Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026  ·  Applies to MeAndBuddies iOS app

1. Who We Are

MeAndBuddies is an iOS application developed and published under LoanStarAI. Questions about this policy can be directed to support@lonestarai.app.

2. Information We Collect

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 — including trip names, destinations, expense amounts, participant names, and uploaded documents — is stored exclusively on your iPhone using a local SQLite database within the app's private sandbox.

3. Data Storage

Your data is stored locally and privately on your device. This means:

• No data is uploaded to any server operated by us or third parties.
• No data is shared with advertisers, analytics providers, or data brokers.
• Deleting the app permanently removes all data from your device.
• Standard iCloud device backups may include app data as part of your device's own backup — this is controlled by your iPhone settings, not by us.

4. Currency Exchange Rates

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 — 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.

5. Location Data

The app may request access to your device's approximate location — with your permission — 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.

6. Analytics and Tracking

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.

7. Third-Party Services

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.

8. Children's Privacy

MeAndBuddies does not collect data from any user, including children under the age of 13. The app is rated 4+ on the App Store.

9. Your Rights

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.

10. Changes to This Policy

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.
