Privacy Policy
Effective date: 9 July 2026 · Data controller: Óscar Gallego Ruiz (individual developer), Spain — [email protected]
Rydger is a local-first app: it works fully offline and does not require an account. This policy explains what data exists, where it lives, and who — if anyone — sees it.
What data Rydger stores, and where
Everything you enter into Rydger — vehicles, maintenance records, rides, costs, receipts — is stored on your device and, if you have iCloud enabled, mirrored to your own private iCloud database (Apple's CloudKit, container iCloud.com.rydger.Rydger). Rydger's developer has no access to this data: it is encrypted and stored under your Apple ID, the same way Photos or Notes data is. There is no Rydger server that stores your vehicles, rides, or costs.
No accounts
Rydger has no sign-up, no login, and no user accounts. Nothing you enter is tied to an email address or identity we control.
Optional cloud photo processing (Rydger Pro)
Rydger can read an odometer, a receipt, or a service-schedule table from a photo. This happens on-device first (Apple's Vision framework). If Rydger Pro is active and the on-device read is inconclusive, the photo may be sent — once, for that single read — to Rydger's server-side proxy, which forwards it to a vision-capable AI model via the Vercel AI Gateway.
- The photo is used only to extract the requested value (a number, a date, a few fields) and is not stored or logged after the response is returned.
- The request is authenticated by a signed purchase receipt from Apple (proving you hold an active Rydger Pro entitlement), not by any personal identifier.
- A usage counter (calls per month, to prevent abuse) is keyed to an opaque purchase identifier from Apple — not your name, email, or Apple ID.
- Free-tier use never reaches this cloud step; on-device processing is unlimited and never leaves your phone.
Purchases
Subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are handled entirely by Apple through StoreKit. Rydger never sees your payment details — Apple processes billing and shares only the entitlement status (active / expired) needed to unlock features.
No ads, no analytics, no data selling
Rydger contains no advertising SDKs, no third-party analytics or tracking libraries, and no crash-reporting service that phones data home. Nothing is sold or shared with data brokers, because nothing about you is collected to sell.
Children's privacy
Rydger is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your country).
Your data, your control
Because there's no account, there's nothing to “delete” on our end. To remove your data:
- Delete the Rydger app from your device to remove the local copy.
- Turn off iCloud for Rydger (Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Rydger) and/or delete the app's iCloud data via Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage, to remove the private-database copy.
- Export your full history at any time as CSV from within the app (Free tier includes this) before deleting anything.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this same URL with a new effective date.
