Privacy Policy

Al Corte · Last updated: September 23, 2026 · Version 1.0

One-line summary We do not collect or receive any personal data. Al Corte has no accounts, no bank connection, no analytics, no ads, and no server of our own. Your balance, movements, subscriptions, and settings are stored only on your iPhone. The only network traffic is anonymous requests for public currency exchange rates, which contain nothing but currency codes.

1. Who we are

Al Corte (hereinafter, "the App") is developed and operated by Ingeniería.dev, led by Chris Flores (hereinafter, "we", "the Developer").

2. What data we collect

None. "Collect" here means what it means on the App Store privacy label: data that leaves your device and reaches us. Nothing does — we do not operate a server. Al Corte was built with privacy by default. The App:

Every amount in the App is entered by you, by hand.

3. What is stored on your device

The App stores locally only what's needed to calculate your daily allowance:

DataPurposeLocation
Settings: base currency, pay schedule (payday or cutoff days), savings reserve, optional travel currency and manual exchange rate, setup state Calculate your pay period and your daily allowance Device (SwiftData, in the App's private storage)
Movements: amount, currency, exchange rate at entry, type (expense, income, or balance adjustment), date, optional category and note Compute your balance, today's spending, and your history Device (SwiftData, in the App's private storage)
Subscriptions: name, amount, currency, recurrence (monthly day or weekday), active status, and start and end dates Set recurring charges aside and record them automatically on their due date Device (SwiftData, in the App's private storage)
Categories: name, emoji, color, and order Organize your movements Device (SwiftData, in the App's private storage)
Cached exchange rates: currency code, rate, source, and last update time Convert amounts to your base currency, including while offline Device (SwiftData, in the App's private storage)
Language preference Remember the language you chose Device (UserDefaults)

That is the complete list. The App never sends this data to the Developer or to anyone else, and it does not sync it through iCloud or CloudKit. Like any app data, it may be included in your iPhone's own device backup (iCloud Backup or a computer backup) if you have that enabled — those backups are managed by Apple and by you, not by us. If you delete the App, all of this information is removed with it.

4. External services used

Al Corte has no backend of its own. To convert currencies, it downloads public exchange rates from up to three free, public providers. They are queried in order — the second and third only if the previous one is unavailable:

Each request is an anonymous HTTPS GET that contains only currency codes (for example, your base currency and the currencies to convert). It never contains your balance, your movements, your subscriptions, or any identifier. The App uses an ephemeral connection with no cookies and no stored credentials. As with any internet connection, the provider can see your device's IP address; its handling is governed by each provider's own policies. Downloaded rates are cached on your device, and you can also enter a manual rate or keep using the last cached rate without any connection.

The About section of Settings contains optional links (to these legal pages and, once available, to rate the App on the App Store). They open only when you tap them, outside the App, and share no data.

5. System permissions

Al Corte requests no system permissions. It does not request access to: location, camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, reminders, photos, media library, Bluetooth, local network, notifications, motion and fitness, health data, or HealthKit.

6. Marketing and advertising

The App displays no ads. We do not collect data for remarketing, profiling, segmentation, behavioral analysis, credit scoring, or any promotional purpose. We do not participate in ad networks, and we do not sell information to third parties. The App never requests App Tracking Transparency permission because it performs no tracking of any kind.

7. Minors

Because the App requires no registration and the Developer collects no data, it complies with COPPA (US), LGPD Infantil (Brazil), and GDPR-K (EU) by design.

8. User rights (GDPR, CCPA, LFPDPPP, LGPD)

Even though we collect no data, the following rights are guaranteed by design:

For any questions about your rights, please email [email protected].

9. Financial context

Al Corte is a personal budgeting calculator, not a bank, a payment service, or a financial advisor. It does not move money, does not connect to any account, and does not provide financial, tax, or investment advice. Daily allowances are estimates based only on the amounts you enter, and exchange rates are informational.

10. Security

Local data is stored inside the iOS sandbox, protected by the operating system and by device-level disk encryption (Apple's Data Protection API). The App's data is inaccessible to other apps on the device. Exchange-rate requests travel over encrypted HTTPS connections.

11. International transfers

We do not store personal data on any server, so the Developer performs no international transfers. Exchange-rate requests contain no personal data and may be served from the providers' servers in any country.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the App or to applicable law. The current version will always be published at this URL, along with the date of the last update. Material changes will also be announced inside the App.

13. Governing law

This Policy is governed by the laws of the United Mexican States, in particular the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP). Any dispute will be submitted to the competent courts of Mexico City.
