1. Overview
CentsNote is a personal finance money manager designed to help you record expenses, income, transfers, recurring bills, budgets, and reports. The product is local-first: your day-to-day money records are intended to stay on your device by default.
2. Information you create in the app
You may create transaction records, account labels, categories, budgets, recurring rules, notes, voice-derived drafts, and app settings. These records may include sensitive financial information. CentsNote does not need this information to be public, and the app is designed so local bookkeeping can work without an account.
3. Local storage and optional backup
Records are stored locally by default. If you choose iCloud backup, iCloud sync, export, restore, or another backup feature, the selected data may be processed by Apple services or stored in a location you control. Cloud features should be opt-in and may require additional Apple account or device permissions.
4. Voice input and AI-assisted parsing
CentsNote may use speech recognition and AI-assisted parsing to turn natural-language input into a draft record. The app should ask for relevant microphone or speech permissions when needed. AI-generated drafts are for convenience; you should review them before saving.
5. Support communications
If you email support@centsnote.com, we may receive your email address and the information you include in the message. Do not send financial records, passwords, authentication codes, or other highly sensitive information unless we specifically request it through a secure process.
6. Analytics and diagnostics
The current website uses no tracking cookies. Future app builds may use privacy-conscious diagnostics to understand crashes, performance, or feature reliability. If analytics are added, they should be limited, documented here, and configured to avoid collecting money record contents.
7. Payments and subscriptions
If paid features are offered through the App Store, Apple processes purchases and may provide subscription status information to the app. CentsNote should not receive your full payment card details from Apple.
8. Data sharing
We do not sell personal financial records. We may share limited information with service providers only when needed to operate support, app distribution, diagnostics, AI parsing, cloud backup, legal compliance, or security.
9. Retention and deletion
Local records remain on your device until you delete them, delete the app, reset app data, or choose another deletion action. Cloud backup, Apple account, or App Store subscription data may follow Apple or service-provider retention rules.
10. Children
CentsNote is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through support or another channel, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
11. Your choices
- Use Local Only mode when available.
- Decline optional microphone, speech, notification, or cloud permissions.
- Delete local records or app data from the app or device.
