Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 25, 2026

Fare is a subscription tracking app designed to help you manually organize the subscriptions you choose to track.

Fare does not connect to your bank account, scan your email, read your purchase history, or automatically collect subscription information from other apps. The information in Fare is entered and managed by you.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Fare collects, how it is used, and the choices you have.

1. Information You Provide

When you use Fare, you may choose to enter subscription-related information, including:

  • Subscription or service name
  • Website/domain
  • Category
  • Price
  • Billing cycle
  • Plan name
  • Renewal date
  • Payment note
  • Favorite status
  • Reminder preferences
  • Timeline/activity history created from your actions in the app
  • Widget layout and app preferences

This information is used to provide Fare's core features, including active subscription tracking, favorites, renewal calendars, overview widgets, insights, timeline history, reminders, import/export, and cloud sync if enabled.

Fare is designed as a manual tracking app. You control what information you add.

2. Local Storage

Fare stores your subscription data locally on your device so the app can function without requiring an account.

Local data may include:

  • Active subscriptions
  • Favorites
  • Timeline events
  • App settings
  • Theme and currency preferences
  • Widget layout
  • Notification preferences
  • Import/export backup data

If you use Fare as a guest or do not enable cloud sync, your subscription data remains stored locally on your device unless you export it, delete it, reset local data, or remove the app.

3. Apple Sign-In and Cloud Sync

Fare offers Sign in with Apple for account-based features.

Cloud Sync is a Fare+ feature. If you sign in with Apple and have an active Fare+ subscription, Fare may sync your Fare data to Fare's cloud database so your subscription data can be restored or synced across devices.

Cloud-synced data may include:

  • Subscription records
  • Favorite records
  • Timeline events
  • App settings
  • Widget layout
  • Account profile information from Apple Sign-In, such as your Apple user identifier and, if provided by Apple, your relay email address

Fare uses Supabase to provide authentication and cloud database services.

Cloud Sync is optional. You can continue using Fare locally without creating an account. Free users can use local storage, export, and import.

4. Account Deletion

If you create an account with Sign in with Apple, you can delete your Fare account from within the app.

Deleting your account is intended to delete your Fare account profile and cloud sync data associated with that account. Local data on your current device may also be cleared as part of the account deletion flow.

Deleting your Fare account does not cancel any active App Store subscription. Fare+ subscriptions must be managed or cancelled through Apple's App Store subscription settings.

5. Notifications

Fare can send local renewal reminders if you enable notifications.

Notification data may include:

  • Subscription name
  • Renewal date
  • Reminder timing
  • Reminder time of day

Notifications are scheduled locally on your device. Fare does not require notifications to function. You can disable notifications in the app or in iOS Settings.

Example notification content may include messages such as:

  • "Netflix renews tomorrow."
  • "Netflix will be charged on June 20."
  • "Netflix and 2 others renew tomorrow."

If multiple subscriptions renew on the same day, Fare may group them into a single reminder.

6. Purchases and Fare+

Fare uses RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases, subscription status, and Fare+ entitlement access.

RevenueCat may process information related to your purchase, including:

  • App Store purchase status
  • Product identifier
  • Subscription status
  • Entitlement status
  • Anonymous or app-specific purchase identifiers

Fare does not receive or store your full payment card details. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store.

Fare+ may unlock features such as:

  • Cloud Sync
  • Premium widgets
  • Advanced reminder options
  • Premium theme colors
  • Expanded subscription and favorites limits
  • Ad-free experience

Fare+ is offered as an auto-renewing subscription. You can manage or cancel your subscription through Apple's App Store subscription settings.

7. Advertising and Tracking

Fare may show ads to free users. Fare uses Google AdMob to serve ads.

AdMob may collect or process information used for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, ad measurement, and improving ad delivery. Depending on your choices and region, ads may be personalized or non-personalized.

Fare may use Google User Messaging Platform to request or manage advertising consent where required.

On iOS, Fare may ask for permission using Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before allowing tracking for personalized advertising. You can choose whether to allow tracking.

If you deny tracking, Fare may still show ads, but they may be less personalized.

Fare+ users receive an ad-free experience while their Fare+ subscription is active.

You can manage tracking permissions in iOS Settings. Where available, you may also manage ad privacy choices inside Fare.

8. Brand Logos and External Services

Fare may use Brandfetch to retrieve brand logos for subscription services. This helps display recognizable logos in the app.

Fare may send a service domain or brand-related request to Brandfetch to retrieve logo assets. Fare caches logo responses locally to improve performance and reduce repeated network requests.

If a logo is unavailable, Fare uses a fallback icon.

9. Import and Export

Fare allows you to export and import a local backup of your data.

Exported backup files may contain your subscription data, settings, timeline events, favorites, and widget layout. You are responsible for where you save, store, or share exported backup files.

Only import backup files from sources you trust.

10. Data Fare Does Not Collect

Fare does not:

  • Connect to your bank account
  • Scan your email
  • Read your purchase history
  • Automatically detect subscriptions from other apps
  • Sell your manually entered subscription list
  • Store your App Store payment card details
  • Require an account for local subscription tracking

11. How Fare Uses Information

Fare uses information to:

  • Track subscriptions you manually add
  • Show renewal dates and reminders
  • Display active subscriptions and favorites
  • Calculate monthly and yearly estimates
  • Build overview widgets and insights

12. Third-Party Services

These services may process data according to their own privacy policies.

13. Data Retention

Local data remains on your device until you delete it, reset app data, remove the app, or replace it through import.

Cloud Sync data may remain in Fare's cloud systems while your account or synced data exists. If you delete your Fare account in the app, Fare will attempt to delete account-related cloud data associated with your account.

Purchase and subscription records may be retained by Apple and RevenueCat as needed to validate purchases, manage subscriptions, prevent fraud, and restore access.

Advertising-related data may be processed by Google AdMob and related services according to your consent choices and applicable law.

  • Use Fare without creating an account
  • Choose what subscription data to enter
  • Edit or delete subscriptions
  • Add or remove favorites
  • Enable or disable notifications
  • Allow or deny tracking permission
  • Manage ad privacy choices where available
  • Purchase Fare+ to remove ads and unlock premium features
  • Restore purchases
  • Manage or cancel Fare+ through Apple's subscription settings
  • Export your data
  • Import your data

15. Children's Privacy

Fare is not intended for children under 13. Fare does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

16. Security

Fare uses reasonable technical measures to protect data. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

You should avoid entering highly sensitive information into optional fields such as payment notes.

17. International Users

Fare may be used by users in different countries. Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or request information about certain personal data.

Where required, Fare provides consent choices for advertising and tracking.

Fare may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are made, the effective date will be updated.
