Privacy policy
No account, no profile, no data resale. This page states what the app processes, why, and what you can require of it.
1Data used
Foyo creates no account and sends the developer no data: the developer has no server and sees neither your subscriptions, nor your direct debits, nor your household. Your subscriptions (name, price, period, next due date, categories and payment accounts, which are plain labels you choose) are stored on the device. With Foyo Plus, or in a household, they are also stored in your iCloud (CloudKit, private database and CloudKit sharing), managed by Apple according to your iCloud settings. A household is shared with an iCloud invitation link: its members see the subscriptions shared with the household, while your personal space stays private, and only the author of a subscription edits it; a change request goes through the household. Foyo asks for no access to your bank, no account or card number, and neither location, photos, camera nor microphone. Reminders before a charge and before a free trial ends are local notifications, scheduled on the device. The widget only reads a summary left by the app on the device. The badges in the colors of the services are drawn inside the app: no official logo is downloaded.
2Advertising and purchases
Foyo is free: it is funded by Google AdMob advertising (a discreet banner and an optional rewarded video that gives 6 hours ad-free) and holds up to 5 subscriptions, with data on the device. The optional Foyo Plus subscription (monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial and Apple Family Sharing) removes every ad while it is active, and adds unlimited subscriptions, iCloud sync, creating the household, currencies and CSV export; it is handled by StoreKit and your Apple account, renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and is managed in your Apple Account settings. Joining a household is free. The app never receives payment card data. On first launch in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, a Google form (UMP) asks for your consent, which you can change in the app Settings; Apple’s tracking permission (App Tracking Transparency) is requested next and can be declined, in the iOS prompt or later in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. Without it, the device’s advertising identifier (IDFA) is not shared; with it, the IDFA is used for advertising tracking, and it is the only data Foyo declares to Apple as used for tracking.
The Google Mobile Ads and User Messaging Platform kits send directly to Google, without going through the developer: the device advertising identifier (only if you allow tracking), the IP address and an approximate location derived from it, the device model and system, performance and diagnostic data, and your interactions with ads. Google uses them to show, measure and cap ads, personalize them if you consent and fight fraud, under its own privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy).
3Children
Foyo is not aimed specifically at children, asks them for no personal information and offers no messaging, no exchange between users and no sharing to social networks. In France, a minor under 15 cannot consent alone to personalized advertising: a parent can decline tracking in the iOS prompt or in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking, and block tracking requests with Screen Time.
4Changes to this policy
This policy follows the app: it is revised whenever a processing changes, and the date at the top of the page shows its latest update. A significant change is also noted in the App Store release notes.
5Data sources
No external data source: Foyo talks to no server of the developer. Only the Google Mobile Ads and Google User Messaging Platform kits, for advertising and consent, iCloud (CloudKit), for sync and the household and the App Store, for the subscription, use the Internet. Amounts in other currencies are shown as entered, with no conversion and no rate download. The developer adds no analytics tool.
6Retention
Data stays on the device as long as the app is installed. With Foyo Plus or in a household, it also stays in your iCloud, which you manage in iPhone Settings › your name › iCloud. Advertising data follows Google’s retention rules.
7Your rights
Under the GDPR, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection regarding your personal data. You may also contact your data protection authority.
8Contact
Foyo is published by BodyCorp, an independent developer and the data controller, who personally answers any question about your data.
