Currency Converter — Privacy Policy & Terms of Use
Effective date: April 13, 2026 | Last updated: August 5, 2026
This document contains both the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use for Currency Converter. Please read both sections carefully before using the App.
Part I — Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Currency Converter ("the App"), developed and published by Approve The Move ("we", "us", or "our"), handles information when you ("you" or "the user") download, install, or use the App on any supported device.
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy applies to all versions of Currency Converter distributed through the Apple App Store and any future platforms.
By downloading, installing, or using Currency Converter, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App and remove it from your device.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect, transmit, or process any personal data. Currency Converter is designed from the ground up as a privacy-first application. Specifically:
- No account creation — You are never required or asked to sign up, log in, create an account, or provide an email address, phone number, or any other personal identifier.
- No analytics or tracking — We do not use any analytics frameworks, crash reporting services, telemetry tools, device fingerprinting, or usage tracking of any kind.
- No advertising — The App contains no advertisements, no advertising SDKs, no ad identifiers (IDFA), and no advertising networks.
- No personal data transmitted — The App's only network request (fetching exchange rates) does not include any personal data, device identifiers, or tracking information. See Section 4 for full details.
- No in-app purchases — No financial, billing, or payment information is collected or processed.
- No location data — The App does not request, access, or store your geographic location.
- No contacts or photos — The App does not access your contacts, photo library, camera, microphone, or any other device sensor beyond haptic feedback.
- No cloud sync — The App does not use iCloud, CloudKit, or any cloud synchronization service. All data remains exclusively on your device.
We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal information — we never possess it in the first place. Because no personal data ever reaches us, there is nothing on our side to sell, share, monetize, or lose.
3. On-Device Storage
Currency Converter stores a small amount of non-personal preference data locally on your device using Apple's UserDefaults system. This data is stored within the App's private sandbox, is not accessible to other apps, and never leaves your device.
Data stored locally includes:
- Theme preference (System, Light, or Dark)
- Accent color selection
- Haptic feedback preference
- Selected currencies list (which currencies you have chosen to display)
- Currency order (your preferred arrangement of currencies)
- Base currency selection
- Internal counters used only to decide when to show the "rate this app" prompt (a count of successful rate fetches and the last version for which the prompt was shown) — no personal data
In addition, the App caches exchange rate data locally on your device for offline use. This cached data contains only currency codes and their corresponding exchange rates — no personal information of any kind. The App also includes bundled seed/fallback rates so it can function without any network connection.
This data is declared in our Privacy Manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) under API category NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults with reason code CA92.1 (access to store and retrieve user preferences), as required by Apple.
How to delete: You can erase all locally stored preferences and cached exchange rates at any time by deleting Currency Converter from your device. The App itself retains no residual data after uninstallation; device or iCloud backups made before deletion may retain copies, which are managed by iOS/Apple and outside our control.
4. Network Activity
Currency Converter makes a single type of network request: fetching current exchange rates from open.er-api.com, a public exchange rate API. This is the only network communication the App performs.
4.1 What Is Sent
The request to open.er-api.com contains no personal data. Specifically:
- No device identifiers, advertising IDs, or hardware fingerprints
- No user names, email addresses, or account information
- No location data or IP-based geolocation
- No analytics, telemetry, or tracking parameters
- No cookies or session tokens
The request is a standard HTTPS GET request that retrieves publicly available currency exchange rate data. Only the standard HTTP headers automatically included by the operating system (such as User-Agent) are transmitted.
4.2 What Is Received
The response contains only currency exchange rate data — currency codes and their corresponding numerical rates. No personal data, tracking pixels, scripts, or identifiers are received or processed.
4.3 Offline Operation
The App includes bundled seed/fallback exchange rates and caches previously fetched rates locally. If a rate request fails or no internet connection is available, the App operates fully offline using cached or bundled rates, and is designed to keep working.
4.4 No Other Network Activity
Beyond fetching exchange rates from open.er-api.com, the App makes no other network requests. There are no connections to analytics servers, advertising networks, crash reporting services, social media APIs, or any other external endpoints.
5. Third-Party Services & SDKs
Currency Converter does not integrate, embed, or communicate with any third-party services, SDKs, APIs, or frameworks that collect, process, or transmit user data. The App uses exclusively Apple-provided first-party system frameworks:
| Framework | Purpose | Data Collection |
|---|---|---|
| SwiftUI | User interface rendering | None |
| Foundation (URLSession) | Fetching exchange rates from open.er-api.com | None (no personal data sent) |
The exchange rate data is fetched from open.er-api.com, a public API that provides currency conversion rates. This API does not require authentication, API keys, or any user-identifying information. We have no data-sharing relationship with this service.
