DueDock Privacy Policy

DueDock is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your financial information.

Information We Collect

DueDock does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information or financial data.

Data Storage and Usage

• Local Storage Only: All your financial data (bills, income, payment history) is stored locally on your device using Apple's secure storage frameworks.
• No Cloud Services: DueDock does not use cloud storage, analytics, or third-party data services.
• No Tracking: We do not use analytics, tracking pixels, or any form of user monitoring.
• No Data Sharing: Your data never leaves your device and is never shared with third parties.

Data Security

• Device-Level Security: Your data is protected by your device's built-in security features (Face ID, Touch ID, passcode).
• Local Encryption: Data is encrypted using iOS standard encryption when your device is locked.
• No Network Transmission: Since data never leaves your device, there's no risk of interception during transmission.

On-Device Feature Access

DueDock requests specific permissions to enhance your local experience. These permissions are used exclusively on your device:

• Camera Access: Used to scan bills for automatic data entry and to take photos of receipts for your personal records. All processing happens on-device; images are stored locally and never transmitted.
• Calendar Access: Used only to cross-reference payment dates with regional holidays. We do not read your personal events or write to your calendar.
• Face ID / Biometrics: Used locally to access Payment History if the "Privacy Lock" feature is enabled (Premium feature only).

App Updates & Connectivity (Opt-In Only)

DueDock is designed as an offline-first app. However, it can optionally check for app updates to ensure you're using the most secure and up-to-date version.

• Check for Updates: This feature is OFF by default. When explicitly enabled in Settings, the app will periodically check a small configuration file on our server to see if a newer version of DueDock is available.
• Anonymized Connectivity: Version checks involve a simple network handshake that doesn't involve any of your financial data, account information, or personal identifiers.
• Offline Integrity: All core features—including bill tracking, income forecasting, and premium features—remain entirely functional without an internet connection.

Apple-Managed Services

Certain features are handled entirely by Apple and are subject to Apple's Privacy Policy:

• App Store Subscriptions: If you purchase a premium subscription, the transaction is processed and managed entirely by Apple. DueDock does not receive or store your payment details.
• Crash Reports: If you have opted in to share diagnostics with app developers through your device settings, Apple may provide us with anonymized crash reports to help improve app stability. These reports contain no personal or financial data.
• Support Email: If you contact us via email, we will receive your email address and any information you choose to share. We do not use this for marketing or share it with third parties.

Your Rights

• Full Control: You have complete control over your data and can delete it at any time through the app.
• Data Export: You can export your data at any time through the app's backup feature.
• No Account Required: DueDock works without creating any accounts or providing personal information.
