Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to:

• the MeterJournal iOS application;
• our legal and informational website pages;
• premium purchase and entitlement management connected to the app.

2. Data We Process

Depending on how you use MeterJournal, the following categories of data may be processed:

• Meter data you enter: meter names, meter types, units, tariff setup, pricing information, budgets, billing cycle settings, and reading history.
• Optional reading images: if you choose to attach a photo to a reading or use OCR scanning, the image may be stored locally on your device.
• App settings: selected language, currency, theme, notification preferences, onboarding state, and other local preferences.
• Purchase and subscription data: product identifiers, purchase history, subscription status, receipt-related information, entitlement status, and an app-specific or anonymous identifier used to determine premium access.
• Support communications: if you contact us directly, we may receive your email address and the contents of your message.

3. Local Storage and Offline-First Behavior

MeterJournal is designed to work primarily on-device. In the current app version, meter data, reading history, budgets, settings, and related usage information are generally stored locally on your device unless you choose to export data yourself.

If you delete the app, use the in-app “Delete app data” action, or erase your device, locally stored app data may be permanently removed.

4. Camera, OCR, and Notifications

• Camera access: used only if you choose to scan a meter using OCR.
• Photo processing: images used for OCR are processed to detect meter values.
• Notifications: used only if you enable reading reminders or abnormal usage alerts.

5. Premium Purchases, Apple, and RevenueCat

MeterJournal offers optional premium features through Apple In-App Purchases. Payment processing, billing, renewals, cancellations, and refunds are handled by Apple through your App Store account.

We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions, validate entitlements, support purchase restoration, and determine whether premium features should be unlocked. In connection with that functionality, RevenueCat may process purchase history, subscription status, product identifiers, receipt-related data, locale or currency context, and an anonymous or app-specific user identifier.

For more information, see RevenueCat Privacy Policy and Apple Privacy.

6. How We Use Data

We use data only as reasonably necessary to:

• provide the core meter tracking and bill estimation functionality;
• save and display readings, forecasts, budgets, and historical comparisons;
• enable OCR scanning when you request it;
• deliver local reminders and abnormal usage alerts if enabled;
• determine premium entitlement status and restore purchases;
• respond to support requests and protect the service against misuse;
• comply with legal obligations.

7. Legal Bases

Where required by applicable law, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

• performance of a contract to provide the app and premium features;
• consent for optional permissions such as camera and notifications;
• legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the service;
• legal obligations where applicable.

8. Sharing of Data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data with:

• Apple, for in-app purchase processing and subscription management;
• RevenueCat, for subscription, entitlement, and receipt-status management;
• service providers who help us operate the website, email, or support channels, only as reasonably necessary;
• authorities or legal advisors, if required by law or to protect legal rights.

9. Data Retention

• Local app data remains on your device until you delete it, delete the app, or use the in-app delete data option.
• Purchase and entitlement records may be retained by Apple and RevenueCat under their own retention schedules and policies.
• Support communications may be retained as long as reasonably necessary to respond and maintain records.

10. International Data Transfers

If third-party providers such as RevenueCat or website infrastructure providers process data outside your country, your data may be transferred to other jurisdictions. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards under applicable law.

11. Your Choices and Rights

You may be able to:

• disable notifications in the app or in iOS settings;
• deny camera access in iOS settings;
• delete local app data using the in-app delete action;
• delete the app from your device;
• manage subscriptions through your Apple App Store account;
• contact us regarding access, correction, or deletion requests where applicable by law.

12. Children’s Privacy

MeterJournal is not directed to children under the age at which consent is required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of applicable law.

13. Website Hosting

If you visit this website, our hosting provider may automatically receive standard technical request data such as IP address, browser details, and server log information required to deliver the site.
