Where your data lives

What’s stored on your iPhone

Your goals and their history, timer sessions, spending goal, purchases, categories, budgets and preferences are all saved in the app’s own storage on your iPhone. Home Screen widgets read a small summary that Furiner saves on the same iPhone.

Furiner doesn’t need an internet connection to track anything.

What happens if you turn on iCloud Sync

iCloud Sync is optional and off by default. If you turn it on in Profile, or choose “Restore from iCloud” when you set up the app, Furiner uses Apple’s iCloud to sync your goals and their history, timer sessions, purchases, categories and category budgets.

That copy is held by Apple in the private part of your own iCloud account, which we can’t access. Your preferences, your spending goal amount and period, the date you started using Furiner and the days you opened it aren’t synced.

What isn’t in the app

• No account or sign-up.
• No ads.
• No analytics or tracking tools.
• No bank connection. You enter purchases yourself, so Furiner never asks for financial logins.
• No third-party code. Version 1.0 is built only with Apple’s own frameworks.

Furiner’s privacy manifest, the file Apple uses to record what an app collects, declares no collected data and no tracking.

What can still leave your iPhone

We don’t say your data “never leaves your device”, because that wouldn’t be quite true. It can leave in these cases, each of which is your choice or part of Apple’s service:

• iCloud Sync, if you turn it on, as described above.
• Device backups. If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, the backup may include Furiner’s data. Your settings and Apple’s terms apply.
• Exports. If you export your data, you decide where the file goes.
• Emails. If you write to us, we receive what you send.
• Apple diagnostics. If you’ve chosen to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may give us some diagnostic or aggregated information about the app.

Taking your data with you, or clearing it

In Profile, Export Data saves a copy of everything as a JSON file, and Delete All Data permanently removes everything from the app and returns it to the start. If you use iCloud Sync, the Privacy Policy explains what happens to the copy in iCloud.

Why it’s built this way

The simplest way to protect this kind of information is not to have it. Furiner has no data to sell, no advertisers to serve and no database of people’s habits to look after.

This page is a plain-English summary. The Privacy Policy is what applies. You can read more about Furiner, or see what’s inside the app.
