BOOKDU Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

Overview

BOOKDU is a payment tracking app for Australian freelancers. We believe your financial data is personal and should remain under your control. This privacy policy explains how BOOKDU handles your information.

Data Storage

All data you enter into BOOKDU is stored locally on your device:

• Job and payment records - Stored in a local database on your iPhone
• Expense records - Stored locally on your device
• Tax calculations - Computed locally based on your entered data
• App preferences - Stored locally on your device

We do not operate any servers or cloud services. Your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it (e.g., CSV export for your accountant).

Camera and Photo Library Access

BOOKDU requests access to your camera and photo library for one purpose only:

• Payslip OCR scanning - To photograph or select images of payslips for automatic data extraction

Images you capture or select are:

• Processed locally on your device using on-device OCR
• Stored locally as attachments to your job records
• Never uploaded to any external server

Data We Do NOT Collect

BOOKDU does not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:

• Personal identification information
• Location data
• Usage analytics or tracking data
• Advertising identifiers
• Your financial records or payslip images

No Account Required

BOOKDU does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use the app. There is no sign-up, login, or registration process.

No Third-Party Services

BOOKDU does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services. The app operates entirely offline and does not make any network requests.

Data Export

You can export your data as a CSV file at any time. This export is initiated by you and the file is saved to your device or shared via iOS sharing options. We have no access to exported files.

Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

• Deleting individual jobs or expenses removes them from your device
• Uninstalling BOOKDU removes all app data from your device
• There is no cloud data to request deletion of
