Privacy Policy

For Bill Organizer & Pay Reminder

Effective Date: September 28, 2026 · Last Updated: September 28, 2026

Who We Are

Bill Organizer is published by an independent Apple platforms developer (referred to in this policy as "we", "our", or "us"). You can reach us by email at [email protected].

This Privacy Policy describes how the Bill Organizer & Pay Reminder application for iPhone, iPad and Mac (the "App") handles information.

Short version: we do not collect personal data about you. The bills, payments and income you enter are stored on your device and, only if you turn on iCloud sync, in your own private iCloud database, which we cannot read. The App has no accounts, does not connect to your bank, and contains no analytics or advertising.

Information We Collect

We do not collect, store on our servers, sell, or share personal information from the App. In particular, we do not collect:

  • your name, email address, phone number, or contact details;
  • your bills, amounts, due dates, payees, categories, notes, payments, or income;
  • bank account, card, or other financial account credentials, because the App never connects to a bank;
  • your location;
  • analytics or usage statistics;
  • crash reports;
  • cookies, advertising identifiers, or tracking data;
  • account or registration data, because the App has no accounts.

Because we do not collect personal data through the App, we do not maintain a user database.

What You Enter and Where It Is Stored

Everything in the App is typed in by you. This includes bill names, amounts and currencies, due dates and how they repeat, payees, categories, notes, autopay flags, payments you record, income and paydays, and your reminder preferences.

This data is stored in a database inside the App's own container on your device, shared only with the App's widgets through an Apple App Group. It is not sent to us.

iCloud Sync

iCloud sync is an optional Pro feature and is off unless you turn it on in the App's settings. When it is on, your App data is stored in the private database of your own iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit, so it can appear on your other iPhone, iPad and Mac signed in to the same Apple Account. Apple may send silent push notifications to the App so it knows when data changed on another device.

Data in your private iCloud database belongs to your Apple Account. We, as the developer, cannot access, read, or export it. iCloud storage is provided by Apple and governed by Apple's privacy policy and your iCloud settings. You can turn sync off at any time in the App, and manage or delete iCloud data in your device settings.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, the App schedules reminders as local notifications on your device. They are never sent through a server. A reminder shows the bill's name, amount, due date and payee, so this information may be visible on your Lock Screen depending on your notification preview settings. The Mark Paid and Snooze actions are handled on the device.

The App asks for notification permission during onboarding or when you turn reminders on. You can change or revoke it at any time in the system Settings.

Camera and Photos

The App declares camera and photo library access for attaching a picture of a bill. It asks for permission only when you choose to take or pick a picture, and never reads your photo library in the background. An attached picture or document is stored with its bill in the App's database (and in your private iCloud database if sync is on). It is never uploaded to us. You can change or revoke these permissions at any time in the system Settings.

Widgets, Siri and Spotlight

  • Widgets. To show your next bills on the Home Screen, Lock Screen and in StandBy, the App writes a small summary (upcoming bill names, amounts, due dates, and the amount left to pay this month) to a file inside the shared App Group container on your device. Only the App and its widgets can read it.
  • Siri and Shortcuts. The App offers actions such as adding a bill, asking what is due this week, and marking a bill paid. When you use them, your request is handled by Apple's Siri and Shortcuts under Apple's privacy policy, and the App performs the action on your device.
  • Spotlight. Active bills (name, payee, category, remaining amount and next due date) are added to your device's on-device Spotlight index so you can search for them. The index is kept by the system on your device and is not sent to us.

What Stays on Your Device

Besides the data you enter, the App stores a small amount of data locally so it can provide its features. This data is not sent to us.

  • Settings. Your default currency, reminder rules (days before, time of day, quiet hours, weekend shifting, overdue reminders), whether onboarding is complete, and whether iCloud sync is on.
  • Automatic backups. After each change, the App writes a backup of your data as a file in its own container on your device. The last 10 backups are kept and older ones are deleted automatically. You can restore any of them from the App's settings.
  • Review prompt counter. How many bills you have paid on time and when a review was last requested, so the App asks for an App Store rating at most once every 90 days. The rating dialog itself is shown by Apple.
  • Configuration cache. The last downloaded configuration settings (see Network Requests below).
  • Pro state. Whether Pro is active is read from the App Store through Apple's StoreKit. The App Store entitlement is the source of truth.
  • iCloud backup. Depending on your device settings, the App's local data may be included in your personal device backup. This is controlled by Apple and your device settings, not by us.

