Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for MetricDrop

Last updated: November 11, 2026

In short

Your reports and bookings stay on your device. The app only loads public exchange rates from the ECB and the Bundesbank, without any data from your files. Optionally, you can sync through your private iCloud or retrieve analytics from App Store Connect with your own key. No account, no server of ours, no advertising, no tracking.

Data on Your Device

The app does not need an account, and we do not run any servers for it. The app contains no advertising, no tracking, and no analytics.

The files you import (e.g., financial reports, earnings reports, payment provider exports, bookkeeping exports) and everything derived from them (bookings, projects, rules, mapping profiles) stay on your device unless you turn on iCloud sync (see below). The app keeps a copy of each imported file so that it can read it again later. Deleting the app removes all of it from the device.

Exchange Rates

To convert foreign currencies, the app downloads public exchange rates from the European Central Bank (data-api.ecb.europa.eu) and the Deutsche Bundesbank (api.statistiken.bundesbank.de) when it starts. These requests contain no data from your files or your device. As with any connection, the servers receive your IP address and the technical details of the request; the privacy policies of the European Central Bank and the Deutsche Bundesbank apply. Without an internet connection, the app uses the rates it already has.

Optional iCloud Sync

iCloud sync is off by default. If you turn it on, your imported files and everything derived from them are additionally stored in your private iCloud database at Apple (CloudKit) and synced to your devices with the same Apple ID. Apple processes this data in accordance with its privacy policy; we have no access to it. With sync turned on, "Delete All Data" in the app also removes the data from your iCloud; you can also delete it in your device's iCloud storage settings.

Optional Retrieval from App Store Connect

In the settings, you can store an App Store Connect API key. Only then does the app retrieve the analytics reports of your apps from Apple (api.appstoreconnect.apple.com), such as impressions, product page views, and downloads, and create the report requests this requires in your App Store Connect account. The key is stored only in your device's keychain and is not synced via iCloud; Apple only receives a short-lived token signed with it. No data from your files is sent. The app stores the retrieved values like your imported files (with iCloud sync turned on, also in your iCloud). Apple's privacy policy applies; we receive none of this data. If you remove the connection in the settings, the app deletes the key and, if you choose, the retrieved values.

Sharing & Mapping Profiles

Reports, files, and mapping profiles only leave your device if you share them yourself (e.g., via AirDrop, Mail, or the share sheet). If you send us a mapping profile, it contains column names and assignments, but no amounts and no rows from your files. You see the content before sending.

Contact by E-Mail

If you write to us from the app, your mail app opens. We only use your message and e-mail address to answer your request.

App Store

You get the app through the Apple App Store. Apple is responsible for download, payment, and updates; we have no access to that data. Apple's privacy policy applies: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

If you have turned on "Share with App Developers" in the iOS settings, Apple provides us with anonymous crash reports and usage statistics. They do not identify you.

Legal Basis

Whatever happens only on your device or in your private iCloud does not reach us; we do not process that data.

Loading the public exchange rates is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is converting foreign currencies correctly.

If you e-mail us, we process your address and message to answer you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for questions about a purchase, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Storage Period

What the app stores on your device stays there until you delete it in the app or remove the app. Data in your iCloud can be deleted in your device's iCloud settings.

We delete e-mails to us once your request has been resolved, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

Your Rights

You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). You can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3)).

Since we do not keep accounts and the app does not identify you, we often cannot attribute data to a person (Art. 11 GDPR). Write to us anyway; we are happy to help.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

You can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), for example the one responsible for us: the data protection authority of Lower Saxony (LfD Niedersachsen), Prinzenstraße 5, 30159 Hannover, Germany, https://www.lfd.niedersachsen.de
