PRIVACY POLICY FOR RECUR
Last Updated: January 12, 2026
OVERVIEW
Recur ("we", "our", or "the app") is a subscription and bill tracking application. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and
your rights.
The short version: Your data stays on your device. We don't collect, store, or sell your personal information.
