FIRE Cat (“the app”) is developed by RUI (“we”). This policy explains what data the app handles and who can see it.
Summary
- No account. The app never connects to your bank or broker.
- Everything you enter stays on your iPhone. We do not receive it.
- The free version shows banner ads from Google AdMob. Google may collect some device and usage data to deliver ads, as described below.
- We use no analytics or tracking of our own.
Data you enter
Your plans, goal, start date, balance records, accounts, deposits and withdrawals, and settings (such as currency and reminder times) are stored only on your device, in app storage shared with FIRE Cat’s widgets. They are not sent to us or to any server we operate.
iCloud backup (optional). If you use iCloud backup, the app writes a JSON file with this data to FIRE Cat’s container in your own iCloud Drive. It is stored by Apple under your Apple Account and governed by Apple’s privacy policy. We have no access to it.
Reminders (optional). Balance-update reminders are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone. No server is involved.
Advertising (free version)
The free version shows banner ads using the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) and Google’s User Messaging Platform. To deliver and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect:
- device identifiers, including the advertising identifier (IDFA) only if you allow tracking in the App Tracking Transparency prompt;
- usage and interaction data with ads;
- diagnostic data such as crash and performance information;
- approximate location derived from your IP address.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK or another region where consent is required, a consent form is shown before ads load. You can change your choices any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices. You can allow or deny tracking any time in iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Your amounts, goals and records are never shared with Google or any ad network.
For details, see Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
In-app purchase
Pro (a one-time purchase that removes ads) is processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your payment details. The app only checks with Apple whether Pro has been purchased. Once Pro is active, the ads SDK is not started.
Historical data
Backtests use market data calculated from Robert J. Shiller, Online Data. The data is bundled with the app and used offline. Using it sends nothing about you anywhere.
Children
FIRE Cat is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Deleting your data
Settings → Goal & plan → Stop tracking deletes your goal, plan and balance records. Deleting the app removes all data stored on your device. iCloud backups remain in your iCloud Drive until you delete them in your iCloud storage settings.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
