Privacy Policy for Tally

Last updated: 24 September 2026.

Tally (“the app”) is developed by Ehsan Yaqoob. This policy explains what data Tally collects and how it’s handled.

Summary

Tally collects no personal data. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising, and no network connection of any kind built into the app. Everything you enter stays on your device.

Data Storage

All expense entries, budget settings, and preferences (including currency choice) are stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData framework, within a private App Group container shared only between Tally’s own app, widget, and Siri Shortcuts integration. This data:

• Is never transmitted anywhere — Tally has no backend server
• Is never shared with the developer or any third party
• Is never used for advertising or tracking
• Can be permanently deleted at any time by deleting the app

Third-Party Services

Tally does not integrate any third-party SDKs, analytics tools, advertising networks, or crash-reporting services.

Permissions

Tally may request the following iOS system permissions, used solely for the stated purpose:

• Live Activities / Notifications — to show a brief on-screen confirmation when an expense is logged. No data leaves your device.

Tally does not request access to your location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera.

Siri Shortcuts & Back Tap

Tally integrates with the iOS Shortcuts app and the Back Tap accessibility feature to let you log an expense quickly. This integration runs entirely on-device via Apple’s App Intents framework; no data is sent to Apple, the developer, or any other party as part of this feature beyond what iOS itself requires to run a Shortcut.

Children’s Privacy

Tally does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under 13, because it does not collect data from anyone at all.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same URL with a revised “Last updated” date.
