Privacy policy
Your data stays on your phone. Here's the fine print.
Last updated: July 12, 2026
The short version
Stash is a local-first app. Your savings goals, deposits, and settings are stored in a database on your device and are never sent to us β we don't operate any servers that could receive them. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no trackers. The only data that leaves your device relates to in-app purchases, which are processed by Apple and RevenueCat.
Who we are
Stash is a personal savings tracker for iPhone (βthe appβ, βStashβ, βweβ). This policy explains what data the app handles, where it lives, and the choices you have. If anything here is unclear, email us at erickmndev@gmail.com.
Data stored on your device
Everything you create in Stash is stored in a local database on your device only:
- Savings goals β names, categories, colors, target amounts, deadlines, and currencies.
- Activity β the deposits and withdrawals you record, with dates and optional notes.
- Preferences β your display name, chosen currency, accent color, appearance settings, and notification preferences.
None of this is transmitted to us or to any third party. We have no way to access, read, or recover it. Deleting the app deletes this data with it.
What we don't do
- No user accounts β the app never asks you to sign up.
- No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.
- No advertising and no ad networks.
- No selling, sharing, or renting of data β we hold none.
- No bank connections β amounts in Stash are numbers you type in yourself; the app never touches a real financial account.
Backups and exports
You can export your data as a single backup file from Settings. The export happens entirely on your device, and you choose where the file goes using the system share sheet β a folder, another app, or a cloud service of your choosing. Once exported, that file is under your control and subject to the privacy practices of wherever you store it. Restoring a backup simply reads a file you pick β no network request is ever made to us.
In-app purchases (Stash Premium)
Stash offers an optional Premium upgrade (monthly, yearly, or lifetime). Payments are processed by Apple through the App Store β we never see your name, email, or payment details.
To unlock Premium across reinstalls, the app uses RevenueCat, a purchase-management service. RevenueCat receives a random, anonymous app-user identifier and purchase information (such as the product bought and transaction details from Apple). It does not receive your goals, activity, or any personal details. Apple's handling of your purchase is covered by the Apple Privacy Policy.
Notifications
If you turn on reminders, Stash schedules local notifications on your device to nudge you to keep saving. These are created and delivered entirely on your phone β there is no push-notification server, and enabling them shares nothing with us. You can turn them off anytime in the app or in iOS Settings.
Children's privacy
Stash is not directed at children under 13, and because the app collects no personal data, none is collected from anyone β children included.
Your choices
- Export β take a full copy of your data anytime from Settings.
- Delete β erase all data from within the app, or simply delete the app.
- Notifications β opt in or out anytime.
Changes to this policy
If the app's data practices ever change β for example, if a future version adds an online feature β we will update this policy and change the date at the top before the change takes effect. Meaningful changes will also be called out in the app's update notes.
