhere to send them.

How We Use Your Data

Your records are used only inside the app: to compute the annual figure, to build the 30-day timeline, to draw the category breakdown, and to schedule the reminders you asked for. They are never uploaded, never shared and never analysed by us — the app contains no analytics and no crash reporting, and because there is no server of ours there is nowhere for that data to go. Reminders and trial alerts are local notifications: the app asks the operating system to raise an alert on your own device at a future time, and nothing is pushed from anywhere. If you decline the notification permission the app stays fully usable — every screen and every figure still works, only the alerts do not. Advertising data is used by Google to deliver and measure ads. In the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom the app shows Google's consent form before any ad loads, and on iOS it shows Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. Declining either one keeps ads non-personalised rather than removing them, and you can revisit both choices at any time from Settings → Privacy and ads. The app also caps the content rating of every ad it requests, so gambling, alcohol, dating and similar adult categories are excluded regardless of your consent choices.

Children's Privacy

Recur is a household-money tool listed for ages 13 and over and is not directed to children. The app asks one neutral, skippable age question, and keeps the answer as a bracket rather than a date of birth. If you indicate you are under 13, the app switches to child-directed ad treatment on that device: ads are restricted to the "General audiences" rating, are never personalised, no advertising identifier is used, and Apple's tracking prompt is never shown. The setting can be changed at any time in Settings → Privacy and ads, so a parent handing over a phone can tighten it without reinstalling. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and the app has no mechanism to do so — there is no account, no messaging and no upload of any kind.

Data Security

Because we run no servers and hold no database of our own, there is no copy of your data anywhere for us to lose or be compelled to hand over. Your records live in a SQLite database inside the app's private storage on your device, protected by the operating system's sandboxing and by whatever device encryption you have enabled. You can delete any record from its own detail screen, and uninstalling the app permanently removes the database and everything in it. CSV export writes a file to the app's temporary cache directory and hands it straight to your system share sheet — you decide where it goes, and nothing is uploaded in the process. Data handled by Google AdMob is governed by Google's own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We will update this policy whenever the app's behaviour changes in a way that affects it, and the "Last Updated" date above will change with it. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes. Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Contact Us

Questions, corrections or a request to delete data: email support@grisu.co with "Recur privacy" in the subject. Because all of your data is held on your own device, a deletion request is fulfilled by deleting the records in the app or uninstalling it — we hold nothing to delete on our side, and we will say so plainly if you ask.