We do not use Firebase, Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, Unity, AdMob, Crashlytics, Sentry, Amplitude, Mixpanel, or any other third-party data collection tool.
6. Apple's Data Practices
While Currency Converter itself does not collect data, please be aware that Apple may independently collect certain information related to your use of the App Store, such as download statistics and crash logs. This data collection is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy, not ours, and is outside our control.
We have declared in App Store Connect that Currency Converter collects no data linked to or tracking the user, as reflected on the App's App Store product page under "App Privacy."
7. Children's Privacy
Currency Converter is rated 4+ by Apple and is designed to be suitable for users of all ages. The App does not contain violence, gambling (real or simulated), horror, mature themes, profanity, or any other objectionable material.
Because we do not collect any personal information from any user of any age, we are compliant with the following regulations regarding children's privacy:
- COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, United States) — We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Since the App collects no personal information from anyone, no COPPA violation can occur.
- GDPR-K / Age of Digital Consent (European Economic Area) — We do not process personal data of minors under 16 (or the lower age set by individual EEA member states). Since no personal data is processed, no parental consent is required.
- Apple's Guidelines for Apps Used by Children — The App contains no data collection, no third-party analytics, and no advertising. The only external links are in the Settings/About screen (rate the app on the App Store, contact support by email, and view this privacy policy).
Parents, guardians, and educators can allow children to use Currency Converter with full confidence that no personal information is collected, stored, or shared.
8. Your Rights Under Applicable Laws
We respect and support the privacy rights granted to individuals under applicable data protection legislation worldwide.
8.1 European Economic Area (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent local laws grant you the following rights regarding personal data:
- Right of access (Article 15) — Request a copy of personal data held about you.
- Right to rectification (Article 16) — Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Right to erasure (Article 17) — Request deletion of your personal data.
- Right to restrict processing (Article 18) — Request that we limit how we use your data.
- Right to data portability (Article 20) — Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object (Article 21) — Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Right to withdraw consent (Article 7) — Withdraw previously given consent at any time.
Since we do not collect, store, or process any personal data, there is no data for us to provide, correct, restrict, delete, port, or cease processing. Your local preferences can be erased by deleting the App. If you believe we hold data about you in error, please contact us and we will investigate promptly.
Legal basis for processing: We do not process personal data. The on-device preference storage operates under legitimate interest (providing a functional user experience) and does not constitute data processing under GDPR as the data never leaves the device or reaches us.
Data controller: Approve The Move (contact details in Section 31).
8.2 California (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) grants you specific rights regarding personal information:
- Right to know — You may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected.
- Right to delete — You may request deletion of personal information collected.
- Right to correct — You may request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Right to opt out of sale or sharing — You may direct us not to sell or share your personal information.
- Right to non-discrimination — You will not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.
We do not collect, sell, or share personal information. We have not sold or shared personal information of any consumer in the preceding 12 months, nor do we intend to do so.
California's "Do Not Track" signals and Global Privacy Control (GPC) are respected by default, as the App does not track users in any capacity.
8.3 Qatar & Middle East
If you are located in Qatar or other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, we comply with applicable data protection laws, including Qatar's Law No. 13 of 2016 on Personal Data Privacy. As we do not collect personal data, no registration with the Compliance and Data Protection Department is required.
8.4 Other Jurisdictions
Regardless of your location, the same principle applies: we do not collect personal data, so there is no data to exercise rights over. If your local laws grant you additional privacy rights, please contact us and we will cooperate fully.
9. Data Security
Although we do not collect or store personal data on any server, we employ the following security measures to protect your experience within the App:
- Encrypted network communication — All exchange rate requests are made over HTTPS (TLS-encrypted connections), helping protect data in transit between your device and the exchange rate API from interception.
- Sandboxed storage — On-device preferences and cached rates are stored within the App's iOS sandbox, which is isolated from other apps and protected by the operating system.
- Minimal network exposure — The App connects only to a single, well-defined endpoint (open.er-api.com) for exchange rate data, minimizing the network attack surface.
- No persistent sensitive data — No passwords, tokens, credentials, or financial data are ever stored or processed.
