Paper is a checkbook register that keeps your ledger on your own device. There is no account to create, no bank to connect, and no advertising or analytics inside the app.
None of the above is sent anywhere by Paper.
If you turn it on, Paper stores your ledger in your own private iCloud database, under your Apple ID. Apple holds that data; we have no server and no way to read it. Turning sync off stops new changes from syncing. Deleting the app does not delete what is already in iCloud — manage that in Settings → your name → iCloud.
The lock is checked by iOS. Paper receives only a yes or a no; your biometric data never leaves the device and is never available to the app.
Reminders are scheduled by iOS on this device. Paper uses no push service, and no reminder content is sent to us.
Paper asks for camera or photo-library access only at the moment you attach a receipt. The image is copied into the app container, so it travels with your snapshots and exports and is removed when the entry is.
The widget reads the small summary described above. It never opens the database and never writes to it.
CSV and QIF files are created on the device and handed to the share sheet, where you choose the destination. Where that file goes is your decision.
Paper is not directed at children under 13, and it collects nothing from anyone — including children.
Data-protection rules give you the right to see, correct, export and delete the personal data an app holds about you. Paper holds none on our side, and every one of those rights is available to you directly in the app: the register shows and edits your entries, Data & backup exports them, and Erase all data deletes them. If you believe we hold something about you, write to the address below.
If you live in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas or another US state with a consumer privacy statute, those laws give residents the right to know what personal information a business holds, to delete and correct it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. Paper has nothing to disclose: it collects no personal information, runs no analytics or advertising, and does not track you across apps or websites. There is no data to sell, share or correct, and no opt-out to exercise. Everything the app knows stays in its own container on your device, and Settings → Data erases it in one tap.
Paper relies on Apple services only: the App Store for downloads, iCloud for optional sync, iOS for notifications and for the lock. Apple's own privacy policy covers those. No other company receives anything from Paper.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the new version ships in the app. Continuing to use Paper after that means you accept the updated policy.
