Renewl Privacy Policy

Renewl exists so you can track your subscriptions without handing an app your bank login. That promise only works if your data stays yours, so this policy explains, plainly, what we do and do not collect.

Short version

• We do not run analytics. We don't know how you use the app.
• There is no bank connection and no account. You never link a bank to Renewl.
• The subscriptions and trials you track, the receipt images you scan, and the amounts and dates Renewl reads stay on your device. If you turn on iCloud, they sync through your own private iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit service.
• We do not run a server that holds your data. There is no Renewl-side database of users.
• We never sell or share your data, because we don't have it.
• The only data that ever leaves your device is what you explicitly send: an Apple in-app purchase, or an iCloud sync to your own account.

What Renewl does not collect

• We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, location, or contacts.
• We do not collect any information about your subscriptions, receipts, or spending.
• We never connect to your bank and never see your financial accounts.
• We do not use third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or trackers.
• We do not have access to read your iCloud data.

How receipt scanning works

When you scan a confirmation email, App Store receipt, or bank statement, Renewl reads it entirely on your iPhone. Apple's Vision framework turns the image into text, and Apple's on-device Foundation Models extract the merchant, amount, billing cycle, and renewal or trial-end date. The image and its text never leave your device and are never uploaded to us or to Apple. If on-device AI is unavailable, Renewl falls back to a built-in text reader that also runs entirely on your device.

Sharing a receipt into Renewl

If you share a receipt or confirmation email into Renewl from another app using the iOS Share Sheet, that item is handed to Renewl on your device and processed with the same on-device pipeline described above. It is not transmitted to us.

Where your data lives

Everything you track is stored locally on your iPhone. If you have iCloud enabled, Renewl syncs that data through Apple's CloudKit service to your own private iCloud account. CloudKit data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple. Only you can access this data.

Reminders

Renewl schedules reminders as local notifications on your device. No push server is involved, and your subscription details are never sent anywhere to deliver a reminder.

Subscriptions

Renewl Pro is processed through Apple's App Store. Apple handles the payment; we never see your card or Apple ID. Apple gives us a transaction receipt that we use only to verify your Pro subscription is active. Subscription status is stored on your device. Renewl Pro is $2.99 USD per month or $19.99 USD per year, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan.

Diagnostic information

If you opt in via iOS Settings, Privacy & Security, Analytics & Improvements, Apple may send us anonymized crash reports and performance metrics. These reports do not contain your subscription data or identifiers we can link back to you. You can disable this at any time in iOS Settings.

Children

Renewl is not directed at children under 13. The app contains no advertising and no social features. We don't knowingly collect any data, period, but specifically we don't collect data from children.

Your rights

Because we do not collect personal data, there is nothing for us to access, correct, or delete on our servers. To export or delete your data, use the controls within the app or manage your iCloud data through Apple's account tools at privacy.apple.com.

If you are a California resident (CCPA / CPRA), a resident of the EU/UK (GDPR), or covered by a similar law, the same applies: we have no personal data of yours to provide or delete because we do not collect it. You may still contact us with any questions.

Data security

Because your data lives on your device and in your private iCloud, security depends primarily on Apple's platform protections (device passcode, Face ID/Touch ID, iCloud account security). We recommend you enable two-factor authentication on your Apple ID and use a strong device passcode.
