Outfox

Legal & Help

Privacy & Support

Outfox is a biweekly budget tracker. This page explains what happens to your data, and how to reach us if something's wrong.

Privacy Policy

Effective September 13, 2026

The short version: Outfox doesn't collect your data. Your budget periods, transactions, categories, and recurring expenses are stored on your device and, if you turn on iCloud Sync, in your own private iCloud account. We — the developer — never see any of it.

What's stored, and where

Everything you enter into Outfox — starting balances, income, expenses, categories, recurring templates — is saved locally on your device using Apple's on-device storage framework. Nothing is sent to us or to any server we operate, because we don't operate one.

iCloud Sync (optional)

If you turn on Sync with iCloud in the side menu, your data is copied to your private CloudKit database — a storage space tied to your own iCloud account, used so your budget can follow you across your own devices. Apple's standard account security applies to that data. We have no access to it, no visibility into it, and no way to read it. You can turn Sync off at any time from the same menu.

We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking of any kind. Outfox contains no third-party SDKs, no ad networks, and doesn't share information with anyone — because there's nothing for us to share.

Accounts

Outfox has no login, no sign-up, and no user account beyond your own device's Apple ID (used only for the optional iCloud Sync above).

Children's privacy

Outfox is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age — see above.

Common questions

Q How do I get my data out of Outfox?
Open the side menu (the ☰ icon) and choose Export Database for a full JSON backup, or open any pay period and use Export CSV for a spreadsheet-friendly copy of just that period.
Q Does my budget follow me to another device?
Turn on Sync with iCloud in the side menu on every device signed into the same iCloud account. It may take the app one relaunch to pick up the setting.
Q How do I delete a period, category, or expense?
Swipe left on any row — periods, transactions, categories, and recurring templates can all be removed this way.
Q How do I remove everything, permanently?
Deleting the app removes all local data. If iCloud Sync was on, also turn it off first from the side menu so a reinstall doesn't pull the old data back down.
Q I found a bug.
Email us at the address above with what you were doing when it happened — the more detail, the faster it gets fixed.
