SukSuk Allowance (the "App") takes your privacy seriously and is designed to handle as little personal information as possible. This policy explains clearly what information the App handles and how.
1. Information We Collect
To provide its features, the App stores the following information that you enter yourself on your device.
| Family members | Each member's name (or nickname) and emoji |
|---|---|
| Parent PIN | A 4-digit code that locks Parent Mode (stored only on the device) |
| Money activity | Virtual currency balances, savings, investment holdings and shop items |
| Transaction history | Allowance, purchase, savings and investment records, with notes and dates |
All of the above are values you choose to enter. The App never asks for real identifying or financial information such as legal names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses or payment cards. All currency and transactions are virtual, for educational use only.
2. Where Your Information Is Stored
- On your device — By default, all data is stored locally on your device (Apple SwiftData).
- iCloud sync (optional) — If you are signed in to iCloud, your data is stored and synced in your own private iCloud database (Apple CloudKit Private Database) so it stays in sync across your family's devices. This data is protected by your Apple Account and handled under Apple's privacy policy.
3. Third-Party Sharing and External Transfers
- The App does not sell, provide or share your information with any third party.
- The App does not use advertising SDKs, third-party analytics services or tracking technologies.
- Apart from syncing through Apple iCloud and the "Send Feedback" and "Anonymous Usage Statistics" described below, the App does not send data anywhere.
Send Feedback — Feedback is sent only when a parent chooses to send it via "Send Feedback" in Parent Mode. The selected category and the message you write, along with the app version, iOS version, device type and device language setting, are delivered to the developer's Apple CloudKit storage. Your name and email address are included only if you choose to enter them so we can reply. Family members and transaction history are never included. Feedback is used only to reply to you and to improve the App. To have your feedback deleted, contact us at the address below.
Anonymous Usage Statistics — To understand how many families use the App and to fix bugs, the App sends the following anonymous statistics to Apple iCloud (CloudKit). Only the developer can read them.
- A random ID created at installation (not linked to your device, Apple Account or other apps, and changes if you reinstall)
- App version, iOS version, and region and language settings
- How many times and on which days the App was opened, the installation date and the number of days since installation
- Diagnostic reports when the App freezes or crashes (app version, iOS version, device type and technical details of the error)
These never include names, contact details, location, or anything you enter such as family members or transaction history. They are sent only while you are signed in to iCloud.
4. Children's Privacy
The App is designed to be used by families together and may be used by children. The App does not collect personally identifiable information such as real names or contact details from children, and children's settings and data are stored on the device under the supervision of a parent or guardian. The App does not send children's information outside the device or share it with third parties. The anonymous usage statistics in Section 3 contain nothing that could reveal who is using the App.
In line with the principles of the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the Personal Information Protection Act of the Republic of Korea, the App is designed so that children's personal information is not collected externally.
5. Device Permissions
The App may ask for the following permissions, all of which are optional.
- Notifications — May be used to let you know about things like interest payouts. Notifications are handled on the device, and you can use all core features without allowing them.
- Camera — Used only to scan barcodes for barcode payments. Camera images are never stored or sent.
- Face ID / Touch ID — Used only to confirm a parent (to unlock parent features). Authentication is handled on the device by iOS, and the App never receives or stores biometric data.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
- Device data — Deleting the App also deletes the data stored on your device.
- iCloud data — Data synced to iCloud can be deleted in iOS under Settings → Apple Account → iCloud → Manage Storage by removing the App's data.
- You can also delete individual items, such as members or transactions, directly in Parent Mode.
7. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the law or in the App's features. If there are significant changes, we will announce them on this page, and the updated policy takes effect as soon as it is posted.