That said, we want to be honest with you: no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and no developer can truthfully promise otherwise. The security of data on your device also depends on Apple's operating system, your own device settings (such as a passcode), and the infrastructure of the third-party rate service — none of which we control. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for security incidents arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
10. Data Retention
We do not operate servers, databases, or cloud storage of any kind. We do not retain any user data. All data associated with Currency Converter exists exclusively on your personal device:
| Data Type | Storage Location | Retention Period |
|---|---|---|
| User preferences | Device (UserDefaults) | Until App is deleted |
| Cached exchange rates | Device (local cache) | Until App is deleted or rates are refreshed |
When you delete the App, all associated data is permanently removed from your device by the operating system.
11. International Considerations
Currency Converter is available worldwide through the Apple App Store. The App's only external network communication (fetching exchange rates from open.er-api.com) involves the transfer of non-personal currency rate data only. No personal data is transferred internationally or otherwise. All user preferences and settings remain on your local device at all times, regardless of your geographic location.
Part II — Terms of Use
12. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Currency Converter, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the App and remove it from your device.
These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Approve The Move ("we", "us", "our") governing your use of the App.
13. License Grant
Subject to your compliance with these terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use Currency Converter on any Apple device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.
This license is also governed by the Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA), which is incorporated into these terms by reference.
14. Restrictions
You agree not to:
- Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works based on the App.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the source code of the App.
- Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices.
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.
- Exploit the App or any part of it for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.
- Use the exchange rate data provided by the App for automated trading, algorithmic decision-making, or any commercial financial service without independent verification from authoritative sources.
15. Exchange Rate Disclaimer
The exchange rates displayed in Currency Converter are provided for informational and personal reference purposes only. They are not financial advice, and you must never rely on them for actual transactions.
You acknowledge and agree that:
- Exchange rates are sourced from a third-party public API (open.er-api.com) that we do not own, operate, or control. The rates are indicative mid-market rates and may be delayed, cached, incomplete, or inaccurate at any given time.
- The rates displayed do not constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or solicitations to buy, sell, or trade any currency.
- Exchange rates must not be relied upon for actual transactions — including currency trading, foreign exchange transactions, remittances, money transfers, financial planning, accounting, tax calculations, or any other activity where the accuracy or timeliness of an exchange rate is material. Always confirm the actual rate with your bank, remittance provider, or financial institution before committing to any transaction.
- Actual rates offered by banks, currency exchanges, remittance services, and financial institutions include spreads, fees, and commissions and may differ significantly from the mid-market rates displayed in the App.
- When the App operates offline using cached or bundled fallback rates, the displayed rates may be substantially outdated and should be treated with additional caution.
- We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, or suitability of any exchange rate data displayed in the App.
You assume all risk associated with your use of the exchange rate information provided by the App, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on that information. For financial transactions, trading, remittances, or any purpose requiring accurate and current exchange rates, always consult an authorized financial institution or a professional foreign exchange service.
16. No Professional or Financial Advice
Currency Converter is a general-purpose informational utility. Nothing in the App — including displayed rates, conversion results, or any other content — constitutes financial, investment, trading, banking, tax, accounting, legal, or other professional advice, and the App is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. We are not a bank, broker, money-services business, remittance provider, or licensed financial advisor.
Before making any decision that depends on an exchange rate — sending money abroad, exchanging currency, pricing goods or services, settling invoices, or anything similar — consult your bank, a licensed remittance provider, or a qualified financial professional. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all liability for decisions made in reliance on information displayed in the App.
17. Assumption of Risk
By using Currency Converter, you expressly acknowledge and voluntarily accept the risks inherent in using a free, informational currency utility, including that:
- Displayed rates may differ — sometimes significantly — from the real-world rates available to you at any bank, exchange, or remittance service;
- The third-party rate service may become slow, unavailable, or inaccurate at any time without notice, in which case the App relies on cached or bundled rates that may be out of date;
- Conversion results are mathematical estimates based on indicative data and may not match the amount you would actually pay or receive in a real transaction;
- Like all software, the App may contain defects and may behave unexpectedly on some devices or operating system versions.
You agree that you use the App with these risks in mind and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume full responsibility for any decision you make based on information displayed in the App. This section does not exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
18. Intellectual Property
All rights, title, and interest in and to Currency Converter — including but not limited to the software code, visual design, user interface elements, graphics, animations, and documentation — are and shall remain the exclusive property of Approve The Move.
