Privacy policy

PerchWise tracks your subscriptions and trials so you notice before it costs you. That needs data. This page says exactly what we hold, why, who else sees it and how you remove it.

Last updated: 16 September 2026

What we hold and why

Your account

Your email address, a hashed password, your language setting and a unique forwarding address on perchwise.nl. Without these you cannot sign in and we cannot tell whose subscription is whose.

Your subscriptions

Service name, amount, currency, frequency, status, payment date, trial end date and your own notes. This is the content of the app.

Email you forward

When you forward a confirmation email to your forwarding address, we read the text to extract a subscription. For that it is sent to Anthropic's Claude API. Anthropic processes it only to answer and does not use it to train models. We keep the result; we do not keep the email.

A connected mailbox

If you connect a mailbox we store the email address, the IMAP server and the app password you create for it. That password stays on the server and is never sent back to the app. We only read messages to recognise subscriptions. Disconnect the mailbox and those details are deleted.

Purchases

Premium and Family are billed by the App Store or Google Play. We never see payment details. RevenueCat tells us which tier is active and until when.

Feedback

If you send feedback from the app we keep your message, the app version and your language, so we can reply and fix things.

What we do not do

  • No advertising and no ad networks.
  • No analytics or tracking packages in the app.
  • No selling or renting your data to anyone.
  • No advertising profiles.

Who else sees data

  • Anthropic (Claude API), to read the text of forwarded or fetched email.
  • RevenueCat, to know your subscription tier.
  • Apple and Google, for the purchase itself.
  • Our hosting provider, as a technical supplier.
  • Google, for logos only: the app fetches a service icon from Google's favicon service, which reveals the domain requested and your IP address.

Nobody else. We hand data to an authority only where the law requires it.

Notifications

Trial reminders and price alerts are scheduled on your own device. Nothing is pushed through a server and no push token is stored.

How long we keep it

As long as your account exists. Delete your account and your data goes with it: account, subscriptions, connected mailboxes, detected price changes and your forwarding address. Server backups expire within thirty days.

Deleting your account

You can do it in the app: Settings, at the bottom under your account. It is immediate and permanent. If that fails, email privacy@perchwise.nl and we will do it within thirty days.

Your rights

You may see, correct, delete or take your data with you. Seeing and taking it works straight from the app through the export to clipboard. For the rest an email is enough. If you disagree with how we handle it, you can complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority.

Children

PerchWise is not made for children under sixteen.

Changes

If something material changes we update this page and the date at the top.
