This Privacy Policy applies to Kotori on iOS.
Data Processing
Kotori does not upload your financial data to the developer's servers.
Everything you record is processed locally on your device:
- Recording expenses you enter by voice, text, Siri, or Shortcuts
- Converting speech to text on-device (Apple Speech framework)
- Parsing and categorizing entries on-device, optionally accelerated by Apple Intelligence where supported
- Learning your categorization preferences locally — this learning data stays on your device
- Storing transactions, wallets, and categories locally (Core Data)
iCloud Sync
If you enable it, your ledger syncs across your own devices through your private iCloud account (Apple CloudKit). This data lives in your personal iCloud; the developer cannot access it.
Microphone & Speech Recognition
The microphone is used only while you are actively recording an entry. Audio is used for on-device speech recognition and is not sent to the developer.
Third-Party Advertising
Kotori may display ads through Google AdMob where available. Google may collect:
- Device identifiers
- Coarse location derived from IP
- Ad interaction data
See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
Data Retention
- Your transactions and settings remain on your device (and in your iCloud, if sync is enabled) until you delete them or remove the app
- Advertising-related data is handled according to Google's own policies
Your Choices
- You can use the app entirely without voice by typing entries
- You can disable microphone, Siri, or iCloud access in system settings at any time
- You can manage ad and privacy preferences through your device settings and any consent flow provided by the app or Google
Children's Privacy
Kotori is not directed to children under 13, and the app does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The updated version will be posted with a revised date.
