The short version: ABL Budget stores your financial information locally on your device. It does not require an account, connect to your bank, use advertising trackers or send your budget data to Apps by Lewis.
Who this policy applies to
This policy explains how Apps by Lewis, operated by Lewis Moon in the United Kingdom, handles information in connection with the ABL Budget iPhone app and its support website.
Information stored by the app
ABL Budget stores the information you enter—including income, outgoings, categories, recurring entries, savings pots and appearance preferences—in a local database on your device.
This information is used only to provide the app’s budgeting features. The app does not transmit this financial information to Apps by Lewis.
Information we do not collect
ABL Budget does not:
- require you to create an account;
- connect to or access your bank account;
- collect analytics about how you use the app;
- include third-party advertising or advertising trackers;
- sell or share your financial information; or
- use your information for profiling or targeted advertising.
Device backups
Your device’s operating system or backup provider may include app data in a device backup, depending on your settings. Any such backup is controlled by you and the relevant platform provider, not by Apps by Lewis.
Support emails
If you choose to contact support, your email provider sends the message using your chosen mail app. Apps by Lewis receives the email address, message and any information you voluntarily include. This information is used to respond to your request and may be retained where reasonably necessary to manage support or legal obligations.
Please do not include sensitive financial information in a support email.
This website
This website does not use analytics, advertising trackers or non-essential cookies. Its hosting provider may process standard technical request information—such as IP address, browser type and request time—to deliver and protect the website.
Deleting your information
You can remove financial information from within ABL Budget by opening Settings and selecting Delete all data. Uninstalling the app also removes its locally stored data from the device, subject to any device backups you control.
To ask for deletion of support correspondence, email lewis@appsbylewis.com.
Security
Keeping information on your device reduces unnecessary transmission, but no storage method is completely secure. Protect your device with an appropriate passcode and keep its operating system up to date.
Changes to this policy
If ABL Budget’s data practices change, this policy will be updated before or alongside the relevant app update. The effective date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised.
