Privacy policy
Last updated 25 July 2026
The short version. FinvestLens has no account to sign up for, no analytics, and no server of ours for your data to reach. Your book is a file on your device. We never see it, and neither does anyone else.
Who we are
FinvestLens is published by Hello Tham Pty Ltd(“we”, “us”). For anything in this policy, write tofinvestlens@hellotham.com.
What we collect
Nothing. We operate no servers for FinvestLens, run no analytics or crash reporting, use no advertising or tracking SDKs, and have no way to identify you. The app’s privacy manifest declares no collected data types and no tracking domains.
Where your financial data lives
Your book is a single file you choose the location of — local disk, iCloud Drive, or a network share. It is read and written by the app on your device and nowhere else. Attachments you link are likewise files on your storage.
If you keep your book in iCloud Drive, it syncs between your owndevices through your Apple Account, under Apple’s terms and encryption. That is a transfer between you and Apple; it does not involve us.
Apple Intelligence and document reading
Smart Import, categorisation suggestions, budget proposals and report commentary are produced by Apple’s on-device foundation models. The statements, invoices and dividend notices you point the app at are processedon your device. Their contents are not sent to us or to any third party by FinvestLens.
Network requests the app can make
FinvestLens makes network requests in exactly one situation: when you ask it to fetch security prices or exchange rates. Those requests go to the quote provider you choose:
- Yahoo Finance and Stooq — no account or key required
- EODHD (
eodhd.com) - Alpha Vantage (
alphavantage.co) - Finnhub (
finnhub.io) - Twelve Data (
twelvedata.com)
Such a request contains the ticker symbols and date ranges being priced. It does not contain your balances, transactions, account names or any personal detail. Each provider is an independent company with its own privacy policy, which governs what it does with the request.
If you never fetch prices, the app makes no network requests at all. It works entirely offline.
API keys and credentials
Keys for the keyed price providers are stored in the macOS Keychain on the device you enter them on. They are never written into your book file and are never transmitted anywhere except to the provider they belong to.
Local authentication
Where the app asks for Touch ID or your password — to open a protected book, or to reach Emergency Records — that check is performed by macOS. FinvestLens receives only a yes or no. It never sees your password or biometric data.
Children
FinvestLens is a general-purpose accounting application, not directed at children, and collects no data from anyone.
Your rights
Rights of access, correction, deletion and portability apply to data a publisher holds about you. We hold none. Your own data is in your own file: you can read it, change it, export it to GnuCash XML or a Ledger journal, or delete the file, all without asking us.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the revised version will be published on this page with a new date. Material changes will also be noted in the release notes.
