Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 11, 2026
Short version: your data stays on your device (and your iCloud account if you enable sync). We do not collect it, sell it, or share it.
Credit Buddy ("we," "our," or "the app") helps you track credit card benefits and rewards. This policy explains what information the app stores, how it is handled, and your choices.
What data the app stores
Credit Buddy stores the information you enter, including credit card names, benefit details, reward account balances, and calculator history.
This data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework.
iCloud sync (optional)
If you enable iCloud sync, your app data is stored in your personal iCloud account via Apple's CloudKit so it can sync across your own devices.
We do not have access to your iCloud data.
What we collect
We do not collect, transmit, or store your app data on our servers. Credit Buddy does not require an account and does not include third-party analytics or ad tracking SDKs.
Third-party services
Credit Buddy only communicates with Apple services required for core app features:
- Apple iCloud (CloudKit): Only when you enable sync. Governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
- Apple StoreKit: Used for optional Credit Buddy+ purchases and managed by Apple.
Permissions
Credit Buddy may request access to notifications (for reminders) and calendar (for benefit deadline events). These permissions are optional and can be changed in iOS settings at any time.
Data deletion
You can delete your data in the app settings at any time. Deleting the app removes local data. If iCloud sync is enabled, synced data can also be removed from iCloud account settings.
Children's privacy
Credit Buddy is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If we do, the "last updated" date above will change.
