Privacy policy

How we handle your data — the short answer: we don't.

Last updated: April 2025

1. At a glance

Steadycost is a native macOS application that runs exclusively on your Mac. The app works entirely offline, uses no cloud, no tracking, no analytics and requires no sign-up. All financial data you enter stays in the app's local sandbox on your device.

This privacy policy explains which data is processed when you visit the website steadycost.de and when you use the Steadycost Mac app.

2. Controller

Controller in the sense of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

Daniel Boberg
Klinkerwerkstraße 8
32549 Bad Oeynhausen
Germany
Email: kontakt@steadycost.de

3. Data processing inside the Steadycost app

3.1 Local data storage

All data you enter in Steadycost is stored exclusively in the app's own sandbox on your Mac (typically under ~/Library/Containers/app.steadycost/).

We have no access whatsoever to this data. There is no transmission to a server.

3.2 No telemetry, no analytics

Steadycost does not contain any tracking, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.

3.3 Data export

When you export data as CSV or PDF in the Pro version, those files are saved locally to a location you choose.

4. Data processing when visiting this website

4.1 Server log files

When you visit this website, our hosting provider automatically processes information your browser transmits (IP address, date/time, requested URL, HTTP status, transferred data volume, referrer, user agent). Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Logs are deleted after 14 days at the latest.

4.2 No cookies, no tracking

This website sets no cookies and uses no web analytics. A cookie banner is therefore not required.