The name "Currency Converter", the Approve The Move name and logo, and all associated branding are trademarks of Approve The Move. Nothing in these terms grants you any right to use our trademarks without prior written permission.
Exchange rate data displayed within the App is sourced from third-party providers and is not claimed as proprietary content of Approve The Move.
19. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.
Without limiting the above, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we specifically disclaim:
- Implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and quiet enjoyment;
- Any warranties arising from course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade;
- Any warranty that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components;
- Any warranty regarding the accuracy, reliability, timeliness, or completeness of any exchange rate data or other content within the App, or that exchange rates will be current, correct, or reflective of actual market conditions.
No oral or written information or advice given by us — whether through the App, our website, or our support email — creates any warranty not expressly stated in these terms.
You acknowledge that the App is a utility provided for informational purposes and that your use of the App is at your sole risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so some or all of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
20. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL APPROVE THE MOVE OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY:
- Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages;
- Loss of data, profits, revenue, goodwill, anticipated savings, or other intangible losses;
- Personal injury or property damage, to the extent such a limitation is permitted by applicable law;
- Damages arising from your use of or inability to use the App;
- Damages arising from any unauthorized access to or alteration of your device or data;
- Damages arising from reliance on exchange rate data displayed in the App, including but not limited to financial losses incurred from currency trading, conversion, remittance, or exchange decisions;
- Damages arising from the unavailability, delay, or inaccuracy of exchange rate data or of the third-party rate service;
- Any other damages arising out of or in connection with these terms or the App;
regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based (contract, tort — including negligence — strict liability, or otherwise), and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Aggregate cap. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the App or these terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim (the App is free, so this amount will typically be zero) and (b) ten United States dollars (USD 10).
The exclusions and limitations in this section apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or of liability for personal injury, so some or all of the above limitations may not apply to you; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
21. Statutory Consumer Rights
Nothing in these terms excludes, limits, or waives any statutory consumer rights or other rights that you have under the mandatory laws of your country of residence and that cannot be excluded, limited, or waived by agreement. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations in these terms apply only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and are not intended to deprive you of any protection the law guarantees you as a consumer.
22. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Approve The Move, and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
- Your use, misuse, or access of the App;
- Your reliance on exchange rate data provided by the App, including any transaction, trading, or remittance decision you make;
- Your violation of these Terms of Use;
- Your violation of any applicable law or regulation;
- Your infringement of the rights of any third party.
This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own breach of these terms, and it does not affect any non-waivable rights you have under applicable consumer protection law.
23. Force Majeure
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the App's performance, availability, or functionality caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: outages, changes, or discontinuation of the third-party exchange rate service (open.er-api.com); cloud, hosting, or content delivery failures; Apple App Store or iOS platform restrictions, changes, or outages; internet or telecommunications network failures; power failures; acts of God, natural disasters, fire, or flood; war, terrorism, or civil unrest; labor disputes; epidemics or pandemics; or acts of government, laws, or regulations.
24. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Qatar, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these terms or the App shall be resolved as follows:
- Informal resolution — You agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us at support@approvethemove.com. We will attempt to resolve the dispute within 30 days. Most concerns can be settled this way, quickly and amicably.
- Courts of Qatar — If informal resolution fails, then to the extent permitted by applicable law, any remaining dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the State of Qatar.
Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.
Consumer forum protection: If the mandatory laws of your country of residence grant you the right to bring or defend proceedings before the courts of that country, or the protection of that country's consumer laws, nothing in this section deprives you of that right or protection.
For EU/EEA residents: Nothing in these terms limits your right to bring proceedings before the courts of your country of residence, as required by Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012.
25. Termination
These terms are effective until terminated. Your rights under these terms will terminate automatically and without notice if you fail to comply with any provision.
Upon termination, you must cease all use of the App and delete all copies from your devices. Sections 15 through 24 and Sections 26 through 29 shall survive any termination of these terms.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App (or any part thereof) at any time without notice or liability.
26. No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. A waiver of any breach is effective only if in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.
27. Assignment
We may assign or transfer these terms, in whole or in part, without restriction — for example, in connection with a reorganization or a transfer of the App. You may not assign or transfer these terms, or any of your rights or obligations under them, without our prior written consent; any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void.
28. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.
29. Entire Agreement
These terms, together with the Privacy Policy above and Apple's Licensed Application EULA, constitute the entire agreement between you and Approve The Move regarding your use of Currency Converter. These terms supersede any prior agreements, communications, or understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the App.
