Privacy Policy
Last updated 7 October 2026
The short version: Pocketrack does not collect, store or share any of your data. Everything you enter stays on your phone.
This policy covers Pocketrack for iPhone and Pocketrack for Android. Where the two work differently, both are described.
What Pocketrack stores
The expenses you enter (amount, category, note and date), your budget, and your settings such as currency, language and appearance. All of it is stored in a local database on your device. Pocketrack's widgets read a summary of this data from the same device.
What Pocketrack collects
Nothing. Pocketrack has no account system, no server and no analytics, advertising or crash-reporting services. The app does not send your data over the network, and the developer has no way to see it. The Android app does not even ask for permission to use the internet.
Camera and receipt scanning
Scanning a receipt is optional, and the text is always read on your device.
On iPhone, Pocketrack uses the camera to capture the receipt and reads it with Apple's on-device text recognition and, where available, Apple Intelligence.
On Android, your phone's own camera app takes the photo and hands it to Pocketrack, which reads it with Google's ML Kit text recognition, built into the app. Pocketrack never gets access to the camera itself. ML Kit may prepare anonymous usage statistics, but without internet access the app has no way to send them.
In both cases, the image is used only to fill in the expense. It is not uploaded, and it is deleted as soon as it has been read.
App lock
App lock is optional, and Pocketrack never has access to your biometric data: it only receives a yes or no answer.
On iPhone, you set a PIN, which is stored in your iPhone's Keychain. Face ID and Touch ID are handled entirely by iOS.
On Android, Pocketrack uses the fingerprint, face or screen lock you've already set up on your phone and stores no PIN of its own. Checking it is handled entirely by Android.
Backups
Like other apps, Pocketrack's data can be included in your phone's backups, depending on your device settings: on iPhone, your iCloud or computer backup; on Android, your backup to your Google account. Those backups are managed by Apple or Google and by you, not by Pocketrack.
Deleting your data
You can delete individual expenses in the app, or all of them at once in Settings. Deleting Pocketrack from your phone removes all of its data from the device.
Children
Pocketrack does not collect data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
