Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 8, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Bloomly (“Bloomly,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our iOS application “Budget Planner - Bloomly” (the “App”). We are committed to protecting your privacy by following a privacy-first approach: your financial data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud account — never on our servers.

Bloomly is developed by Sasa Stevic, an independent developer based in Germany.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Unlike most finance apps, Bloomly does NOT collect, store, or transmit:

We have no servers. We have no database. We never see your financial information.

How Your Data Is Stored

All your data is stored in two places, both controlled entirely by YOU:

1. On Your Device

Your transactions, categories, savings goals, and preferences are stored locally on your iPhone using Apple’s SwiftData framework. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it.

2. In Your Personal iCloud Account

If you have iCloud enabled and signed in, your data is automatically and end-to-end encrypted by Apple, then synced across your Apple devices via Apple’s CloudKit service. This is the same secure technology Apple uses for iCloud Photos and iCloud Drive.

Important: This data lives in YOUR iCloud account — not ours. We have no access to it. Apple is the data processor; you are the data controller.

To manage your iCloud sync:

Home Screen Widgets

Bloomly includes Home Screen widgets in three sizes (Small, Medium, Large). The widget functionality:

Widgets do not transmit any data, access the network, or send analytics.

Third-Party Services We Use

Bloomly uses a limited number of third-party services for essential functionality:

RevenueCat (Purchase Management)

We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases. RevenueCat receives:

RevenueCat does NOT receive your name, email, financial data, or any personal information. They process payments and verify entitlements only.

RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

Apple App Store / In-App Purchases

When you make a purchase, Apple handles the payment through your existing Apple ID. Apple is the merchant of record. Apple’s Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

Apple iCloud (CloudKit)

As described above, your data syncs through Apple’s iCloud service. Apple’s privacy practices are described here: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

Data We Do Not Share

Because we do not collect your data, we cannot:

No third party will ever see your transactions, balances, or financial situation through Bloomly.

Analytics and Tracking

Bloomly contains NO analytics tracking:

The app does not connect to any analytics services. We do not know how many users we have, what features they use, or how long they spend in the app.

Notifications

Bloomly uses local notifications for:

All notifications are 100% local. No data is transmitted to any server. Notifications are handled entirely by Apple’s UserNotifications framework on your device. We do not use APNs (Apple Push Notification Service) or any remote push system.

You can disable notifications at any time:

Children’s Privacy

Bloomly is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children. The app is designed for adults managing personal finances.

Your Rights (GDPR, CCPA, and Beyond)

Because we don’t collect your data, most data privacy rights don’t directly apply to us — there’s no data to access, delete, or transfer from our systems. However:

For data stored in YOUR iCloud, Apple is the data controller. Contact Apple directly for iCloud-specific privacy requests.

Special Note for EU Users (GDPR)

As an EU-based developer (Germany), we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). However, because Bloomly is designed as a zero-data-collection app:

If you have GDPR-related questions, you may contact us at the email below.

Data Retention

Your data is retained for as long as:

When you delete the app and disable iCloud sync, all your Bloomly data is permanently deleted from your iCloud after Apple’s standard deletion process (typically immediate).

In-App Purchase Information

When you purchase Pro (Lifetime $12.99):

  1. Apple processes the payment through your Apple ID
  2. Apple sends a purchase receipt to RevenueCat
  3. RevenueCat marks your anonymous user ID as “Pro: active”
  4. Your purchase status is checked locally when you open the app

No payment information (credit card numbers, bank details, billing addresses) ever passes through Bloomly or its developers.

Face ID and Biometric Authentication

If you enable Face ID Lock in Profile settings:

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do:

  1. The “Last updated” date at the top will change
  2. Significant changes will be announced in the app’s release notes
  3. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance

International Users

Bloomly is available worldwide. Regardless of where you are located:

Apple App Store

The Apple App Store has its own privacy practices. When you download Bloomly, Apple collects information about your purchase that we do not have access to. See Apple’s Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

Privacy Summary (TL;DR)

We don’t have your data. We don’t want it. Your finances live in YOUR iCloud, encrypted by Apple. We see nothing. 🌸

That’s the Bloomly promise.
