Rivulet Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Taste Games (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in Rivulet (the “App”), a monthly budget for iPhone and iPad that draws your money as a flow: what comes in, what goes out, and what is left to spend. If you have questions, contact us at tastegames13@gmail.com.

The short version

Rivulet works entirely on your device. Your income, your bills, your budgets, your expenses and your savings goals never leave it. The App does not connect to your bank, has no accounts, no advertising, no third-party analytics, and no tracking, and we do not operate any server that receives data from the App. We do not collect, sell, or share your personal information.

Your budget

Everything you type into the App is kept in a database on your device: the amounts that come in, your bills and when they are due, the limits you set, each expense with its category, date and optional note, your savings goals, and your settings such as currency and the day your month starts. None of this is uploaded, sent to us, or shared with anyone. It is removed when you delete the App.

The App never asks for bank credentials or card numbers and does not read your transactions from anywhere: the only figures in it are the ones you enter.

Backups and exports

You can write a backup file from the App’s settings and read one back in, and with Rivulet Plus you can export your expenses as a CSV file. A file is created only when you ask for it and goes only where you choose to send or save it. Reading a backup opens only the file you pick.

App lock and Face ID

If you turn on the app lock, the App asks your device to confirm that it is you, with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. The check is done by the device. The App only learns whether it succeeded; it never receives, stores or sends your face or fingerprint data or your passcode.

Reminders

If you turn on bill reminders, they are scheduled by the App on your device; no server is involved. You can choose whether a reminder shows the amount, and you can turn reminders off at any time in the App or in the Settings app.

Information we collect

We do not collect personal information through the App. Rivulet does not ask for your name, email address, or any other contact details, and it does not use advertising identifiers. Apart from talking to the App Store about purchases, as described below, the App makes no network connections of its own.

Purchases

Rivulet Plus is offered as an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly) or as a one-time purchase, all processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment card details, billing address, or Apple Account information. The App checks on your device, through Apple’s systems, whether Rivulet Plus is active. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store account settings. Apple’s handling of your information is described in the Apple Privacy Policy.

Information Apple may share with us

If you have chosen on your device to share analytics with app developers, Apple may provide us with aggregated statistics and crash reports about the App. This information does not identify you. Apple also gives us aggregated sales reports.

When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use this only to reply to you and to resolve your request, we keep it only for as long as that takes or as the law requires, and we do not sell or share it.

Children’s privacy

Rivulet is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children or from anyone else through the App. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email, please contact us so that we can delete it.

Data retention and security

Because the App keeps its data on your device, that data is protected by the security of your device and stays there until you delete the App. We hold no copy of it.

International data processing

The App does not send your data anywhere, so it is not transferred to other countries by us. Email you send us is handled by our email provider and may be processed in countries other than the one where you live.

Your privacy rights

Subject to applicable law, including the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, and privacy laws of states in the United States such as California, you may have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and portability, and the right not to be discriminated against for using them. Since the App does not collect personal information, we generally hold nothing about you. You remain in control of the data on your device: you can write a backup, export your expenses, turn the app lock or the reminders off, or delete the App at any time.

We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for targeted advertising. For correspondence you have sent us, you can ask us for a copy or to delete it by emailing tastegames13@gmail.com. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the App or our practices. Any updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
