Privacy Policy — Salary Tracker

Effective date: May 2, 2026 · Last updated: May 2, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Salary Tracker ("we", "the app", or "this application") handles information when you use the mobile application on iOS and Android. By installing or using Salary Tracker, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Summary

Salary Tracker stores all of your personal data — names, salary, shifts, jobs, expenses, and tax inputs — only on your device. The app has no user accounts and does not require sign-in. The only network activity is the optional Japan Take-home Plus in-app purchase, which uses a third-party payment validator (RevenueCat) and only transmits an anonymous purchase identifier and your App Store receipt. No salary, shift, expense, dependent, or payroll-calculation data ever leaves your device.

2. Information You Enter (Stored on Your Device)

The app lets you create and save the following data, which is stored locally inside your device's app sandbox using the standard browser localStorage mechanism wrapped by Capacitor:

• Profile name (used only to greet you in the app)
• Workplace details (name, hourly/daily/monthly pay, overtime rules, allowances, deductions, icon, color)
• Shift records (date, start/end time, break, hours, calculated pay, notes)
• Expense records (date, amount, category, note)
• Recurring monthly expenses (amount, category, day-of-month, start date, note)
• Custom expense categories (name, icon, color)
• Japan Take-home Plus inputs (work style, monthly gross, age, insurance type, prefecture, dependents, resident-tax mode, manual amounts) — when you use that optional feature
• App preferences (language, currency, monthly goal, notification setting)

The app supports multiple profiles, each kept in a separate local storage entry. None of this data is uploaded, synchronized, or shared with us or any third party.

3. In-App Purchases — Japan Take-home Plus

4. Subscription Terms (Japan Take-home Plus Monthly)

• The Monthly subscription is billed at the price shown in the App Store at the time of purchase (USD 0.99 / month or local equivalent).
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• Subscriptions can be managed and auto-renewal can be turned off in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device.
• The Lifetime purchase is a one-time non-consumable in-app purchase that does not auto-renew.

5. Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your email, phone number, or any identity information.
• We do not use cookies or third-party analytics (no Firebase, no Google Analytics, no Facebook SDK).
• We do not access your contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or location.
• We do not display advertising and we do not use any ad-network SDK.
• We do not use crash reporting services that send data off-device.
• We do not track you across other apps or websites.

6. Permissions

Salary Tracker requests no special device permissions on either iOS or Android. The core app works fully offline after installation. Internet access is only used by the optional Japan Take-home Plus feature when you initiate a purchase or restore.

7. Data Export

You can export your data as CSV or PDF at any time from the app's Settings → Export menu. Exported files are saved to your device's storage through the standard system share dialog. We have no access to these files.

8. Data Deletion

You can clear all stored data at any time through Settings → Clear Data, or delete a specific user profile from Settings → Users. Uninstalling the app removes all data. Since nothing is sent to us, there is nothing for us to delete on our side. To request deletion of purchase history held by RevenueCat or Apple, please contact those companies directly using their published privacy contacts.

9. International Users and Data Transfer

App data stays on your device. The optional in-app purchase validation flow may transmit your anonymous purchase identifier and receipt to RevenueCat servers located in the United States and the European Union. By making a purchase you consent to this limited transfer for the sole purpose of validating and managing your subscription or lifetime purchase.

10. Children's Privacy

The app is rated 4+ and is intended for general audiences. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 where required by local law). Because no data is transmitted off-device by the core features, the app is safe for general use. Parents and guardians should still ensure that children have permission before making in-app purchases.

11. Security

App data is stored inside the iOS or Android app sandbox, which the operating system isolates from other apps. iOS encrypts the sandbox at rest while the device is locked. We strongly recommend using a device passcode or biometric lock to protect data on your device. Network calls related to in-app purchases use HTTPS.

12. Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy in a future update, we will update the effective date above and describe the change in the app's release notes. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
