Terms of Use & Privacy Policy

About Tippies

Tippies is developed by Aleksandra Komagorkina ("Developer"). By using the app, you agree to these terms and to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement.

What the App Does

Tippies is a tip calculator. It calculates tips, splits bills, keeps a tip jar of the tips you log, shows how people tip in countries around the world, and shows results in Home Screen widgets and on Apple Watch.

Privacy in Short

The Developer does not collect personal data. There are no accounts, analytics, advertising or tracking. What you enter stays on your devices.

Data Stored on Your Device

• Calculations and settings (bill, tip, split, presets, theme) are stored on your device.
• Tip jar: tips you choose to log (amount, tip, place, category, cash or card, currency, and the country you were in) are stored on your device. You can edit or delete them, or export them as a CSV file that you share yourself.
• Widgets and Apple Watch read your settings and Pro status from your iPhone. This stays between your own devices.

Location (Optional)

If you allow it, Tippies uses your approximate location to find which country you're in. It uses this to show that country's tipping customs, save tips in the local currency, and welcome you when you arrive somewhere new.

• To find the country, your approximate location is looked up with Apple's mapping service, under Apple's Privacy Policy.
• Only the country (for example "JP") is kept, on your device. Your location is never sent to the Developer and is not stored.
• Tippies works without location. You can change this at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Location Services › Tippies.

Exchange Rates

To convert tips and show approximate rates, Tippies downloads a public table of currency exchange rates at most once a day, from the open-source exchange-api project (served by jsDelivr and Cloudflare). The request contains no personal data. As with any web request, those services can see your IP address. A built-in copy of the rates is used when you're offline.

Tipping Assistant (Pro, Apple Intelligence)

On devices with Apple Intelligence, the tipping assistant writes guides and answers your questions on your device. Your questions are not sent to the Developer or any server.

Third-Party Services

• Apple handles app distribution and payments. See Apple's Privacy Policy.
• RevenueCat manages purchases on the Developer's behalf. It receives your purchase history and an anonymous app user ID, not your name or email. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

In-App Purchases

Tippies is free to download. Tippies Pro is a one-time purchase through the App Store that unlocks colour themes, widget presets, the Apple Watch app, the tipping assistant and CSV export. Payments are processed by Apple; the Developer never receives your payment details. Purchases can be restored from the paywall.

Support

Contact hi@aleksandra.tech for support. If you email, the Developer sees your email address and message in order to reply. Support emails are deleted on request.

Children

Tippies is not intended for children under 13.

Disclaimer

The app is provided "as is" without warranty. Tipping customs and exchange rates are approximate guidance; always check amounts before paying. The Developer is not liable for any damages arising from use of the app.

Changes

These terms may be updated. The effective date above shows the latest version.
