Privacy Policy
SimpliExpense · Last updated June 15, 2026
The short version
SimpliExpense works offline. Your drives, expenses, receipts, and reports are stored on your device. We collect nothing unless you choose to create an account and turn on cloud sync. Even then your GPS routes and report PDFs never leave your device, and your receipt images stay on your device too — with one exception: if you submit a report to your company for approval, copies of that report's receipts are uploaded to private storage so your approver can review them (see Receipts below).
What we collect and where it lives
- Without an account (default): nothing. All data stays on your device and is removed when you delete the app.
- With an account (optional, Pro): your email address and structured records — dates, miles, classifications, amounts, merchant names, categories, and report totals — sync to our secure backend (Supabase, hosted in the United States) so you have a cloud backup and can view or export them in the web app. The device you record on stays the source of truth. Access is restricted to your account; Iron Foundry operators can access account records only to handle support and deletion requests.
Location
Location and motion are used on your device to detect and measure drives. Precise coordinates, routes, and addresses stay on your device. If you enable sync, only the total distance of each drive (a number) is transmitted — never your route or coordinates.
Receipts and photos
Receipts are captured and read with on-device text recognition and are stored on your device. During normal sync, receipt images are never uploaded — synced expense records carry only a yes/no flag that a receipt exists.
When you submit a report to your company for approval (a Team feature), copies of that report's receipts are uploaded to private, access-controlled storage so the people authorized to approve it can review them. GPS routes are never uploaded. Shared receipt copies can be purged after the report is reimbursed.
Purchases
SimpliExpense Pro subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details. Your subscription status is read from the App Store on your device.
No tracking, no ads, no data sales
We do not track you across apps or websites, show no ads, use no third-party analytics, and never sell data.
Data retention and deletion
- On-device data is deleted when you delete the app.
- Account and synced data can be permanently deleted in the app: Settings → Delete account. This removes your sign-in and everything synced to the cloud immediately. You can also email us (below) to request deletion.
Children
SimpliExpense is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new "last updated" date.
