Privacy Policy
Overview
SmartPensionApp (displayed as Pillar on your device) is a Swiss pension and tax calculator for iOS, published by actuaryexplains.ch. This policy describes how the app handles information. The short answer: it doesn’t collect any.
Data We Do NOT Collect
We do not collect, store, transmit, or share:
- Your name, email address, or any contact information
- Location data
- Financial inputs you enter into any calculator (buy-in amounts, tax rates, income, etc.)
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
- Usage statistics or analytics
- Crash reports sent to third parties
How Your Inputs Are Stored
All values you enter (buy-in amounts, canton, retirement age, income, etc.) exist only in memory while the app is open. The premium unlock status is saved locally on your device only via iOS’s built-in storage (UserDefaults). This data never leaves your device and is deleted if you uninstall the app. We have no access to it.
Internet & Network Access
The calculators are fully offline. The app makes network requests only for one purpose: to process In-App Purchases through Apple’s StoreKit framework. No financial data or personal information is transmitted during this process โ only the standard Apple purchase flow is used.
In-App Purchases
SmartPensionApp offers a one-time non-consumable In-App Purchase (“Pillar Pro”) to unlock premium features. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive, store, or process any payment card details or billing information. For questions about billing, contact Apple Support.
Third-Party Services
The app does not integrate any third-party SDKs, analytics libraries, advertising networks, or social media frameworks. The PDF export feature uses only Apple’s built-in system frameworks. In-App Purchases use Apple’s StoreKit 2 framework exclusively.
Children’s Privacy
This app is a financial tool intended for adults managing Swiss pension decisions. It is rated 4+ on the App Store. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, regardless of age.
Changes to This Policy
If the app’s data practices change in a future version, this page will be updated and a new effective date will be noted.
