Coin+ has no account and no sign-up. We never collect your name, email address, phone number or postal address, and your watchlist stays on your own device.
The free version is supported by ads, which means some data does leave your device. This page explains exactly what, to whom, and how to turn off what you can.
No account. Nothing in Coin+ asks who you are.
Your watchlist is yours. Stored on your device and, if you're signed in to iCloud, synced through your own private iCloud. We cannot read it.
AI summaries never leave your phone. They're generated by Apple's on-device model.
Ads use an advertising identifier — but only if you allow it when iOS asks. Say no and ads still work, just less relevant.
Anonymous usage analytics can be switched off in Settings → Privacy & Legal.
A Coin+News membership removes ads entirely.
Your watchlist, display currency, price alerts, which articles you've read, and your free-article count are stored on your device. If you're signed in to iCloud, the watchlist, settings and alerts sync through your own private iCloud database — that is held by Apple under your Apple Account, and we have no access to it whatsoever.
Deleting the app removes everything stored on the device. Data synced to your iCloud is managed through your Apple Account settings, not by us.
No name, email address, phone number, postal address, contacts, photos, or precise location. Coin+ does not ask for location permission and does not use it. We never see your payment details.
We use TelemetryDeck to understand how the app is used so we know what to improve. It is privacy-focused — it does not store IP addresses — but we want to be specific about what is sent, because it is more than just "which screens were opened".
Events include:
These are tied to a random, per-installation identifier — not to you. There is no name, email or account attached, and we cannot use it to contact or identify you. We do not send your search terms, your alert price thresholds, or the text of any article.
You can turn this off. Open Coin+ → Settings → Privacy & Legal → Share anonymous usage data. Switching it off stops transmission immediately and completely. Nothing else in the app changes.
The free version of Coin+ shows ads in the news feed, supplied by Google AdMob. Coin+News members see no ads at all, and no ad requests are made for them.
The first time it's relevant, iOS will ask whether Coin+ may track your activity across other companies' apps and websites. This is Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, and your answer is entirely up to you:
You can change your answer at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
In the EEA and the UK, we use Google's User Messaging Platform to collect the additional consent those regions require before any personalised ad is served.
Google acts as an independent controller of the ad data it collects. See how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Where your device supports it, news briefings are generated entirely on your device using Apple's on-device model. Article text is processed locally and is never sent to us or to any AI service. Every briefing credits and links to the original publisher.
On-device generation requires a recent iOS version and compatible hardware. Where it isn't available, Coin+ simply shows the publisher's own summary instead, and nothing is generated.
To show prices and news, the app requests data from third parties. As with any internet request, those services receive your device's IP address, and they handle it under their own privacy policies. We do not attach your identity to any of these requests — we don't have one.
| Service | What it's for | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| CoinGecko | Crypto prices, charts, search | The crypto assets on your watchlist, and anything you type into search |
| Finnhub | Stock prices and company news | The stock symbols on your watchlist, and anything you type into search |
| Stooq | Backup market data | The symbols being priced |
| News publishers | Headlines, article text and images | Standard web requests. Opening an article loads the publisher's own page, where their cookies and trackers apply — we can't control that |
| Google AdMob | Ads (free version only) | See Advertising |
| TelemetryDeck | Anonymous usage analytics | See Analytics |
| Apple | iCloud sync, subscriptions, the App Store | Handled by Apple under your Apple Account |
To show prices for your watchlist, we necessarily tell the price providers which assets you follow. There is no way to fetch a price without naming the asset. No identifier accompanies those requests.
Price alerts are local notifications created on your device. There is no push server and no device token is registered or transmitted. Permission is only requested when you create your first alert, and you can revoke it in iOS Settings at any time.
Coin+News subscriptions are processed by Apple. We never receive your payment details — only whether an active subscription exists, so the app can unlock features and hide ads.
Cached prices, articles and images are stored temporarily on your device and expire automatically. Your watchlist, alerts and settings stay until you remove them or delete the app. Analytics events are retained by TelemetryDeck under their retention policy; because they carry no identifier of ours, we cannot single out or retrieve an individual person's events.
Coin+ is a financial information tool intended for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Because there is no account, most of your data never reaches us in a form we could look up. In practice:
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of personal information, and to lodge a complaint with your local regulator. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles, and — for users in the EEA and UK — the GDPR. If you're in California, note that allowing app tracking permits personalised advertising, which some privacy laws treat as "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising; declining the tracking prompt opts you out.
Some of the services above process data outside Australia. To exercise any right, or if you're unsure what applies to you, email us and we'll help.
We may update this policy. Material changes will be noted here with a new date at the top of the page.
We'll respond as quickly as possible.
