Tip Ledger: Tip Tracker – Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 13, 2026

This policy explains how the Tip Ledger: Tip Tracker app (the "App") handles information. The App is published on Google Play by Sce Apps (developer: Sıtkı Can Erzurum, Türkiye), package name com.sceapps.tipledger. Contact: cnerzurum@gmail.com

1. Summary

  • There is no account or sign-up. We never ask for your name, email address or phone number.
  • Your shifts, tips, hours, wages, jobs, goals and notes are stored only on your device. We do not run servers that store them.
  • Your amounts (tips, wages, sales), job names, notes and custom field values are never sent to us or to any analytics or ad service.
  • The App works without internet. Internet is used only for ads, usage statistics and purchases.
  • The App is free and shows ads provided by Google AdMob. The optional one-time purchase Tip Ledger Pro removes ads.
  • To improve the App we collect usage statistics with Google Analytics for Firebase.
  • The App is a personal record keeper. It does not give tax, legal or financial advice.
  • The App is not directed to children under 13.

2. Data stored on your device

The App saves the following on your device so that it can work:

  • your shifts: date, start and end time or hours, breaks, cash and card tips, in-app tips, tip-in/pool share, non-cash tips, service charges, tip-outs and who received them, hourly wage, sales, covers, base pay, deliveries and distance, clients, service sales and commission, shift type, position, section, notes and any custom fields you create;
  • your jobs: name, color, type of work, default hourly wage, tip-out rules, positions and sections;
  • your weekly or monthly goals;
  • your settings: theme, color theme, language, currency, week start, distance unit, vibration, reminders, app lock, and whether amounts are hidden in notifications and widgets;
  • whether you own Tip Ledger Pro, and simple app counters (number of saved shifts, last backup date, review prompt and ad counters).

You can edit or delete shifts and jobs in the App, and delete all data in Settings > Delete all data. All data is deleted when you uninstall the App or clear its data. Android's automatic backup is enabled so that your records can move to a new phone: if Android backup is turned on for your device, Android may include the App's data in your Google account backup. That backup is managed by Google under its own policy.

3. Permissions and how they are used

  • Notifications: asked only when you turn on the tip logging reminder. Used for that reminder and, if enabled in Settings, a weekly summary, a "monthly record is ready" notice and a backup reminder. Each can be turned off in Settings, and amounts can be hidden from notifications. Notifications are created on your device; no notification service or server is used.
  • Biometric (fingerprint or face) and screen lock: used only if you turn on App lock (Pro). The check is done by Android; the App never receives your fingerprint, face data, PIN or password.
  • Vibration: for button feedback (can be turned off in Settings).
  • Internet and network state: needed for ads, usage statistics and purchases. Logging shifts and all records work without internet.
  • Advertising ID (AD_ID): used by Google's ad and analytics services described below. You can reset or delete it in your device settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads).

The App does not access your contacts, photos, camera, microphone, location or device storage outside the files you choose yourself.

4. Files you choose, sharing and backups

  • Exporting: when you save or share a CSV spreadsheet or a PDF tip record, the App creates the file on your device and saves it to the place you pick, or opens Android's share window. The file goes only to the location, app or person you choose, under that app's own policy.
  • Importing: when you import a CSV file, the App reads the file you pick on your device only to create your shifts. The file is not sent anywhere.
  • Backup and restore: "Back up now" writes one file with your records and settings to the location you pick (for example your phone storage or a cloud folder). The App does not send this file anywhere else. Keep it somewhere safe, because it contains your income records.

5. Home screen widgets

Widgets (Pro) show your week total, hourly average and goal progress on your home screen. Anyone who can see your home screen can see these amounts. You can hide amounts on widgets in Settings > Privacy & security.

6. Advertising (Google AdMob)

If you do not own Tip Ledger Pro, the App shows banner ads and full-screen (interstitial) ads from Google AdMob, and you can choose to watch a rewarded ad to try a Pro feature (a PDF record once, or detailed insights for 24 hours). To show and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect information from your device such as the advertising ID, IP address (which can be used to estimate your approximate location), device and app information, and how you interact with ads. Ads may be personalized only where the law allows it and, where required, only with your consent. Ads are never shown while you are entering a shift.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the App shows Google's consent form before requesting ads. Where US state privacy laws apply, the App can show Google's US privacy message, where you can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for personalized ads. You can change your choices at any time in Settings > Privacy & security > Privacy options.

More information: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

7. Usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase)

We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the App is used and to improve it. It records events such as: the App was opened, setup was completed, a shift was saved, edited or deleted, a job or tip-out rule was added, a goal was set or reached, a screen (stats, calendar, tip record) was viewed, a file was exported or imported, a reminder was turned on, the Pro screen was opened, a setting was changed, and whether an ad was shown. Events contain only general details, for example the type of work, whether hours or a tip-out were entered, the number of saved shifts and jobs, and the export format. Tip amounts, wages, sales, job names, notes and custom field values are never included.

Firebase also collects some information automatically, such as an app instance ID, device model, operating system and app version, country or region, and session information. This data is processed by Google and kept for a limited period according to Google Analytics retention settings. Where consent is required, analytics storage follows your choice in the consent form.

More information: Privacy and security in Firebase.

8. Purchases (Tip Ledger Pro)

Tip Ledger Pro is a one-time purchase (no subscription) made through Google Play. Payment is handled entirely by Google; we never see your card or payment details. The App only receives a confirmation from Google Play that you own Pro, so it can unlock the Pro features and restore them on a new phone. Pro can also be unlocked with a code in Settings > Redeem code. The code is checked on your device and is not sent anywhere.

9. Ratings

The App may show Google Play's own rating window. Your rating and review are sent to Google Play, not to us.

10. No tax, legal or financial advice

The App helps you keep your own records. The amounts it shows are the amounts you entered. It does not calculate taxes and does not give tax, legal, accounting or financial advice. For tax questions, see your tax agency's publications or a tax professional.

11. Sharing and selling of data

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with anyone except through the Google services described above (AdMob, Firebase, Google Play), which act under their own privacy policies.

12. Security

Data on your device stays inside the App's private storage, which other apps cannot read. You can add App lock (Pro) for extra privacy. Data sent to Google services is sent over encrypted connections. Files you export (CSV, PDF, backup) leave the App's private storage, so keep them somewhere safe.

13. Your choices and rights

  • Change your ad consent or US privacy choices in Settings > Privacy & security > Privacy options (where available).
  • Reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings.
  • Turn reminders and summaries on or off in Settings, and notifications on or off in your phone's settings at any time.
  • Edit or delete shifts and jobs in the App, use Settings > Delete all data, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App to remove all data from your device.
  • Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, US state privacy laws such as the CCPA/CPRA, Canada's PIPEDA, or Türkiye's KVKK), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, to object to its processing, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. Because we do not keep your data on our own servers, most requests concern data held by Google; contact us and we will help.

14. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the App changes. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest version.
