Closeout
Privacy Policy
Last updated 31 August 2026
Your shifts, tips, hours and jobs are stored on your phone and are never sent to us. We have no server to send them to, and no account for you to create.
What Closeout stores, and where
Everything you enter, including jobs, wages, shifts, tips, tip-outs, sales, notes and goals, is written to a database file inside the app on your device. It is covered by your iPhone's own encryption and by whatever backup you have configured with Apple. We cannot read it, and we never receive a copy.
Deleting the app deletes that data. So does Settings → Reset all data inside Closeout. If iCloud backup is on, your most recent backup remains in your own iCloud and Closeout can restore it; with backup off, there is no copy anywhere else and neither action is reversible.
iCloud backup
Your shift data is stored on your device. If iCloud backup is on, a copy is stored in your own Apple iCloud account, encrypted by Apple. DayForge Studios operates no server and never receives your shift data.
Subscriptions are processed by Apple and RevenueCat, who receive an anonymous purchase record containing no name, no email, and no shift data.
iCloud backup can be turned off any time in Settings → iCloud backup inside the app.
What we do not do
- No account, no sign-up, no email required to use the app.
- No advertising, and no advertising SDK of any kind.
- No cross-app or cross-site tracking. Closeout does not ask permission to track you, because it does not.
- No selling or sharing of personal information. We have nothing to sell.
- No location, contacts, photos or microphone access.
Purchases
Closeout offers an optional paid subscription. Payment is handled entirely by Apple. We never see your card number, billing address or Apple ID.
To check whether a subscription is active, we use RevenueCat, a service that validates App Store receipts on our behalf. RevenueCat receives the purchase receipt and an anonymous identifier generated for the install. It does not receive your name, your email, or any of your shift or tip data. Apart from your own iCloud backup and the crash reports described under Diagnostics, this is the only information Closeout sends off your device, and it exists to answer one question: is this subscription active?
Reminders
If you turn on the nightly reminder, your phone schedules it locally. No reminder passes through a server, and Closeout does not use push notifications.
Exports
When you export a CSV or a PDF tax summary, the file is created on your device and handed to the iOS share sheet. Where it goes next is your choice: email, Files, AirDrop, another app. Once you send it somewhere, that destination's privacy policy applies, not this one. We never receive exported files.
Diagnostics
If Closeout crashes, a crash report is sent to Sentry, a crash reporting service, so the fault can be identified and fixed. The report describes the crash: where in the code it occurred, the app version, the phone model and iOS version, and a random identifier created for the installation so that repeat crashes are grouped rather than counted separately.
Crash reports contain no name, no email address, and none of your shift or tip data. Sentry is configured to collect the minimum it supports, which excludes screenshots, activity trails, performance monitoring, and stored IP addresses.
If you have opted in to sharing analytics with developers in your iOS settings, Apple may also provide its own anonymized crash reports. These are governed by Apple's policies and likewise contain no shift or tip data.
How long it is kept
Your data stays on your device until you delete it. There is no retention schedule on our side because there is nothing on our side. RevenueCat keeps purchase records for as long as your subscription history is needed to validate it, under their own policy.
Security
Your data sits inside the app's own storage on your iPhone, protected by iOS and by your device passcode or Face ID. We hold no copy, which also means there is no database of ours that can be breached. If you back your phone up to iCloud or a computer, that backup follows Apple's protections and your own settings.
Children
Closeout is intended for people old enough to be legally employed and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Your data, your control
Because your information lives only on your phone and in your own iCloud, never with us, there is no account for us to delete and no export for us to send you. You hold every copy there is. Closeout's export feature gives you everything in a portable format whenever you want it.
Privacy rights where you live
Laws in some places, including California, Colorado, Virginia, the UK and the EU, give you the right to see, correct, export or delete the personal information a company holds about you, and to know whether it is sold or shared.
We hold none, so there is nothing for us to show, correct, export or delete, and nothing is ever sold or shared. You can exercise every one of those rights yourself from inside the app: your data is visible on screen, editable, exportable as CSV or PDF, and removable with Settings → Reset all data. If you want that confirmed in writing, email us and we will confirm it.
Apple's role
Downloads, payments and subscription management all happen through the App Store. Apple's own privacy policy governs what Apple collects when you buy or download anything, including this app, and we have no control over or access to that.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects what leaves your device, we will update the date at the top and describe the change here. August 2026: Closeout added iCloud backup, which keeps a copy of your data in your own iCloud account, described above, and yours to turn off in the app's settings. August 2026: Closeout added crash reporting via Sentry, described under Diagnostics. When the app crashes, a report containing no personal or shift data is sent so the fault can be fixed.
