Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how InvoiceMaker (the "App") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you use it. By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
InvoiceMaker is designed to be local-first: the invoices, clients, and business records you create are stored on your device. We do not operate a user-account system and we do not upload your business data to our servers.
1. Summary (Plain-Language Overview)
- Your business data stays on your device. Invoices, clients, companies, products, receivables, signatures, and logos are stored locally on your device. We cannot see them.
- We do not have accounts or a login. You do not create an account, and we do not host your records.
- Backups are yours to control. Backup and export produce a file that you save and share yourself; we do not receive a copy.
- We use standard third-party services for analytics, crash reporting, advertising, and purchases, which may process limited technical and usage data.
- Ads and tracking require your permission. On iOS you can allow or decline personalized advertising via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt.
- You are in control. You can delete your data in the App or by removing it, and adjust tracking permissions in your device settings at any time.
2. Information We Process
Content you create (stored on your device). The App stores the data you create — such as your company profile, clients, invoices, products, receivables, signatures, and logos — locally on your device. This content is not transmitted to us. If you export, email, or share an invoice or backup, you choose the destination and recipient.
Technical and usage data (third-party services). To operate, maintain, and improve the App, we use trusted third-party services that may automatically collect limited technical and usage data — such as device model, operating system, app version, and pseudonymous identifiers, and usage information such as app opens and features used:
- Google Firebase — usage analytics, crash reporting, and remote configuration.
- Google AdMob — advertising. Personalized ads and cross-app tracking are used only with your permission (Apple's App Tracking Transparency); you can decline and still use the App.
- Apple — in-app purchases and subscriptions. Payments are handled by Apple; we never receive your payment card details.
Each service processes data under its own privacy policy (see Section 10).
3. How We Use Information
- Provide the core features of the App (creating and managing invoices, clients, products, and related records on your device).
- Generate, preview, export, and share invoice PDFs and backups at your request.
- Enable in-app purchases and subscriptions and validate your entitlements.
- Display advertising (subject to your permission) and, where permitted, measure its performance.
- Diagnose crashes, fix bugs, and improve stability and performance.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
4. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Users)
Where the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract — to provide the App's core functionality you request.
- Consent — for personalized advertising, cross-app tracking, and, where required, analytics. You may withdraw consent at any time (see Section 7).
- Legitimate interests — for crash reporting, security, fraud prevention, and improving the App, balanced against your rights.
- Legal obligation — where we must process data to comply with applicable law.
5. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
- Service providers: the third-party services described in Section 2, acting under their own privacy policies.
- At your direction: when you export, email, or share invoices/backups, the data goes to the destination and recipients you choose.
- Legal and safety: if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of users, the public, or us.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.
We do not sell your local business data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own independent marketing.
6. Data Storage, Retention, and Security
- Local storage: Your business content is stored locally on your device. It remains until you delete it in the App or delete the App. Uninstalling the App generally removes locally stored data; back up first if you wish to keep it.
- Third-party retention: Data processed by our service providers is retained according to their respective policies and our configured settings. Analytics and crash data are generally retained for a limited period; aggregated or anonymized data may be retained indefinitely.
- Security: We apply reasonable safeguards and rely on the security protections of the device operating system and of our service providers. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please protect your device with a passcode or biometric lock.
- Breach notification: If a breach affects your personal data, we will notify you in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
7. Your Choices and Rights
- Manage your data: create, edit, and delete your records directly in the App.
- Back up and export: export your data at any time.
- Tracking: on iOS, manage tracking under Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Tracking. You may decline the App Tracking Transparency prompt to prevent cross-app tracking.
- Purchases and subscriptions: manage or cancel subscriptions under your Apple ID Settings ▸ Subscriptions.
- Delete everything: delete the App to remove locally stored data from your device.
Depending on your location (for example, under the GDPR/UK GDPR or the CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, to withdraw consent, and, for California residents, to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information and to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. Because your business content is stored on your device, you can access, correct, and delete it directly in the App. For other requests, contact us at the email below.
8. International Data Transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, an adequacy decision, or other lawful transfer mechanisms established by the relevant provider.
9. Children's Privacy
The App is intended for business and professional use and is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
10. Third-Party Services
The App uses services provided by Google and Apple. Each of these providers processes data under its own privacy policy, available on the provider's official website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice within the App. Your continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
