This page explains, in plain English, how Dollar & Sense handles family chore, allowance, and account data.

What data Dollar & Sense works with

Dollar & Sense is a family chore app and allowance tracker. That means it can store information such as account names, transactions, balances, categories, recurring task schedules, notes, participant permissions, notification settings, and export or import files you choose to create.

Where your data is stored

By default, Dollar & Sense stores app data locally on your device. You can create accounts, add chores, record transactions, and review balances without sending your data to a cloud service operated by Stan Lemon.

Optional iCloud sync and account sharing

Dollar & Sense supports optional iCloud sync and sharing. If you enable iCloud, your family account data can sync across your devices and can be shared with other iCloud users through Apple's CloudKit and sharing systems.

If you share an account, the participants you invite can access the data in that shared account according to the permissions you give them. That means the privacy of shared account data depends in part on who you choose to share with and how you configure their access.

Participant access in shared accounts

Shared accounts can give different people different rights. For example, a child may be able to create pending task transactions without being able to broadly manage confirmed transactions. Another parent may have more complete access. Those permissions are part of the app's design so families can share responsibly.

Notifications and background sync

When you use iCloud-backed accounts, Dollar & Sense may rely on Apple's background notification systems so updates arrive more smoothly across devices. These can include silent notifications used for sync behavior and optional visible reminders that you choose to enable.

Visible reminders, balance summaries, and pending task notifications are optional app features. You can decide whether to enable them in your Apple notification settings and inside the app where relevant.

No third-party tracking and no website analytics

Dollar & Sense does not use third-party ad networks, tracking SDKs, or analytics services inside the app. The website for Dollar & Sense also does not use Google Analytics or other website analytics tools.

That means your use of the app is not being turned into a marketing profile by the developer, and the site itself is not collecting analytics just to count visits.

Export and import

Dollar & Sense supports exporting transaction data so you can keep your own copy. If you later import data, the import file stays under your control. Once you save an export file to email, cloud storage, or another app, the privacy of that file depends on the service you choose to use.

Diagnostics and Apple-provided data

Apple may provide limited crash or diagnostic information through its own platform services if you have enabled that kind of sharing with Apple. Those platform-level signals are separate from third-party analytics, and they do not change the fact that Dollar & Sense avoids adding outside tracking SDKs of its own.

Children and family usage

Dollar & Sense is designed for families, including children using shared accounts with parents. The app is meant to help households track chores and allowance, not to create a public profile for a child or to sell behavioral data about them.

Your choices

You can decide whether to use iCloud, whether to share an account, whether to enable reminders, and whether to export or import data. You can also stop using the app and manage Apple service permissions through your device and iCloud settings.
