Anchor

Privacy Policy

Effective July 9, 2026

The short version

Anchor keeps everything on your phone. There are no accounts, no servers, and no analytics, and we never see your budget. The only time Anchor uses the internet is to check for app updates.

Information we collect

None. Anchor has no sign-up, no login, and no user accounts. Your income, bills, spending, streaks, and everything else you enter is created and kept entirely on your own device. We don't collect it, and we have no way to see it.

Where your data lives

Everything you enter is stored locally on your device using its standard on-device storage. It is never uploaded to us or anyone else. If you delete Anchor, that data is removed from your device along with it.

App updates

Anchor uses Expo's over-the-air update service to deliver improvements and fixes. When the app checks for an update, it contacts Expo's servers with basic technical details — such as your app version, your device platform (iOS or Android), and the update channel.

These requests never include your financial data or anything you enter into the app. Expo's handling of this technical information is covered by Expo's privacy policy.

No tracking, ads, or third parties

  • No advertising and no ad identifiers.
  • No third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.
  • No cookies and no cross-app tracking.

Children's privacy

Anchor does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The app is rated 4+.

Deleting your data

You're always in control. Open Settings → Reset all data in the app to erase everything instantly, or delete the app to remove all locally stored data from your device.

Platform information

When you download Anchor through the App Store or TestFlight, Apple may collect standard information such as downloads and crash reports under its own policies. That information is controlled by Apple, not by Anchor.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and revise the effective date above. Any meaningful change will be reflected here.
