Shipshape privacy policy
The short version
Shipshape doesn't collect your data. There's no account to make and no bank login. We don't run a server for the app, so there's nowhere for your numbers to go. No ads, no analytics, no tracking, and no third-party code in the app.
Who we are
Shipshape is made by Shellback Labs. "We" on this page means Shellback Labs.
What you enter stays on your device
Your income, bills, debts, savings goals and the names you give them are stored on your iPhone, inside the app's own storage, protected by iOS. We never receive them. The app works out every figure on your device.
Files you choose to make
Shipshape can export a backup of your household, a spreadsheet of a month's bills and a one-page payoff plan. It makes these only when you ask, and they go only where you send them, through the iOS share sheet. They're your files: we never see them. The backup file isn't encrypted, so keep it somewhere private.
Reminders and the widget
Bill reminders are local notifications: your iPhone schedules and shows them itself. Nothing about them is sent to us. The Home Screen widget reads a small summary the app keeps on your device.
What Apple may share with us
If you've turned on sharing with app developers in your iPhone's settings, Apple may send us crash reports and usage statistics that don't identify you. If you test Shipshape through TestFlight, any feedback or screenshots you choose to send reach us through Apple. We use these only to fix problems.
Sharing with another person, later
A future version may let two people share one household. If it does, the household will be stored in your own iCloud account through Apple's CloudKit, with names and amounts encrypted so Apple can't read them, and we still won't receive it. We'll update this page before that version ships.
Deleting your data
Delete the app, and everything it stored on your iPhone goes with it. To clear it without deleting the app, open Settings in Shipshape and choose "Start fresh with an empty household." Files you exported are yours to delete wherever you saved them.
Children
Shipshape collects nothing from anyone, children included.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