You can delete individual bills inside the App, or delete all local App data by uninstalling the App.

Exports

You can export your bills and payments as CSV files, or as a PDF report with Pro. The files are created on your device and handed to the system share sheet. Where they go next (Files, Mail, another app) is chosen by you.

Network Requests

The only network request the App makes on its own is to download a small static configuration file from our website when the App launches or returns to the foreground. The file contains two non-personal settings: the number of bills allowed on the free tier and whether the upgrade screen is shown after onboarding. The request carries no personal data, no identifiers, and nothing about your bills. As with any web request, the server that hosts the file receives your IP address as part of the connection; we do not use it to identify you or combine it with any other data.

Other network traffic is handled by Apple: App Store purchases through StoreKit and, only if you turn it on, iCloud sync through CloudKit.

Third Parties

Apple (App Store, StoreKit, iCloud and system services)

Pro subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are sold and managed by Apple through the App Store. Apple is the merchant of record. We do not see your payment details, Apple Account, billing address, or full name. The App receives from Apple only a confirmation of which purchase, if any, is active. Apple's own privacy policy applies to App Store purchases, subscription management, purchase restoration, iCloud and CloudKit, notifications, Siri and Shortcuts, Spotlight, widgets, the camera and photo library, the share sheet, and other system services.

No analytics or advertising SDKs

The App does not include any third-party code. There are no analytics, crash reporting, advertising, attribution, or tracking SDKs, and no bank-linking services. Outgoing links to Apple's standard end user license agreement, Apple's subscription management page, and this Privacy Policy open only at your request.

Purchases and Pro

  • The free tier allows up to 5 active bills with reminders, the calendar, mark paid, backups and CSV export.
  • Pro adds unlimited bills, widgets, iCloud sync, insights, PDF export, custom categories and per-bill reminder rules.
  • Pro is offered as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
  • One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac signed in to the same Apple Account.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, including the free trial.
  • Purchases are billed and managed by Apple through the App Store.
  • You can restore purchases in the App and manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple Account settings.
  • We do not store, see, or process your payment information.

Children

The App is a general-purpose finance utility rated 4+ on the App Store. It is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and it is not enrolled in the App Store Kids category. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us; because we do not collect personal data, there is normally nothing for us to delete from our systems.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under laws such as the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and similar laws. These rights can include access, correction, deletion, portability, and objection to processing.

Because we do not collect or hold personal data from the App, we have no personal data to provide, correct, delete, or transfer in response to such a request. You still control the App's data:

  • edit or delete any bill, payment or income inside the App;
  • export your data at any time as CSV (or PDF with Pro);
  • turn iCloud sync off in the App, and manage or delete iCloud data in your device settings;
  • delete all local App data by uninstalling the App;
  • change or revoke notification, camera and photo library permissions in the system Settings;
  • cancel subscriptions through Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions;
  • contact us with privacy questions at [email protected].

California residents: we do not "sell" or "share" personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA, and we have no categories of personal information to disclose because we do not collect any through the App.

Security

The App relies on security features built into iOS, iPadOS and macOS, including app sandboxing, data protection for files on your device, an App Group container shared only with the App's own widgets, Apple's protection of iCloud data, and Apple's StoreKit transaction verification. No method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. However, the App does not transmit your bills to us, because we have no servers that receive them.

International Use

The App may be available through the Apple App Store in multiple countries. Because your data is stored on your device and, optionally, in your own iCloud account, and we do not collect personal data through the App, we do not transfer your App data across borders on our side.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect new App functionality or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top. The basic commitment that the App does not collect your personal data or upload your bills to us will not change without clear notice.
