Syl Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 14, 2026
Syl keeps your financial data on your devices and, if you choose, in your private
iCloud storage. Your expenses are never sent to the developer. Syl does not
sell your data, show advertisements, or use your financial data for advertising
or profiling. Your expense data
Expenses, budgets, tags, recurring rules, and settings are stored on
your device. Syl can also send spending summaries to your paired Apple Watch
for display in the Watch app and its widgets, independently of iCloud Sync.
Receipt scanning uses Apple's on-device text recognition and Apple Intelligence
features. Receipt images and recognized text are not uploaded to the developer
or an external receipt-processing service. Information you save from a receipt
is treated like any other expense. iCloud Sync
iCloud Sync is optional and off by default on each device. When enabled, Syl
syncs your financial records through your private iCloud database and supported
settings through Apple's iCloud preference storage. Apple operates iCloud under
its own terms and privacy policy.
You can turn sync off in Settings → Backup → Enable iCloud Sync. Settings
sync stops immediately; fully close and reopen Syl to apply the change to expense
sync. Previously queued activity may still finish. Turning sync off does not
delete existing local or iCloud data. Retention and deletion
Your saved data remains until you delete it. In Syl's Settings: - Delete Expense Data removes expenses, with an option to also remove recurring expense rules.
- Delete All Data removes expenses, recurring rules, tags, and preferences.
Data in iCloud is deleted when you delete an expense with sync still enabled. If sync is off,
cloud copies will remain in iCloud until removed through a device with sync enabled, or
if data is deleted manually in your Apple Account settings. Other devices, such as your
Apple Watch, may retain older data until they receive an update. Removing the iPhone app
does not delete iCloud data or copies on other devices. Imports and exports
Syl can import files you select and export JSON backups or CSV files to a
location you choose. Exported files contain readable expense data and are not
encrypted by Syl. Files saved or shared outside Syl, including original import
files, must be deleted separately. Deleting data in Syl cannot recall those copies. Permissions
Syl requests camera access for receipt scanning and notification permission for
optional reminders. You can change these permissions in iOS Settings and turn
reminders off in Syl's notification settings. Feedback and support
If you email the developer, your email address, message, and any attachments are
used to respond and help resolve your request. Syl's feedback email includes
your app version, iOS version, and device model. You can edit or cancel the
message before sending it; your expense database is not automatically attached.
You can request deletion of support correspondence by emailing hi@enzottic.me. This website
