Welcome to Fare. Fare is a privacy-first subscription manager designed to help people manually track subscriptions, renewals, trial dates, payment notes, and recurring costs without connecting bank accounts, scanning email, reading transactions, or requiring access to sensitive financial accounts.
This Privacy Policy explains how Fare collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you use our website, mobile application, and related services, collectively referred to as the Service.
By using Fare, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Fare is a subscription management app built to give users clarity and control over recurring services they choose to track manually.
Fare is not a bank, financial institution, credit monitoring service, bill negotiation service, or automated financial data aggregator. Fare does not connect to your bank account, credit card account, email inbox, payment processor account, or financial institution.
For privacy questions, you can contact us at support@usefare.app.
Fare is built around a simple principle: you should be able to understand and manage your subscriptions without giving an app access to your private financial life.
Fare is intentionally designed to avoid invasive data collection. In the current local-first version of the app, the subscription information you enter is stored on your device unless you choose to export it, import it, share it, or use future cloud features that clearly require online storage.
Fare does not:
Depending on how you use Fare, you may provide certain information directly.
When you manually add a subscription, you may enter information such as subscription or service name, plan name, price, billing cycle, renewal date, trial end date, payment note, cancellation-related notes, and status, such as active, trial, paused, or canceled.
This information is entered by you. Fare does not independently verify whether the information is accurate. In the current local-first version, this subscription information is stored locally on your device.
Fare may store app preferences such as appearance mode, selected currency display, theme preference, notification preference, haptics preference, widget layout, whether you completed onboarding, and app-use timestamps such as first-opened date.
If you choose to export your Fare data, Fare may create a JSON backup file containing your saved subscriptions and app preferences. You control where that file is shared or stored. Anyone with access to your exported backup may be able to view the information inside it.
If you contact us by email, through a support form, or by another communication channel, we may collect your name, email address, message content, screenshots or files you choose to send, and support history.
Fare is designed to minimize automatic collection. However, depending on the website, app configuration, hosting provider, analytics tools, crash reporting tools, app store systems, or future services we use, some information may be collected automatically.
This may include device type, operating system, app version, browser type, approximate location derived from IP address, pages viewed on the website, referring website, dates and times of visits, diagnostic information, crash reports, and performance logs.
We use this type of information to operate, secure, debug, and improve the Service.
If Fare uses analytics or diagnostics tools, we aim to configure them in a privacy-conscious way and avoid sending the contents of your manually entered subscription list unless a feature clearly requires it and you consent or choose to use that feature.
Fare's website may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies.
These technologies may be used to keep the website functional, remember preferences, understand website traffic, measure marketing performance, prevent abuse or fraud, and improve website reliability.
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website functionality.
If we use third-party analytics or advertising tools on the website, those providers may set their own cookies or collect information according to their own privacy policies.
Fare may receive limited information from third parties when you interact with external services.
If you download Fare from an app store, the app store may provide us with aggregated or limited information such as install statistics, crash information, subscription status, purchase status, or country-level analytics.
Fare may include Sign in with Apple or similar account functionality in the future. If you choose to use account features, we may receive information such as account identifier, email address if provided, authentication token, and account status.
If Fare offers paid features such as Fare+, lifetime ad-free access, or premium subscriptions, payments may be processed by Apple, Google, Stripe, RevenueCat, or another payment provider. Fare does not receive your full payment card number from those providers.
Fare may use external resources such as Brandfetch or similar providers to display subscription service logos based on a service domain. These requests may involve normal network information such as IP address and user-agent being processed by the logo provider. Fare should not send your private payment notes or user-entered subscription details to a logo provider.
We may use information to provide and operate Fare, save and display your subscriptions, calculate subscription summaries, show renewal dates and trial dates, generate local charts, widgets, and calendar views, remember app settings, provide backup and restore features, respond to support requests, troubleshoot bugs, maintain security, prevent misuse, improve the app and website, develop new features, provide paid features if enabled, and comply with legal obligations.
We do not use your manually entered subscription list to make credit, lending, employment, insurance, or financial eligibility decisions.
Fare's current product direction is local-first.
This means that subscription records you manually enter are intended to stay on your device unless you export a backup, import or share a backup, contact support and send us information, use future cloud sync or account features, use a future feature that clearly requires online processing, or the operating system, app store, backup service, or device-level sync separately stores your app data according to your device settings.
Local-first storage gives you control, but it also means you are responsible for backing up your own data unless cloud backup or sync features are added later.
If you delete the app, reset local data, lose your device, or clear app storage, your Fare data may be lost unless you exported or backed it up.
Fare does not sell your manually entered subscription list.
We may share information with service providers for hosting, analytics, diagnostics, email, customer support, payment processing, app distribution, backups, or infrastructure.
We may disclose information if required to do so by law, subpoena, court order, legal process, or government request.
We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of users, investigate fraud or abuse, enforce our terms, protect Fare's systems, or prevent harm.
