Private by design.
Cledger was built with privacy first. Your work history, earnings and personal records stay on your device and remain entirely under your control.
No accounts. No subscriptions. No hidden data collection.
Everything Cledger does is designed to keep your information private, local and under your control.
-
Fully Offline
Use Cledger without an internet connection. Your records are processed and stored directly on your device.
-
Stored on Your Device
Your work history, earnings, expenses and reports remain on your phone or tablet.
-
No Account Required
No registration, email address, profile or login is needed.
-
No Tracking
No advertising trackers, behavioural analytics or background monitoring.
-
No Data Selling
Your information is never sold, shared with data brokers or used for advertising.
-
Backups You Control
You decide when to create a backup, where to save it and when to restore it.
Privacy isn't a feature.
It's a principle.
We believe your work history, earnings and personal records belong to you—not to advertisers, data brokers or cloud platforms.
The modern internet is built around collecting information.
Many apps track behaviour, build profiles and monetise user data.
We chose another path.
Cledger works without accounts, without analytics and without advertising.
"Free apps often come at another cost: your data."
Private by design. Private by default.
Privacy Policy

1. Introduction
Welcome to Cledger ("the App", "we", "our", or "us"). Cledger is a personal income and work-day tracking application designed for offshore and maritime workers. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, where it is stored, and your rights regarding that information.
By downloading and using Cledger, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use Your Information
All data you enter into Cledger is used solely for the following purposes:
- To display your financial dashboard, earnings summaries, and progress toward your yearly targets within the App
- To generate charts and statistics (work-life balance, payment turnaround, yearly overview, etc.)
- To produce backup files that you can save to your device for safekeeping
- To restore your data from a backup file you provide
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the App's features for you.
4. Where Your Data Is Stored
ALL data entered into Cledger is stored exclusively on your device using SQLite, a local on-device database.
- No data is transmitted to any external server
- No data is stored in the cloud
- No data is shared with Hamben or any third party
- The App does not require an internet connection to function
Your data never leaves your device unless you manually export it yourself using the backup feature described in Section 5.
5. Backup and Data Export
Cledger includes a manual backup feature that allows you to export your data as a CSV (comma-separated values) file.
- On iOS: The App uses the system Share Sheet to allow you to save the backup file to your Files app, email it to yourself, or share it via any app you choose.
- On Android: The App requests permission to write to your chosen storage folder and saves the backup file there.
You are fully in control of where your backup goes. Hamben never receives, accesses, or stores your backup files.
You may also restore data by uploading a previously saved backup CSV file. This replaces your current on-device data with the data from the file.
6. Device Permissions
Cledger requests the following device permissions:
- READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android only): Required to allow you to select a backup file from your device storage for restore.
- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android only): Required to allow you to save a backup file to your chosen folder on your device.
These permissions are used only for the backup and restore features. They are not used to scan, access, or collect any other files on your device.
Cledger does NOT request or use: location / GPS, camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, or any permission beyond what is listed above.
7. Third-Party Services
Cledger does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising networks, crash reporting tools, or data collection SDKs. No third party receives any data from the App.
8. Children's Privacy
Cledger is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has entered personal information into the App, you can delete all data using the "Clear All Data" feature in Settings, or contact us at cledgerapp@gmail.com.
9. Your Rights and Data Control
Because all your data is stored locally on your device, you have full control at all times. You may at any time:
- View all your data within the App
- Edit or delete any individual entry
- Use the "Clear All Data" feature in Settings to permanently delete all data stored by the App on your device (work entries, tax entries, expenses, yearly targets, and personal profile)
- Uninstall the App, which removes the App's database from your device
If you have any questions about your data or wish to contact us regarding privacy, email us at: cledgerapp@gmail.com
10. Data Security
Because your data never leaves your device, the security of your information depends on the security of your phone. We recommend:
- Using a screen lock (PIN, password, or biometric) on your device
- Keeping your device's operating system up to date
- Storing backup files in a secure location
Hamben is not responsible for unauthorized access to your device or to backup files you have saved or shared.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
