Privacy policy
This policy covers the iPhone app Currency Converter & Scanner (with its widgets) and this website. Both are made by Aleksey Smolygin, an independent developer (“we”, “us”). The app has no accounts, shows no ads, and we do not sell your data.

Data stored on your iPhone
Your chosen currencies, recent amounts, custom exchange rates, the last downloaded rate and widget settings are stored on your device (and shared with the app’s widgets through an App Group). Deleting the app deletes them. Amounts shown on screen can appear in session recordings, described below.
The camera price scanner recognizes numbers on your device with Apple’s Vision framework. The scanner does not save photos or upload them for recognition. Session recordings may include screenshots of the scanner screen.
Analytics and session recordings
The app uses PostHog to collect usage events: app opens, screens viewed, which currency pair you convert between, when the camera is opened, onboarding steps and your answers to the two onboarding questions (how you heard about the app and what you use it for), and paywall views and purchases. Each event includes device and app information such as device model, iOS version, app version and language, and PostHog derives an approximate location (country or city) from your IP address. Events are linked to a random identifier created on your device, not to your name or Apple ID.
PostHog session recording captures screenshots of the app’s screens while you use it, so we can see where the interface is confusing or broken. Recordings can show anything displayed in the app during the session, including amounts you type. Recordings and events are kept for the retention period of our PostHog plan and then deleted automatically.
Purchases
Payments are handled by Apple; we never see your card details. RevenueCat receives your App Store receipt and a random app user ID to confirm which plan you bought and to restore it on a new device. If you installed the app from an Apple Search Ads ad, RevenueCat also receives Apple’s attribution token (campaign information, no personal identifiers) so we can see which ads work.
Feature requests
If you open the feature request screen, WishKit stores the requests and votes you submit, and any email address you choose to add.
Exchange rates
The app downloads exchange rates from our server, which gets them from ExchangeRate-API. The request contains no personal data, but like any web server ours sees your IP address. Rates are not tied to you.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, the app schedules reminders on your device, for example before a free trial ends. We do not use remote push notifications.
This website
Wanderfare sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising scripts. It is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, and Cloudflare processes standard request data (such as IP address) to deliver and protect the site.
Your choices and rights
- Delete the app to remove all data stored on your device.
- Email [email protected] to ask for a copy of your data or for its deletion. Because we do not know who you are, we may ask for details (for example, the approximate date of a purchase) to find your records.
- Turn notifications off at any time in iOS Settings.
We do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites, and we do not share data with data brokers or advertisers.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the app’s release notes.
