Privacy Policy

App: Alkong · Last updated: 2026-06-26

Alkong ("the app") is a shared budget app, developed and operated by Andreality ("we"). The ledger data you enter is stored and synced solely through Apple's iCloud, without any server of ours. The app is free and, to support its operation, displays ads through Google AdMob. This policy explains how the app handles information.

1. Information we collect

We do not collect, transmit, or store the ledger entries you enter (amount, date, category, memo, payment method, etc.) on our servers. Those entries are stored only on your device and in your own iCloud account. However, third parties such as Google may collect certain information during ad serving, as described in Section 4 below.

2. iCloud sync and sharing

The app uses Apple's iCloud (CloudKit) to sync your data across your devices and to let you share the same ledger with someone you invite. This data is stored in your (and your share partner's) private iCloud database, and we cannot access it. Apple's Privacy Policy governs the handling of data stored in iCloud (apple.com/legal/privacy).

3. Accounts

The app does not require its own account or sign-in. Syncing and sharing happen through the Apple account (iCloud) signed in on your device.

4. Advertising and tracking

The app is free and displays ads through Google AdMob. During ad serving, Google and its partners may collect and use information such as the advertising identifier (IDFA), device information, coarse location, and app usage and performance data for the purposes of serving ads, personalizing ads, and ad measurement and analytics.

• Tracking for personalized ads requires your consent. The app confirms your choice through iOS App Tracking Transparency permission and Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent form. If you do not consent to tracking, you will be shown non-personalized ads instead.
• You can change your tracking choice at any time under Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
• For details on Google's data practices, see Google's Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy) and how Google uses data for advertising (policies.google.com/technologies/ads).

Apart from the advertising described above, we use no analytics or tracking SDKs of our own, and we do not sell your ledger entries to third parties.

5. Data retention and deletion

You can delete entries directly within the app. Deleting the app removes the local data stored on your device. Data stored or shared via iCloud can be managed under Settings > [your name] > iCloud, or cleaned up by stopping sharing within the app.

6. Children's privacy

The app is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will post the updated content and revision date on this page.
