Privacy Policy

Your Privacy Matters

At Ghollak, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our app. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected and that we comply with all applicable data protection laws and regulations.

Information We Collect

• Financial Data: The data you store in Ghollak — such as account balances, transactions, categories, and checks — is stored locally on your device by default. If you choose to turn on the optional iCloud Sync feature, this data is also stored in your own private iCloud account so it can sync across your devices — see "iCloud Sync" below for details. This data is never transmitted to or stored on any servers operated by Ghollak.
• Device Information: We collect basic device information (such as device type and OS version) to improve app performance and troubleshoot issues.
• Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage statistics to enhance user experience and identify areas for improvement.
• Biometric Data: We use Face ID/Touch ID for authentication, but we never store or transmit your biometric data.
• Photo Library Access: We only access your photo library when you explicitly choose to attach a photo to a transaction.

iCloud Sync

iCloud Sync is an optional feature, available in the full version, that you can turn on in Settings. When enabled, the data you store in Ghollak — such as your accounts, transactions, and checks — is stored in your own private iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit, so your data stays in sync across your devices signed into the same Apple ID. This data is protected by Apple's iCloud encryption and is never transmitted to or stored on any servers operated by Ghollak — as developers, we have no access to your private iCloud data. You can turn iCloud Sync off at any time in Settings; this stops new changes from syncing, but data already in iCloud is not automatically deleted.
