Bean Tax Privacy Policy
Bean Tax is an iPhone app for keeping records of business activities, mileage, and expenses. In short: your records stay on your iPhone. We don't collect, see, sell, or share any of your data.
What the app stores
Everything you enter: businesses, activities, addresses, times, mileage, expenses, notes, people met, and receipt photos. It's stored only on your device, inside the app. Bean Tax has no account, no sign-in, and no server of its own.
Location
If you tap a location button or start tracking an activity, Bean Tax asks for your location while the app is in use. It uses it once to fill in an address, then stops. Bean Tax does not track you in the background or keep a location history.
Apple Maps
To turn a location into an address and to calculate driving miles, Bean Tax sends the location or addresses to Apple's mapping service. Apple handles that information under Apple's Privacy Policy. It isn't linked to any Bean Tax account, because there isn't one.
Camera and photos
The camera and photo library are used only when you choose to attach a receipt. The photo you pick is saved with that expense in the app. Bean Tax doesn't read the rest of your photo library.
Exports and sharing
When you export a CSV report or share an activity summary, iOS's share sheet sends it only where you choose: Mail, Messages, Files, and so on. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you do this.
Analytics, ads, and tracking
None. Bean Tax has no advertising, no analytics or tracking tools, and no third-party SDKs. If you choose to share crash reports with developers in your iPhone settings or in TestFlight, Apple passes anonymous crash reports to us. They help fix bugs and contain no records you've entered.
Backups and deleting your data
Your iPhone's own backups (iCloud Backup or a computer backup) may include the app's data, depending on your settings. You can delete individual records in the app. Deleting the app deletes all of its data from the device.
Children
Bean Tax is a business record-keeping tool and isn't directed at children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, this page will be updated and the effective date above will change.
