Fritter helps you track what you spend and build better money habits. We collect only what the app needs to do that, we never sell your data, and you can delete everything from inside the app at any time.
Who we are
Fritter (“Fritter”, “we”, “us”) is the developer of the Fritter mobile application. If you have any question about this policy or your data, contact us at support@getfritter.com.
Information we collect
Account information. When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive an identifier, the email address associated with your account, and (the first time) the name your provider shares. If you use Apple’s “Hide My Email,” we only ever see the private relay address. Before you create an account, the app runs on an anonymous session so your data isn’t lost; signing in links that history to your account.
Spending you log. The transactions you record — amount, currency, merchant, category, note, and date — plus the savings you log, the recurring bills you declare (name, amount, day of month), and derived figures like daily totals, scores, and streaks.
Onboarding answers. The goals and habits you tell us during setup (for example your saving goal — in your own words if you write one — your spending style, age range, and the categories where you feel money leaks; and, only if you choose to share it, your monthly income). This lets the app personalize its feedback.
Your Journey data. If you use the Journey (Fritter’s year-long habit program), we keep the record of which tasks you completed and when, and the numbers and short notes you choose to enter as part of tasks — for example savings targets, debt balances and rates, income figures, net-worth estimates, goals with amounts and dates, and written reflections or commitments. This is some of the most personal data in the app: it is stored under the same protections as your spending, used only to run the Journey and its coaching, and deleted with your account. Some task answers are kept only on your device.
Photos you choose to scan. When you scan a receipt or a payment screenshot, the image is sent for one-time processing to read the amount and merchant. The image is never stored on our servers — not by us and not by our AI provider — and is discarded as soon as the text is extracted. Only the extracted values (which you confirm) are saved. As with any iOS app, a temporary copy may exist briefly in the app’s own sandbox on your device while the image is being processed.
Voice logging. If you log by voice (“log an expense in Fritter”), Siri converts your speech to text on Apple’s side — Fritter has no microphone access and never receives or stores audio. We receive the short text transcript, use it (including via our AI provider) to extract the amount and merchant, and keep it with the resulting log.
Subscription status. Whether you have an active subscription and which plan, provided through Apple and our subscription manager. We never see or store your card or payment details.
Usage analytics. Product events (for example “app opened,” “log created,” “paywall viewed”) that help us understand how the app is used and improve it. These events are linked to a random account identifier — not to your name or email — and never include amounts, merchant names, or anything you write. If the app crashes, a technical crash report (the error type and code location) is sent so we can fix it.
How we use your information
To run the core features — recording spending, scoring your day, tracking streaks, generating weekly insights, and running your Journey (daily tasks, XP, badges, and progress).
To generate AI feedback: reading receipts, one-line verdicts on a spend, answers in the Ask assistant, Journey analyses, and your weekly wrap.
To manage your subscription and restore purchases.
To send the local reminders you turn on (these are scheduled on your device; we run no push servers).
To understand aggregate usage and fix problems.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your spending data for advertising. Fritter contains no advertising SDKs and does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
AI processing
Fritter’s AI features are powered by Anthropic’s Claude models, called only from our own servers — the app itself never talks to Anthropic directly. Depending on the feature, we send: the receipt or screenshot image you scan (processed transiently, never retained), the voice transcript of a spoken log, the question you type to the assistant, compact summaries of your spending (totals, categories, and top merchants — for Journey analyses covering up to roughly the past year), your stated goal in your own words, and — for Journey tasks that work with them — the figures and short notes you have declared in the Journey. Anthropic processes this data to return a result and does not use it to train its models.
Who we share data with
We use a small set of service providers (“sub-processors”) to operate Fritter. They may process your data only to provide their service to us:
Supabase
Secure database, authentication, and backend hosting for your account, spending, and Journey data.
Anthropic
AI processing for receipt scanning, spend verdicts, the Ask assistant, Journey analyses, and weekly insights.
Apple
Sign in with Apple, Siri speech-to-text for voice logging, and processing of subscription payments through the App Store.
Google
Sign in with Google, if you choose it.
RevenueCat
Managing and validating subscription status, under your random account identifier.
PostHog
Product analytics and crash reports, under your random account identifier.
To convert currencies, the app also fetches public exchange rates (from open.er-api.com). No personal data is sent with these requests — as with any web request, the provider technically sees your device’s IP address, and nothing more.
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and our service.
Data retention
We keep your account, spending, and Journey data for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile and everything associated with it — spending, savings, bills, insights, chat, and Journey data — are permanently removed from our systems. One honest detail: when you clear an assistant conversation inside the app, the message text is erased immediately, but an empty timestamp record is kept so free-usage limits can’t be reset by clearing history; deleting your account removes those records too. Analytics events that are no longer tied to an account may be retained in aggregate.
Your rights and choices
Delete everything. Go to Settings → Delete account to permanently erase your account and every spend you’ve logged. This cannot be undone.
Export your data. Settings lets you export your full transaction history as a CSV file at any time.
Access and correction. You can view and edit your data inside the app, or email us to request a copy.
Reminders. You control local reminders in Settings, and notifications in your device’s system settings.
Depending on where you live (for example the EU/UK under GDPR, or California under CCPA), you may have additional rights to access, correct, port, or object to the processing of your data. To exercise them, contact us at the email below.
Security
Your data is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored with access controls so that each account can only reach its own data. If you turn on the Face ID app lock, the biometric check happens entirely on your device — we never receive or store any biometric data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information using industry-standard measures.
International transfers
Our service providers may process and store data in countries other than your own, including the United States and the European Union. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers.
Children
Fritter is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
