It is Darius Buhai's policy, acting as an independent individual developer, to respect your privacy regarding any information collected through the app.
Effective 9 July 2026Last updated 1 August 2026darius@buhai.ro
Your subscriptions stay on your phone. What you track, what it costs you, when it is billed, and anything you write down never leaves your device unless you choose to back it up or share it yourself.
The app collects anonymous usage statistics — how often features are used, never what you use them on. There is no account to create, no advertising, and no third-party tracking of any kind.

01
What stays on your device
Everything you enter lives in the app's own storage on your device: the subscriptions and reward cards you track, their names, prices, currencies, billing dates, folders, notes, icons and any image you choose for them. None of it is uploaded to us, and we have no way to read it.
Backups are yoursWhen you sync to iCloud or Google Drive, your data goes to your personal cloud account under your own credentials — not to us. Exporting a CSV writes a file you then decide what to do with.
Bank statement importIf you import a statement to find recurring payments, the file is read and analysed entirely on your device. Its contents are never transmitted anywhere.
PreferencesSettings such as theme, accent colour, language, default currency and sort order are stored locally.
02
Permissions we ask for
Photo libraryOnly when you choose to set a custom icon for a subscription or reward card. The single image you pick is copied into the app's storage on your device and is never uploaded.
NotificationsOnly to remind you, on your device, before a subscription is billed. Reminders are scheduled locally — there are no push notifications from a server.
A permission is requested only at the moment a feature you have chosen to use needs it, and the app keeps working if you decline.
03
Anonymous usage analytics
To understand which parts of the app are worth improving, Subscriptions Manager sends a small anonymous usage summary to our own server over an encrypted connection. It is tied to a random identifier created on your device the first time the app runs — not to your name, your email, your Apple or Google account, or any advertising identifier. Reinstalling the app starts a brand new identifier, and there is no way for us, or anyone else, to connect it back to you.
What the summary contains
How often things are used. Counts such as how many subscriptions or reward cards were added, edited or deleted, how often the calendar, search, folders, backup or import screens were opened, and how many times the app was launched.
How much you track. The number of subscriptions, reward cards and folders you have. Numbers only, never the items themselves.
Which one-time purchases are unlocked and when they were bought, so we can tell whether the paid packs are working as intended. Payments themselves are handled entirely by the App Store or Google Play; we never see or store your card details.
Basic technical context. App version, platform, device language and region, and your app preferences such as theme, currency and sort order.
When the app was first and last opened, so we can tell whether people keep using it.
What it never contains
No subscription details. Not the names of the services you track, not their prices, not what you pay in total, not billing dates, folder names, notes or images. We can see that you added a subscription; we cannot see that it was Netflix, or what it costs you.
No reward card details, balances or point totals.
No personal identifiers — no name, email address, phone number, contacts, location, or device advertising ID.
No file contents — nothing from an imported bank statement, a CSV, or your photo library.
Subscriptions Manager contains no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. Nothing is sold, shared with advertisers, or used to track you across other apps or websites. If the summary cannot be sent — you are offline, or the server is unavailable — the app simply carries on as normal.
Turning it offYou can stop the app sending usage statistics at any time: open Settings › Privacy and switch off Share anonymous usage statistics. Every other feature keeps working exactly as before.
Where it goesThe summary is sent to our own server, hosted in hosting region, and is not passed on to anyone else. No processor outside that arrangement receives it.
How long we keep itUsage records are kept for at most 24 months, after which they are deleted or folded into totals that cannot be broken back down per device.
04
When the app talks to the internet
Logo and app searchIf you search for a subscription to add, the text you type is sent to public app-store and logo search services to fetch matching names and icons. Nothing else about you is attached to that request.
Exchange ratesThe app fetches current currency rates. This request contains no information about you or your subscriptions.
Usage analyticsAs described above.
05
How your data is protected
Every connection uses HTTPSWithout exception.
Device storageData stored on your device is protected by your device's operating system and its own encryption.
RetentionWe keep information only for as long as it is useful for the purpose it was collected for, and protect anything stored using commercially acceptable means.
SharingWe do not publicly share personally identifying information — and in the case of analytics, we do not hold any to begin with.
06
Legal basis and your rights
The random identifier attached to the usage summary is treated as personal data under the UK and EU GDPR, even though it is not linked to your name or account. So, to be explicit about how it is handled:
Who is responsibleDarius Buhai, an independent individual developer based in country, is the data controller. Contact: darius@buhai.ro.
Why we may process itYour consent, which you give by leaving usage statistics switched on and can withdraw at any time in Settings. Withdrawing does not affect anything sent before.
Search, logos and exchange ratesProcessed because you asked for a result — necessary to provide the feature you are using.
If you are in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland or another region with similar law, you have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. In practice these rights are largely met by the app's design: your subscriptions never reach us, and the usage summary contains nothing that would let us find a record belonging to you, so we cannot single one out to export or delete. Switching analytics off, or uninstalling the app, ends the collection.
You can raise any concern with us at darius@buhai.ro. If you are in the EEA or UK you also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority; in Switzerland, to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are used in US state privacy laws, we do not use it for targeted advertising or profiling, and we do not discriminate against anyone who exercises a privacy right.
07
Deleting your data
Your subscriptions and reward cards are on your device, so you are in control of them: delete individual items in the app, use Erase data in Settings, or uninstall the app, which removes everything it stored locally, including the analytics identifier.
Because the usage summary contains nothing that identifies you, there is nothing personal for us to look up or delete on request. Once the app is uninstalled, its anonymous record simply stops being updated, and reinstalling starts fresh.
08
Children
Subscriptions Manager is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from them. There is no account, no profile, and no personal data to collect.
09
Updates to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be amended or updated from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the effective date of any such change, and material changes will be reflected in the app itself.
