Last updated: March 2026 ยท Applies to MeAndBuddies iOS app
๐ The short version: MeAndBuddies collects no personal data, contacts no server with your information, and does not track you in any way. Everything you enter stays on your device.
MeAndBuddies is an iOS application developed and published under LoanStarAI. Questions about this policy can be directed to support@lonestarai.app.
We collect nothing. The app does not require an account, does not ask for your email address, and does not transmit any data you enter to any server.
All information you input into the app โ including trip names, destinations, expense amounts, participant names, and uploaded documents โ is stored exclusively on your iPhone using a local SQLite database within the app's private sandbox.
Your data is stored locally and privately on your device. This means:
When you use the currency conversion feature and your device has an active internet connection, the app sends a standard HTTP request to exchangerate-api.com to retrieve current exchange rates. This request contains no personal data โ it is a public API call that returns a list of rates. We have no control over exchangerate-api.com's own privacy practices; you can review their policy at exchangerate-api.com/privacy.
The app may request access to your device's approximate location โ with your permission โ to improve the accuracy of place and restaurant searches. Your location is used only to bias on-device search results and is never stored, logged, or transmitted anywhere.
MeAndBuddies contains no analytics SDKs, advertising frameworks, crash reporters, or tracking pixels of any kind. We have no visibility into how you use the app.
The only third-party service the app contacts is exchangerate-api.com, as described in Section 4. No other external services, SDKs, or APIs are used.
MeAndBuddies does not collect data from any user, including children under the age of 13. The app is rated 4+ on the App Store.
Because we collect no personal data, there is nothing for us to access, correct, export, or delete on your behalf. All your data resides on your own device and is entirely under your control.
If we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Because we collect no personal data, changes will not affect the data of any user.
