Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 12, 2026
Wance is a personal budgeting app that helps you manage budgets, track spending and income, and understand your daily allowance.
We designed Wance to collect as little personal information as possible.
Your Data
Wance may store information you enter into the app, such as:
- Budgets and budget settings
- Expenses, income, and balance adjustments
- Categories
- Saved transactions
- Activity in shared budgets
This information is primarily stored on your device.
Wance does not connect to your bank account and does not require your banking credentials.
iCloud
If you enable private iCloud sync, your Wance data may be stored in your private iCloud database using Apple's CloudKit service. This data is associated with your Apple Account and is handled according to Apple's privacy terms.
If you share a budget, Wance stores that budget and its related transactions, balance adjustments, category details, and activity in a CloudKit share. People you invite can access the shared budget through their Apple Accounts. Participants with editing access can change shared data, and those changes can be seen by other participants. Your other budgets are not included in that share.
Wance may show participants' iCloud names and their changes in the shared budget's Activity view. Apple handles the invitation and sharing controls.
Purchases
Wance uses Apple's In-App Purchase system for subscriptions and purchases.
Payments are processed by Apple. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.
Wance also uses RevenueCat to manage subscription access and restore purchases. RevenueCat may process limited purchase and technical information needed for this purpose, including subscription status, purchase history, transaction information, and an anonymous or app-specific identifier.
Category Suggestions and Receipt Scanning
Wance may suggest expense categories based on information you enter.
Category suggestions and receipt text recognition are processed on your device using Apple's language-processing and Vision technologies. Your transaction text and receipt images are not sent to an external AI service for these features.
Widgets
If you use a Wance widget, aggregate budget information is made available to the widget so it can display your budget status on your device. The widget does not read individual transactions from Wance's database.
Analytics and Advertising
Wance does not sell your personal information.
Wance does not use your budgeting data for advertising or behavioral tracking.
Wance does not intentionally collect your precise location, contacts, banking credentials, or browsing history.
Support
If you contact us, we may receive information you choose to provide, such as your email address, message, screenshots, or diagnostic details.
We use this information only to respond to your request and improve Wance.
Data Deletion
Your locally stored Wance data remains on your device until you delete it or remove the app.
Data synced privately with iCloud may remain in your private iCloud database until it is deleted through Wance or through your Apple/iCloud account.
If you stop sharing a budget or remove a participant, that participant loses access to future shared changes. Data previously synced to their device may remain there as a read-only local copy until they remove it. Wance cannot delete copies of information that participants have already saved outside the app.
Purchase and subscription information may be retained by Apple and RevenueCat according to their own policies.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including access, correction, or deletion.
Most Wance data can be managed directly inside the app or through your Apple/iCloud settings.
