Data Deletion Policy

Last updated: April 8, 2026

VoiceSpend ("we", "our", "us") is a voice-first expense tracker that stores your financial data on your device and, optionally, in your personal iCloud account. We do not operate a cloud database for your expense entries. Your data remains under your control.

What data VoiceSpend stores

  • On-device / iCloud content: Expense entries, accounts, categories, tags, and budgets are stored locally on your device. If iCloud is enabled, this data syncs to your personal iCloud Drive container — it lives in your own Apple iCloud account, not on our servers.
  • Audio (transient): When you use Voice Dictation, audio is sent to our backend for processing and is immediately discarded after transcription. We do not permanently store your audio recordings.
  • Subscription balances (Keychain): Your AI Minutes and image-analysis balances are stored in your device's Keychain. This is on-device only and is not uploaded to our servers.
  • Analytics (limited): We collect basic, non-personal usage data (such as website page views) to help improve VoiceSpend and measure performance. Analytics data is not linked to your expense content.

How to delete your data

1) Delete on-device content

  • Open the VoiceSpend app and delete any expense entries, accounts, or other data you no longer need from within the app.
  • Delete the VoiceSpend app to remove all locally stored app data from your device. Reinstalling the app creates a fresh instance with no previous local data.
  • If you exported backups (JSON or CSV) to other apps such as Files, those copies must be deleted separately from those apps.

2) Delete iCloud data

If iCloud sync was enabled, your expense data is stored in your personal iCloud Drive container. To delete it:

  • Go to iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Storage → VoiceSpend and delete the app's storage.
  • Alternatively, deleting the app and then going to Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Storage lets you remove the iCloud container directly.

3) Analytics data — why individual deletion is not possible

VoiceSpend's website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect basic, anonymous usage data such as page views and click events. This data is collected without any user identifier — no account, no device ID, and no advertiser ID (IDFA). Events are aggregated and cannot be linked back to any individual user.

Because there is no user identifier attached to any analytics event, individual deletion of analytics data is technically not possible — even by us. There is no row in a database that belongs to you, so there is nothing to find or remove.

If you would like to stop future analytics data collection, you can opt out at the iOS level:

  • Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements and turn off Share iPhone Analytics.

This prevents your device from sending any analytics data to any app, including VoiceSpend. If you have questions about our data practices, please contact us at the address below.

4) Subscriptions & billing

Subscriptions and billing are handled by Apple. To manage or cancel a subscription, go to iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Refund requests are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
