Wealth LevelLegal
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 27 September 2026 · Applies to the Wealth Level app (iPhone, iPad, Mac) and this website. This is a translation; the German version is authoritative.
Your data stays on your device
Wealth Level stores all wealth and ritual data locally on your device (SwiftData). We run no server, there is no user account and no bank connection — we never see your numbers.
Encryption on the device
On iPhone and iPad, the operating system encrypts the app's database and keeps it unreadable while the device is locked. The exception is the small summary for the widget, which has to draw even while the device is locked: it contains amounts only as long as you show them in the widget — with “Hide the amount in the widget” or the app lock turned on, it contains none. On the Mac, the data lives in the app's sandboxed container; it is encrypted there by FileVault, macOS's disk encryption — if FileVault is turned off, the data is stored unencrypted on the disk.
No tracking
We do not collect personal data, use no analytics or advertising SDKs and do not track your behaviour. The app contains no ads and no purchase offers.
The app uses Apple's MetricKit: once a day, the operating system provides it with anonymous metrics about the app itself — launch time, hangs, memory use, crashes. These reports contain none of your numbers, stay on the device and are not sent anywhere by us.
iCloud sync — only if you turn it on
You can enable sync via iCloud in the settings. Your wealth data is then additionally stored in your private iCloud database at Apple and synchronised between your Apple devices. We have no access to it; Apple's privacy policy applies. Without this switch, nothing leaves the device.
If you turn it off again, whatever is already in your iCloud stays there — you remove it under “Settings → your name → iCloud”.
Sharing by you
Your data also leaves the device when you pass it on yourself:
- as a CSV export,
- as an encrypted backup file,
- through a backup of your device that the operating system creates in iCloud or on a computer (Finder, iTunes).
A backup on a computer is only encrypted if you have turned on “Encrypt local backup” there. Where these files go is up to you.
Notifications
Reminders are scheduled locally on the device — there is no push server. They never contain an amount and never a title you have chosen yourself.
Your notes on a month
The optional sentence you can write about a month when sealing it is the most personal thing you enter here. It stays in the app: it never appears in a notification, never in the widget and not in the CSV export. Notes are included in the encrypted backup file and — if you have turned it on — in iCloud sync, like all other data.
The wealth calculator on this website
The “How rich am I?” calculator runs entirely in your browser. The comparison data is part of the page; the amount you enter is not sent, not stored and not analysed. There is no endpoint that could receive it. The same applies to the small calculators on the topic pages: when they take you to the full calculator, the amount travels in the fragment of the address (after the “#”), which the browser never sends to a server, and the calculator removes it at once.
The survey after your third month
After your third sealed month, the app offers you a short survey once. The app sends nothing in doing so: a tap opens the page wealth-level.app/survey in your browser. If you answer there, we store only your number from 0 to 10, your optional text, whether you came from the app or the website, and the month — no IP address, no time of day, no cookie, no identifier of your device. No visit counting runs on the survey page.
Answers are kept in a private store at our host Vercel (which technically records when each file was created) and are deleted no later than twelve months after the month of the answer. Because an answer carries nothing that leads back to you, we cannot match it to you afterwards — so please don’t write amounts or names into it. Whether you closed or opened the line in the app is remembered only on your device. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give by sending.
Deletion
“More → Danger zone → Delete all data” irrevocably removes history, positions, goals and game progress from this device. If iCloud sync is running, the deletion also applies to your other devices and your iCloud. If it could not start this time, the danger zone tells you so: then only this device is cleared, and whatever is in your iCloud stays there.
This website
This site embeds no fonts, scripts or images from third parties and sets no cookies. When you visit it, our hosting provider Vercel Inc. processes technically necessary connection data (including IP address, time and requested file) in order to deliver the site.
To count visits we use Vercel Web Analytics. It records page views with the page visited (without parameters), the referring page, country, device type, operating system and browser. It sets no cookies and builds no profiles across websites. Vercel recognises a returning visit by a hash that is discarded after 24 hours. Amounts you enter in the calculator or in one of the small calculators are not transmitted: everything is computed in your browser, no form submits an amount, and the page address is measured without parameters. Vercel processes the data on our behalf, including in the USA, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
The legal basis for both is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is delivering the site and learning, with as little data as possible, how many people visit it.
Your rights
You have the rights under Art. 15–21 GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection) and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Since we store no personal data about you, a request for access can usually only be answered by stating that we hold no data about you.
