Calcula App Privacy Policy

The app has no accounts and never asks who you are. This page says exactly what it sends, what it never sends, and who else is involved.

1. What this policy covers

This policy covers the Calcula calculator app for iPhone, iPad and Android, published by Turbo Ventura of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is the policy referenced by the app’s App Store and Google Play listings.

The calcula.live website has its own privacy policy, which covers its cookies and analytics. None of that applies to the app. Where the two overlap, this page governs the app.

2. What stays on your device

Every calculation runs on your device, inside the app. The following is stored only on the device and never reaches us:

• Your inputs and results: salaries, amounts, dates, measurements and everything else you type into a calculator.
• Your history and favourites: the tools you used, the values you entered, the result and when you ran it, kept in a database inside the app’s own storage.
• Your last inputs per tool: the values you typed in each calculator, kept per tool and country so the tool reopens with them. Reset to defaults in a tool clears them.
• Your settings: language, country (market) and theme.

Nothing is synced: the app uses no iCloud, Google Drive or account backup of its own. You can clear history inside the app at any time. Deleting the app removes all of it.

Widgets

If you add a Calcula widget, the last-calculation widget shows your most recent result on your home screen, so anyone who can see your screen can see it. The favourites widget shows up to four of your favourite tools, by name and icon, and opens a tool when you tap it. Both read from the app’s storage on the device, through the system’s app-group storage, and send nothing anywhere. The rates widget, on the home screen or the iPhone Lock Screen, downloads exchange rates from calcula.live in the same way as the app (section 3). Removing a widget stops it.

Search, Siri and shortcuts

• Spotlight (iPhone and iPad): the names, titles and keywords of the app’s tools, in the app language, are indexed on the device with Apple’s CoreSpotlight, so tools show up in iPhone search. Your inputs, results and history are never indexed.
• Siri and Shortcuts (iPhone and iPad): the “Open a tool” action reads the tool list on the device and opens the app. The app sends nothing anywhere for it.
• Control Center (iOS 18 and later): the Calcula button opens the app on search. It uses no data.
• App shortcuts (Android): your first four favourite tools appear when you long-press the app icon. This list is kept on the device.

3. What the app requests from us

The app talks to one service of ours, the calcula.live website, served through the Cloudflare network. It makes these requests:

• Calculator updates: the app checks for new versions of its calculators, tax rates and texts, and downloads them when they change.
• Live rates: currency exchange rates and the gold price, for the tools and the rates widget that need them.
• City search: when you search for a city (for example for distance or sunrise times), the letters you type into that search box are sent so we can return matching places.

These requests carry no device identifier and no advertising identifier. Apart from the city-search text described above, they carry none of your inputs or results. Like any web server, ours and Cloudflare’s see the IP address a request comes from and basic technical details (such as the app version in the request). These are used only to deliver the response, keep the service secure and fix faults. We do not use them to identify you or build a profile.

4. Purchases

Calcula Pro is a one-time purchase, made through Apple’s In-App Purchase or Google Play Billing. It unlocks comparison, PDF export and your full history. Apple or Google takes the payment and holds the payment details. We never see your card, your billing address or your account credentials, and we receive no purchase record from the app. The app checks your purchase with Apple or Google on the device. On a new device, use Restore purchases. Refunds are handled by Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google Play.

5. Permissions

The app needs internet access to download calculator updates and live rates, and on Android the Google Play billing permission for buying Pro. It does not request access to your location, contacts, calendar, camera, microphone or photos, and it does not send notifications. Cities are picked by search, not by location.

6. Links, feedback and ratings

Links you open

Source links in tool articles (for example to ÇSGB, SGK, GİB, ANAF or gov.uk), and the privacy policy and website links in Settings, open in an in-app browser: Safari View Controller on iPhone and iPad, Chrome Custom Tabs on Android. The site you open receives your visit as it would from any browser, under its own privacy policy. The app passes it none of your inputs or results.

Sending feedback

Send feedback in Settings opens your own mail app with a new message to [email protected]. The subject and body are pre-filled with the app version, platform, operating-system version and your language and country setting, so we can reproduce a problem. You see all of it and can edit or delete it before sending. Nothing is sent unless you send the email yourself, and we use what you send only to answer you.

Rating prompts

The app may ask the system to show its standard review sheet (Apple StoreKit on iPhone and iPad, Google Play In-App Review on Android): on the first finished calculation of your 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th day of use, after you share a result, and after you buy Pro, and at most once a day. To do this the app keeps only the relevant dates on the device. Whether the sheet actually appears, and any rating or review you leave, is handled by Apple or Google; we never learn whether you were shown the sheet or what you rated there.

7. Retention and deletion

• Inputs, history, favourites and settings, and the dates kept for rating prompts, stay on your device until you clear them or delete the app.
• Server and Cloudflare request logs are kept only as long as needed to run and secure the service.

We hold no account or device record about you, so there is nothing of yours we can look up on our side. Deleting the app removes everything it stored on the device and stops anything further being sent.

8. Children

Calcula is a general-purpose calculator. It is not directed at children under 13, or the equivalent minimum age where you live. We do not knowingly collect personal data from them, and the app asks no one for a name, email address or age.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its processing, to withdraw a consent you gave, and to complain to your supervisory authority. These rights come from laws such as the GDPR (EEA), the UK GDPR, the KVKK (Türkiye), the CCPA/CPRA (California) and the UAE Personal Data Protection Law.

We do not sell personal data. For any request, write to us at the address below.

10. International transfers

Our service and Cloudflare may process request data outside your country, including in the United States. They do so under the transfer mechanisms set out in their own policies, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

11. Security

The strongest protection here is structural: we never receive your calculations, history or settings, so we cannot leak them. Everything the app downloads travels over HTTPS.

12. Changes to this policy

When this policy changes materially, for example with a new partner or a new category of data, the date at the top changes. The App Store and Google Play privacy details for the app are updated to match.
