TrialBell Privacy Policy

TrialBell is a lightweight iPhone app that helps users track free trials, subscription renewals, cancel-by dates, and recurring charges.

Your privacy matters. TrialBell is designed to be private by default.

Information We Collect

TrialBell does not require an account.

TrialBell does not ask for your bank login.

TrialBell does not collect your financial account information.

TrialBell does not sell your data.

The app may store information you manually enter, such as:

• subscription name
• renewal date
• trial end date
• cancel-by date
• price
• billing cycle
• payment method label
• notes
• cancellation link

This information is used only to help you track reminders inside the app. It stays on your device (and, if iCloud Backup is on, in your own iCloud account) — it is never sent to us. See Analytics and Tracking below for the one thing TrialBell does send: anonymous usage events that contain none of the above.

Local Storage

TrialBell stores your subscription data locally on your device by default.

iCloud Backup

iCloud Backup is on by default and available to every user at no cost. While it is on, TrialBell stores your app data in your personal iCloud account using Apple’s iCloud services. You can turn it off at any time in Settings, after which your data is kept on your device only.

TrialBell does not operate its own server for your subscription data.

Notifications

TrialBell uses local notifications to remind you before trials, renewals, or cancel-by dates.

Notifications are scheduled on your device.

You can turn notifications off anytime in iPhone Settings.

Purchases

TrialBell may offer optional Pro features through Apple In-App Purchases.

Payments are processed by Apple.

TrialBell does not receive or store your credit card information.

Analytics and Tracking

TrialBell collects anonymous product-usage events so we can see which parts of the app work and which don’t — for example, how many people finish setting up, whether reminders get opened, and how often the upgrade screen is shown. This is handled by TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service.

Your subscription data is never part of it. Analytics events never include service or subscription names, prices, currencies, renewal or trial dates, notes, cancellation links, payment methods, your email, or your Apple ID.

Each event carries the event name plus a small, fixed set of generic labels — for example whether the item was a trial, a subscription or a bill; which screen the action came from; whether the plan is free or Pro; and a coarse range for how many subscriptions are being tracked (0, 1–3, 4–10, 11+). Never an exact figure, and never anything that identifies you.

Alongside those labels, the TelemetryDeck SDK attaches standard technical context to every event: your app version and build, iOS version, device model, screen size, language, locale, region, time zone, system appearance and accessibility settings, and counters such as how many distinct days the app has been used. It also derives an anonymous identifier for your installation so that repeat use can be counted as one person rather than many. That identifier is not your Apple ID, not your device’s advertising identifier, and is not shared with anyone or used to recognise you in any other app.

TrialBell does not use advertising SDKs, does not use the advertising identifier, and does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites. Nothing is shared with data brokers, and TrialBell does not sell personal data.

If this changes, this policy will be updated clearly.

Children’s Privacy

TrialBell is not intended for children under 13.

Changes to This Policy