If Fare is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy or another notice provided to you.
We may share information when you choose to do so, such as exporting a backup, sending information to support, or using a future sync or integration feature.
Fare does not sell your manually entered subscription data.
Fare also does not knowingly share your manually entered subscription list for cross-context behavioral advertising.
If Fare later uses advertising or marketing technologies that constitute sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable privacy laws, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any required choices.
For local app data, retention is primarily controlled by you and your device.
Your subscription records may remain on your device until you edit them, delete them, reset local app data, uninstall the app, clear device storage, or restore from a backup that replaces them.
Support communications may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you, maintain records, improve support, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.
Website logs, analytics, and diagnostic records may be retained for a limited period depending on the tools and providers used.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no app, website, network, device, or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
You can help protect your data by securing your device, using a strong device passcode, keeping your operating system updated, storing exported backup files carefully, avoiding sharing screenshots or backups that contain sensitive information, and deleting data you no longer need.
Fare does not ask for your bank password, card login, email login, or financial account credentials. Do not send those credentials to us.
Depending on your location and how you use Fare, you may have choices such as editing subscription records in the app, deleting subscriptions, resetting local app data, exporting a backup, importing a backup, changing currency display, changing appearance settings, turning haptics on or off, turning notifications on or off, and contacting us to request access, correction, or deletion of information we may hold about you outside the local app.
If your data is stored only locally on your device, we may not be able to access, retrieve, correct, or delete it for you.
Fare may include notification settings or future reminder features.
If notifications are enabled, Fare may use local notifications to remind you about renewals, trials, or other app-related events.
You can control notifications through Fare's in-app settings and your device operating system settings.
Fare should not send marketing push notifications unless you have consented where required.
Fare is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
If Fare later offers features directed to children or knowingly collects personal information from children under 13, we will update our practices and privacy notices as required.

Fare may be operated from the United States or other locations where we or our service providers operate.
If you access Fare from outside the United States, your information may be processed in a country that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.
Where applicable, you may have rights under local privacy laws. To make a privacy request, contact us at support@usefare.app.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar data protection laws, you may have additional rights regarding your personal data.
For purposes of applicable data protection laws, Fare is the controller of personal data that we process through the website, support communications, account features, analytics, diagnostics, purchases, and other online services we operate.
Some information you enter into the Fare app may be stored only on your device. If information is stored only locally on your device and is not transmitted to Fare, we may not be able to access, correct, export, or delete that information for you. You can manage that local information directly in the app by editing subscriptions, deleting subscriptions, resetting local data, or exporting/importing backup files.
Where GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar laws apply, we process personal data only when we have a legal basis to do so.
Depending on how you use Fare, our legal bases may include:
Subject to applicable law and certain limitations, you may have the right to:
You can exercise these rights by contacting us at support@usefare.app.
We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
Fare is designed to be local-first. Many subscription records and app preferences may be stored only on your device.
If data is stored only on your device, Fare may not have a copy of it and may not be able to fulfill access, deletion, correction, or portability requests for that local data from our systems.
You can control local app data directly by:
If you export a backup file, you are responsible for protecting that file.
Fare may be operated from the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate.
If personal data is transferred from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to a country that has not been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection, we will rely on appropriate safeguards where required by law, such as standard contractual clauses, service provider commitments, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Retention periods may depend on:
Local app data remains on your device until you delete it, reset local data, uninstall the app, or replace it through an imported backup.
If you are located in the EEA or UK and believe we have not handled your personal data properly, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
We encourage you to contact us first at support@usefare.app so we can try to resolve your concern directly.
Fare may link to third-party websites or services, such as subscription provider websites, support pages, cancellation pages, app stores, payment providers, or logo providers.
We do not control the privacy practices of third parties. Their privacy policies govern how they collect, use, and share information.
You should review third-party privacy policies before providing information to them.
Fare may provide cancellation guidance for supported subscriptions.
Cancellation guidance may include direct cancellation links where available, account management links, support links, general steps, and best-effort guidance.
Fare tries to label cancellation guidance honestly. A homepage or account page is not necessarily a direct cancellation link.
Cancellation processes can change. You should verify cancellation details with the service provider before relying on them.
Fare helps you organize information you enter manually. Fare is not a financial advisor, bank, accountant, credit counselor, subscription cancellation agent, or legal advisor.
Fare does not guarantee that your subscription data is complete, that pricing is current, that renewal dates are accurate unless entered correctly by you, that a service will accept a cancellation request, that all charges will be predicted, or that all subscription providers are supported.
You remain responsible for reviewing your actual accounts, statements, and provider communications.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
If we make material changes, we may notify you by updating the date above, posting a notice on the website, showing an in-app notice, or using another legally appropriate method.
Your continued use of Fare after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means you accept the updated policy.
If you have questions, requests, or concerns about this Privacy Policy or Fare's privacy practices, contact us at support@usefare.app.
