Information We Do Not Collect
We are built on a no-data-collection principle. We do not collect, store, or transmit:
Your name, email address, or any account credentials
Your bank account, credit card, or payment information
Your precise location
Device identifiers beyond what Apple or Google provide for basic app analytics
Your purchase history or spending habits outside of the current audit session
Information You Provide During an Audit
When you run a purchase audit, you voluntarily enter:
The name and price of the item you are considering
Your approximate monthly income and expenses
Your savings goal and priority level
This information is processed in-session to generate your AI verdict. It is sent to our AI provider (OpenAI) via an encrypted connection solely to produce your result. It is not stored on our servers after your session ends and is not used to train AI models.
Audit history you choose to save is stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage. It never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it.
AI Processing
Should I Buy This? uses OpenAI's API to generate spending verdicts. When you submit an audit, the relevant inputs (item, price, income, expenses, goals) are sent to OpenAI over an encrypted HTTPS connection to generate your verdict. OpenAI's data handling is governed by their privacy policy. We use the API under OpenAI's terms, which do not permit training on API inputs.
Subscriptions and Payments
Should I Buy This? offers an optional subscription at $3.99/month with a 14-day free trial, managed through RevenueCat and processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store).
We do not handle or store your payment card details — Apple and Google process all transactions
RevenueCat receives an anonymous subscription status token to verify your entitlement
No personally identifiable payment information passes through our systems
RevenueCat's privacy policy is available at revenuecat.com/privacy.
Analytics and Crash Reporting
We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data (such as how many audits are completed per day) to improve the app. This data contains no personally identifiable information and cannot be traced back to any individual user.
If the app crashes, crash logs may be collected automatically by Apple or Google's platforms. These logs contain technical information about the device state and are governed by Apple's and Google's respective privacy policies.
Children's Privacy
Should I Buy This? is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us at Beatrice@shouldibuythis.ai and we will delete it promptly.
Data Security
All data transmitted between the app and our servers uses industry-standard TLS encryption. Since we do not store your financial inputs after a session, there is no persistent financial database that could be breached.
Your Rights
Because we do not collect personally identifiable information, there is no personal data profile to access, correct, or delete. Your audit history lives on your device and can be cleared at any time from within the app. If you have a privacy concern or request, email us at
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change. Continued use of the app after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We will notify users of material changes via an in-app notice.
