Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 18, 2026 · Version 2026-09-18

Renewals is built to help you organise your own subscriptions and bills without giving up your privacy. There is no account, no bank linking, no advertising, and nothing is sold. This policy explains exactly what the app and website do with your information.

Who we are

The Service is published by Vicherana Ventures LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States ("we", "us"). We are the data controller for the limited data described below. Contact: [email protected].

Scope and intended audience

This policy covers the Renewals iOS app, the website at renewals.vicherana.com (including the blog and promo calculator), and reminder emails. The Service is intended for adults in the United States. It is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.

Data stored on your device

The services, bills, prices, dates, adjustment schedules, and reminder settings you enter are stored locally on your device using Apple's on-device database. If iCloud is enabled, this data syncs across your own Apple devices through your private iCloud account, which is controlled by Apple and not accessible to us. We never receive a copy of this data. You can export it at any time from Settings as a spreadsheet, and delete it with "Clear all data" or by removing the app.

Optional online features — what leaves your device

Each feature below is optional and runs only when you use it. When it does, it sends the minimum necessary information to our backend (hosted on Cloudflare) and, where noted, to the provider that powers it.

• Email reminders. If you enter an email address, we store it on our server together with your reminder schedule — service names, the relevant dates, how often each charge is reviewed, and any expected price change you entered — so we can send the reminders you configured. Emails are delivered through Resend. Reminder emails may include cancellation links and offers found by an automated web search; see "AI-generated content" below. You can stop email reminders and delete this data at any time from Settings ("Delete my reminders from our server").
• Bill and statement scanning. If you choose to scan a bill or upload a statement, the image or PDF is sent to our backend and processed by an AI provider (Anthropic) to extract amounts and dates. Documents are processed to return the result and are not stored by us. Do not upload documents containing other people's information or account credentials.
• Price and promotion look-ups. When you ask Renewals to check a service's current price, the service name (not your identity) is sent to our backend and looked up by an AI provider with web search. Results are cached in a shared, anonymous cache keyed only to the service name so other users benefit and costs stay low.
• Price-change alerts. If you use email reminders, we periodically check, by service name only, whether services people track have announced price increases, and may email you about services on your list. This uses the same anonymous, service-keyed cache.
• Unusual-bill alerts. If you use email reminders and log a variable bill that is well above your seasonal norm, the app may ask our server to email you an alert containing the service name, the amount, and the percentage difference.
• Company logos. To show a logo, the app asks our backend for it by domain name (for example "netflix.com"). Our backend retrieves the company's public website icon through a third-party icon service and passes it straight back. We do not keep a copy of the icon on our servers. This request does not include personal information, but it does reveal to our server which services you track.

A device identifier for fair use

Requests to the optional features include an anonymous per-installation identifier (Apple's "identifier for vendor"), used only to apply per-device usage limits and prevent abuse. It is not your name, email, or Apple ID. Because it accompanies your email address when you sync reminders, Apple's App Store disclosures classify email, device identifier, and the financial details in your reminder schedule as data linked to you.

AI-generated content

Price look-ups, cancellation steps, negotiation suggestions, price-change alerts, and bill extraction are produced by artificial-intelligence systems. Your inputs to those features (a service name, or a document you chose to scan) are sent to Anthropic under its API terms, which prohibit training on API inputs. AI output can be wrong; see the Terms of Use and Disclaimers.

What we do not do

• We do not require an account, password, or sign-in.
• We do not connect to, or ask for, your bank, card, or any third-party login.
• We do not use advertising, ad identifiers, or third-party analytics or tracking SDKs in the app.
• We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information for marketing or cross-context behavioural advertising, and have not done so in the preceding 12 months.
• We do not "track" you as Apple defines the term.

The website

renewals.vicherana.com is a static site hosted on Cloudflare Pages. It sets no cookies of ours and uses no analytics scripts. Cloudflare may process connection data (such as IP address and user agent) to serve and protect the site, under its own privacy policy. The promo calculator runs entirely in your browser; the numbers you enter are never sent anywhere.

Service providers

The optional features are supported by a small number of processors acting on our instructions: Cloudflare (hosting, storage, caching), Anthropic (AI extraction and look-ups), Resend (email delivery), and Google's public favicon service (logos, reached through our backend). Apple provides the App Store, on-device storage, iCloud sync, and StoreKit purchases. We do not share personal information with anyone else except as required by law or to protect our rights.

Retention

• On-device and iCloud data: until you delete it or remove the app.
• Email address and reminder schedule: until you remove your email or delete it from Settings; records also expire automatically after about 13 months of inactivity.
• Scanned documents: not retained.
• Per-device usage counters: expire automatically within about 40 days.
• Anonymous price, logo, and alert caches: expire automatically (7 to 90 days).
• Sent-reminder markers (which prevent duplicate emails): expire within about 60 days.

Your rights and choices

You control what the app knows. If you never enter an email or use the scan and look-up features, the core app works entirely on your device and nothing about you reaches us.

Wherever you live, you can: export your on-device data (Settings → Export my data); delete your server-side email and reminder schedule (Settings → Delete my reminders from our server); delete everything (Settings → Clear all data, or remove the app); and manage notification and calendar permissions in iOS Settings. You can also email [email protected] to ask what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted; we will respond within 45 days and will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. We do not currently meet the thresholds of state comprehensive privacy laws such as the CCPA/CPRA, but we honour these requests regardless.

Security

Data in transit is encrypted (HTTPS). Server-side data is limited to what is described above and is protected by access controls and rate limiting. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by law.

Changes

We may update this policy as the Service evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new date and version, and where they affect data we hold about you we will let you know in the app.
