Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how the Bill Reminder & Tracker app for iPhone ("Bill Reminder", "the app") handles your information. The app is developed by S M Moinur Rahman ("we", "us").
- We do not collect, store, or receive any of your personal data.
- Your bills and settings are stored on your device, and in your own private iCloud account only if you turn on iCloud Sync.
- No account, no sign-in, no bank login.
- No advertising, no analytics, and no tracking.
- The app works fully offline and never sends your data to us or to any server we operate.
1. Information you enter in the app
To help you manage your bills, the app lets you enter and save information such as:
- Bill names, categories, amounts, due dates, repeat schedules, and notes
- Payment status and payment history (including partial and minimum payments)
- Credit card statement balances, minimum payments, late fees, and grace periods
- Autopay settings and payment links you add for a bill
- Free trial end dates for subscriptions
- Names you enter for people you split a bill with, and who paid you back
- Your pay schedule and optional take-home pay amount (Paycheck Planner)
- Files you choose to attach, such as receipts or bill PDFs
- App preferences such as language, region, reminder time, and sound
This information is saved locally on your device inside the app's private storage (shared only with the app's own widgets). It is never sent to us or to any third party. We cannot see, access, or recover it.
2. Information we do not collect
We do not collect any personal data or usage data. The app does not include any analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, or tracking tools, and it does not use your IP address, device identifiers, location, or contacts. The camera and photo library are used only when you choose to scan a bill (see below). We do not sell or share any information, because we do not have any.
3. iCloud Sync (optional)
iCloud Sync is off unless you turn it on in the app's Settings. When it is on, a copy of your bills is stored in the private database of your own iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit, so your devices stay in sync. This data is protected by your Apple Account and handled under Apple's privacy policy. We cannot see, access, or recover it. You can turn iCloud Sync off at any time; you can also manage iCloud data in iOS Settings.
4. Bill scanning, camera, and photos
If you choose to scan a paper bill, the app asks for camera access (or you pick a photo). The image is read on your device with Apple's on-device text recognition to fill in the bill name, amount, and due date. The photo is not stored by the app and is never uploaded.
5. Widgets, Lock Screen, and Siri
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, the "due today" Live Activity, and Siri shortcuts show bill details that are already on your device. Nothing is sent to a server. Because these can appear on your Lock Screen, you can remove widgets or turn off the Lock Screen option in the app's Settings at any time.
More Apps. The "More Apps" section in Settings loads app icons from Apple's public App Store service. Only the App Store IDs of our apps are requested; none of your bills or personal data are sent. Tapping an app opens the App Store.
6. Notifications
If you allow notifications, the app schedules reminders on your device for upcoming due dates, grace periods, autopay dates, and free trial end dates. These are local notifications created on your device; no information is sent to a server. You can turn reminders off in the app's Settings or in iOS Settings at any time.
7. Face ID, Touch ID, and App Lock
If you turn on App Lock, iOS asks for your Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode to open the app. This check is performed entirely by Apple's iOS. The app only receives a "success" or "failure" result and never receives or stores your face, fingerprint, or passcode data.
8. Backups, exports, and reports
You can choose to create a backup file, export a CSV spreadsheet, or create a PDF report. These files are created on your device only when you request them, and you decide where to save or share them (for example iCloud Drive, the Files app, email, or another app). Once you share or save a file outside the app, it is handled by the service you chose and that service's privacy policy, such as Apple's privacy policy for iCloud Drive.
Your iPhone's own iCloud or computer backup may also include the app's data, depending on your device settings. This is managed by Apple, not by us.
9. Payment links and other websites
If you add a payment link to a bill, tapping "Pay Now" opens that website in your browser. The app does not process payments and never sees your card, bank, or login details. Websites you open are operated by third parties, and their own privacy policies apply.
10. Attachments
Files you attach to a bill are copied into the app's private storage on your device. They are not uploaded anywhere. Deleting the bill deletes its attachment.
11. App Store and ratings
The app is distributed through Apple's App Store. If you rate or review the app, that is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. We do not receive personal information about you from Apple.
12. Keeping and deleting your data
Your data stays on your device until you delete it. You can delete any bill in the app, which also removes its reminders and attachment. Deleting the app from your device removes all of its data. Because we do not hold any of your data, we have nothing to delete on our side.
13. Security
Your data is protected by iOS app sandboxing and by your device's own security, such as your passcode and data encryption. For extra protection, you can turn on App Lock. Please keep your device secure and create backups if you want to protect your data against loss.
14. Children's privacy
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
15. Your privacy rights (including California residents)
Privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) give you rights to know, access, delete, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Since we do not collect, sell, or share personal information, there is no personal information for us to provide, delete, or stop selling. Your data on your device remains fully under your control.
16. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the app changes. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If a change affects how your information is handled, we will describe it in the app's release notes.
