Privacy Policy

DinoWallet 恐龍記帳 · last updated 24 October 2026

The short version

DinoWallet does not collect your data, because it never receives it. Your entries, receipts, balances and attachments are stored on your iPhone and, if you turn on iCloud, in your own private iCloud account. We have no server that your figures pass through and no way to read them.

DinoWallet makes no network requests of its own: nothing is sent to us or to any other company. The only network use is Apple’s — iCloud sync if you leave it on, and App Store purchases.

What stays on the device

Everything you type, say, photograph or import:

• entries, bills, budgets, standing items and categories
• accounts, balances and the readings behind the net-worth line
• the dinosaur meadow, your daily check-in streak, your coins and what you spent them on
• photographs and PDFs attached to an entry
• the text read off a receipt

Receipts are read on the phone. Text recognition uses Apple’s Vision framework; where the device supports it, Apple’s on-device model works out the shop, the total and a category. Neither sends the picture or the text off the device. On devices without that model the same job is done by rules built into the app — also on the device.

Speech recognition for voice entry is set to on-device recognition.

iCloud

If you leave iCloud on, your books sync between your own devices through Apple’s CloudKit, inside your personal iCloud account. Apple’s terms cover that storage. We cannot see it. Turning on Local only in Settings keeps everything on one device.

If you share a book with family, the people you invite can read and add to that book. That sharing also runs through your iCloud account.

What we do receive

Nothing you enter. Two things happen outside the app and are handled by Apple, not by us:

• Purchases. Membership is sold through the App Store. Apple tells the app whether a purchase is active. We never see your name, your payment details or your Apple Account.
• Crash and usage reports, only if you have agreed to share them with developers in iOS Settings. Those come from Apple, are aggregated, and contain no ledger data.

Face ID

The app lock is optional and off unless you turn it on. It uses Apple’s LocalAuthentication, which means the app asks the system whether it is you and receives a single yes or no.

DinoWallet never receives, sees or stores any biometric data. Your face data stays in the Secure Enclave on your device; there is no interface that would let an app read it, and we hold none of it. Nothing biometric is collected, which is why none is declared.

Analytics and advertising

There are none. No third-party analytics, no advertising identifiers, no trackers.

Children

DinoWallet is a household ledger and is not directed at children.

Deleting your data

Delete the app and the copy on that device goes. To remove what is in iCloud, delete the books inside the app first, or remove the app’s data in Settings ▸ Apple Account ▸ iCloud ▸ Manage Storage.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
