Privacy policy: Invoice Maker: Quotes & VAT

Effective 2026-10-14. Provider: Plain Apps, Residenzstr. 5, 80333 Munich, Germany, plainapps@tuta.com.

In short

Invoice Maker: Quotes & VAT does not collect, transmit or share personal data. Your invoices, clients, items, payments, business details and settings stay on your phone. The app has no account, no ads, no analytics and no crash reporting. The Android app has no internet permission, and the iPhone app makes no network requests.

What the app stores

The documents you create (invoices, quotes, receipts, cancellation invoices) with the client names, addresses, VAT ids, e-mail addresses, notes and amounts you type; your clients and items; payments; your business details (name, address, tax number, VAT id, bank name, IBAN, BIC, footer lines); your logo; the PDFs of issued documents; and your settings (language, layout, numbering, reminders), in the app's own storage on your phone. You are responsible for the data of your clients that you enter; the provider has no access to it. Deleting a document or client in the app deletes it from the app. "Delete all data" in Settings > Backup & data removes everything the app stored, including its PDFs and temporary files; uninstalling the app does the same. It cannot remove copies you made yourself or that your phone's backup holds (see below).

Permissions

On iPhone the app asks for notifications once, after you issue your first invoice with a due date. The logo comes from the system photo picker, which hands the app only the picture you choose; the app cannot see your other photos. On Android the app declares notifications (Android 13 and newer), restart (to re-arm reminders after a restart) and technical permissions of the Android background-work library (vibrate, wake lock, network state, foreground service), which the app does not use for any network or foreground activity. It does not use the camera, microphone, location, contacts or the internet.

Reminders

Reminders are notifications scheduled by your phone's own notification system. The app re-plans them in the background from time to time (at most about every 12 hours, when the phone allows it); nothing is sent to a server. You can switch reminders off in Settings > Reminders.

Files you share

"Share PDF", "E-mail", "Print", "Back up" and "Export CSV" pass a file or text to the app, printer or place you choose. "E-mail" hands the recipient address, subject, text and PDF to your own mail app; if no mail account exists, the text is copied to your clipboard and the share sheet opens. After you hand something over, that app's or provider's rules apply, not this policy. A backup file is readable JSON, a CSV file is plain text: neither is encrypted and both contain client data, so keep them somewhere safe. "Restore from a file" reads only the file you pick and changes nothing if the file is not a backup of this app.

Links

The link to this policy opens in your phone's browser; that site follows its own rules and the app sends nothing to it.

Phone backups

If you have iCloud Backup (iPhone) or Google backup (Android) switched on, your phone's own backup may include this app's data, including the invoice database and your logo. That is a feature of your phone and your Apple or Google account, not something the app sends; you control it in your phone's settings. On Android the PDFs are left out of the cloud backup (they are created again from the stored documents).

Children, ads, sharing of data

The app is not directed at children, contains no ads and shares no data with third parties.

Your rights

Because the app collects no personal data, there is nothing for the provider to access, correct or delete; uninstalling removes the app's data from your phone. Contact: plainapps@tuta.com. You may complain to your data-protection authority.

Not tax or legal advice

Notes, checks and calculations in the app are information with their sources, not tax or legal advice. The app does not create e-invoices (XRechnung, ZUGFeRD). Ask your tax adviser what applies to you.

Changes

Changes will be posted here and in the app.
