Souvenir

Who is responsible

Souvenir is made by Codonic, an independent software studio. If you have a question about anything on this page, write to dev@codonic.dev. For help with the app itself, support@codonic.dev is the faster address.

This policy covers these store listings:

• Souvenir for iOS — App Store
• Souvenir for Android — Google Play

What Souvenir collects

Souvenir does not collect personal data.

Everything in your journal is stored in the app’s own database on your device: your trips, your expenses and their amounts, the photos and receipts you attach, the locations you record, the names of the people you travel with, and the nicknames and last four digits you give your payment cards. None of it is sent to us.

Currency exchange rates

Souvenir fetches currency exchange rates from frankfurter.dev, with public fallback sources if it is unreachable. This is the app’s only network traffic.

Those requests contain only currency codes and dates — for example, “the euro-to-baht rate on 14 July”. They carry no personal data and no identifier of you or your device. Rates are cached on the device and stored with each expense as you save it, so the app keeps working offline.

Automatic capture Android only

Souvenir on Android has an optional feature called Automatic capture. It is off by default and does nothing until you turn it on and explicitly grant Android’s notification-access permission.

When enabled, it reads notifications on the device in order to spot payment alerts — a Google Pay tap, a bank charge notice — and offer to turn them into expenses. Only notifications that contain a monetary amount are used, and only while one of your trips is ongoing.

All of this happens on the device. Notification content is never transmitted anywhere, is not retained beyond the expense entry it creates, and is never shared with anyone. You can turn the feature off at any time, either in the app or in your Android system settings.

Capturing Apple Pay purchases iOS only

On iOS, capturing an Apple Pay purchase works through a Shortcuts automation that you create yourself. Souvenir never accesses Wallet, your payment credentials or your transaction history. It only receives whatever your own automation chooses to hand it.

Location

Location is used at the moment you add an expense: a single one-shot fix suggests the local currency and, if you keep it, pins the expense to a place. It is stored with that expense like the rest of your journal and is never sent to us. Souvenir does not track you in the background, and you can decline the permission — you then pick the currency yourself.

Photos and camera

Photos and receipt images you attach are stored on your device, inside the app’s own database. They are never sent to us.

Deleting your data

Deleting a trip deletes that trip’s data. Deleting the app deletes everything it held.

You do not need to send a deletion request, and there is no request we could act on, because we hold nothing belonging to you.

Device backups

Your device’s own backup system — Apple’s on iOS, Google’s on Android — may include Souvenir’s data, under the backup mechanism and encryption those companies provide. That arrangement is between you and them, and is governed by their terms, not ours.

Children

Souvenir is not directed at children, and it collects no data from anyone, of any age.

Your rights

Privacy law in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California and elsewhere gives you rights over personal data a company holds about you: to see it, correct it, delete it, take it elsewhere, and object to its use. It also gives you the right to complain to your national data protection authority.

We hold no personal data about you through Souvenir, so there is nothing for us to hand over, correct or erase. What you create in the app stays under your control. We do not sell personal information.

If you have written to us by email, that correspondence is the one thing we do hold. Ask at dev@codonic.dev and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this same address with a new “last updated” date above. The address does not change.
