Costos doesn’t collect any data. It has no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and it doesn’t send anything to us.
Your recipes, ingredients and their prices, quotes, the customer names and notes on them, your shopping list and your recipe photos are stored on your iPhone. So are your settings: your business name, logo and contact line, your hourly rate, overhead, profit and the note on every quote.
If iCloud is on for Costos, it keeps a copy of all of this in your own iCloud account, so it matches on your other devices. Apple stores that copy for you, and we can’t see it. With iCloud off, everything stays on your iPhone.
You choose recipe photos and your logo with the iOS photo picker, and Costos sees only the ones you choose. It keeps a smaller copy of each.
The first time you tap Save Image on a quote, Costos asks for permission to add to your Photos library. That lets it save the quote’s image there, and doesn’t let it see the photos you already have.
A quote goes only where you send it, such as a WhatsApp chat or an email. What happens to it there is up to that app and the person who gets it.
The unlock is sold through the App Store. Apple handles the payment, and Costos only learns whether the unlock is active.
Everything stays until you delete it. Deleting a recipe, ingredient or quote in Costos also deletes it from your other devices through iCloud. Deleting the app removes what Costos stored on your iPhone, and the copy in iCloud stays until you delete it: in the Settings app, tap your name, then iCloud, open your iCloud storage and choose Costos. If you back up your iPhone, the backup includes Costos’s data, as it does for your other apps.
To stop syncing, turn Costos off in the list of apps that use iCloud, under your name and iCloud in the Settings app. To take back Photos access, go to Settings, then Apps, then Costos.
Costos collects nothing from anyone, children included.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
