Privacy policy for the app
Last updated October 15, 2026. Applies to the Can I Buy It? Safe to Spend iPhone app and the web app at canibuyit-app.pages.dev.
We don't collect your data
Your balance, paychecks, bills and history are stored only on your device: on your iPhone in the app, or in your browser’s storage in the web app. The app has no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Nothing you enter is sent to us or to anyone else.
Purchases
In the iPhone app, subscriptions are sold and managed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details; Apple’s privacy policy covers that information.
In the web app, Bickford Technologies sells the subscription and Stripe processes the payment. We receive your email address, the plan and the subscription status from Stripe, and store them so the web app can tell you have paid. We never see your card number. Stripe’s privacy policy covers your payment details. Your budget data is still never sent to us.
Reminders
Bill and payday reminders are scheduled on your phone by iOS. They are not sent from a server. The web app does not send reminders.
Deleting your data
Settings › Erase all my data deletes everything the app stored. Deleting the app does the same. In the web app, Settings › Erase all my data, or clearing this site’s data in your browser, deletes it. To delete your purchase record, write to us below.
