PennyPause Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 February 2025

Overview

PennyPause is a personal finance and impulse-control app. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how PennyPause handles your data.

Data Storage

All data you enter into PennyPause is stored locally on your device only. PennyPause uses your device's built-in storage (IndexedDB) to save your budgets, savings, debts, wishlist items, impulse check history, spending rules, and app preferences.

No data is transmitted to any external server, cloud service, or third party.

Data We Collect

We do not collect any data. Specifically:

Third-Party Services

PennyPause does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services. The optional feedback form (accessible via Settings) uses Formspree to deliver your message. Submitting feedback is entirely voluntary and only sends the information you explicitly type into the form.

Data Export & Deletion

You can export all your data as a JSON file at any time via Settings > Export Data. You can also delete all your data at any time via Settings > Reset All Data. Once deleted, your data cannot be recovered.

No Account Required

PennyPause does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal information to use the app.

Children's Privacy

PennyPause does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app does not collect any information from any user of any age.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, we will post the changes here with a new "Last updated" date. Since PennyPause does not collect data, significant changes are unlikely.

If you have questions about this privacy policy, you can reach us through the in-app feedback form (Settings > Send Feedback).
