Your data stays yours.

What data CoHalve stores

CoHalve stores the following data on your device only, using Apple's SwiftData framework (which lives in your device's app container):

• Expense records you create (title, amount, date, category, split, status)
• Receipt photos you attach to expenses
• Names you enter for yourself, your co-parent, and your children
• Payment info you enter (e.g., Venmo handle, Zelle email) — for your reference only
• Settings preferences (default split, notification preferences)

None of this data leaves your device except when you choose to share it (see "Sharing" below).

Data we do NOT collect

• No analytics or usage tracking
• No crash reporting services
• No advertising identifiers
• No device fingerprinting
• No account registration or login
• No bank account or payment credentials
• No health or biometric data
• No location data

Sharing data

CoHalve does not share your data with anyone. The only time data leaves your device is when you initiate a share:

• PDF export — tapping "Export" generates a PDF report entirely on-device and opens iOS's standard Share Sheet. You choose where it goes (email, AirDrop, Files, etc.). We have no access to what you share or where.
• Co-parent invite — tapping "Invite co-parent" opens iOS's Share Sheet with a plain-text invite message. We do not send messages on your behalf.

Subscriptions

Premium subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. CoHalve never sees your payment method, billing details, or Apple ID. Apple's Privacy Policy governs that transaction.

iCloud backup

If you have iCloud Backup enabled on your device, your CoHalve data may be included in your device backup — the same as any other app data on your iPhone. This is controlled entirely by your iCloud settings in iOS. We do not independently sync to iCloud.

Data deletion

To delete all CoHalve data: delete the app from your device. This permanently removes all locally stored records, settings, and photos. There is no server-side copy to request deletion of.

You can also delete individual expenses from within the app at any time (swipe left on an expense, or use the delete button in Expense Details).

Children's privacy

CoHalve is designed for adults managing shared family expenses. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Child names entered into the app are stored locally on your device and never transmitted to us.

Third-party services

CoHalve does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data services. The only third-party involved is Apple (App Store distribution and subscription processing).

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the effective date above and note the changes in the App Store release notes. Continued use of the app after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

CoHalve is built with privacy as the default, not an afterthought. Your co-parenting records are sensitive — they stay on your device.
