Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 25, 2026

PledgeIt is built on a simple promise: your pledges — especially the private ones — stay yours. This policy explains exactly what data the app handles, where it lives, and what we can and cannot see. The short version: almost everything lives on your device, and we never sell, track, or advertise.

1. What stays on your device

Your pledges, daily check-ins, streaks, balances, and your full money trail are stored locally on your device. This includes pledges you mark as Private: their names and history are masked inside the app and protected by your device's biometric authentication.

2. Biometric data

Private pledges can be locked with Face ID or Touch ID. This authentication is performed entirely by iOS. Biometric data never touches PledgeIt, never leaves your device, and is invisible to us. We only receive a yes/no answer from your operating system.

3. Purchases and payments

• All purchases (pledge balance refills) are processed by Apple through In-App Purchases. We never see or store your card details.
• Apple may share limited purchase information with us (for example, to validate that a purchase is genuine) solely to credit your pledge balance.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under their standard policies — request them via App Store support.

4. Notifications

If you enable daily motivation, PledgeIt schedules local notifications on your device (morning, midday, evening). They are generated on-device based on your check-in state. We do not operate a push server and cannot read your activity through notifications.

5. Accounts (when introduced)

PledgeIt is currently local-first. If a server-synced account option is introduced, sign-in will be offered via Sign in with Apple. In that case we will process only what Apple shares with your consent (typically your email and a private relay address) and an account identifier. Any change to this policy will be announced in the app and on this page before it takes effect.

6. What we do NOT do

• We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
• We do not embed third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs.
• We do not read the content of your pledges on any server, because (today) they never leave your device.

7. Data deletion

Deleting the app removes all locally stored pledges and history from your device. If server accounts exist by then, an in-app delete account option will permanently erase your server-side data. You may also request deletion by emailing us.

8. Children

PledgeIt is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. Because money is involved, we encourage parents to keep the app off children's devices.

9. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date above and announce material changes in the app before they take effect.
