DitchList Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

DitchList (“the app,” “we,” “us”) helps you save money by skipping small impulse purchases and putting that money toward a goal you actually want. This policy explains what data the app handles and how you stay in control of it.

The short version

• We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or any contact info.
• We do not track you, show ads, or sell or share your data with third parties or advertisers.
• The only data we store is what you create inside the app — your goals, the impulses you define, and the “ditches” you log — tied to an anonymous account.
• You can permanently delete your account and all of your data from inside the app at any time.

What we collect

When you first open DitchList, the app creates an anonymous account for you. This account is identified only by a randomly generated ID; it is not linked to your real-world identity, your Apple ID, or any contact information.

Against that anonymous account we store the data you enter:

• Goals — the name and dollar target of things you’re saving for.
• Impulses — the names and prices of recurring purchases you choose to track.
• Ditches — a record each time you skip an impulse, and the amount saved.

We do not collect device identifiers for tracking, advertising identifiers, location, contacts, photos, or analytics about how you use the app.

How your data is stored and protected

• Your data is stored in our backend (Supabase / PostgreSQL) and is protected by Row Level Security, so each account can only ever read or modify its own data.
• All communication between the app and the backend uses encrypted HTTPS (TLS).
• Your authentication token is stored in the device’s secure Keychain, not in plain storage.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your data only while your account exists. You can delete everything at any time:

Wish List → Settings (gear icon) → Delete account

Deleting your account permanently removes your account and all associated goals, impulses, and ditches from our backend. This action cannot be undone.

Children’s privacy

DitchList is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the “Last updated” date above and post the revised policy at the URL linked from within the app.
