Privacy Policy
How Cashnova handles the profile you build and the claims you file.
Last updated: July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the Cashnova application ("the app") handles information when you use it. Cashnova helps you find open class-action settlements, data-breach cases, and unclaimed-funds programs that may apply to you. To do that, the app takes profile information from you and matches it against publicly available case data. This Policy describes what that means for your data in practice.
1. Information We Collect
Profile Information
To match you against open cases, the app collects information you choose to enter — for example, companies whose services you've used, employers you've worked for, dates or approximate periods relevant to a case, and other eligibility fields specific to a case type. Only fields you fill are used. You can edit or clear this information at any time in the app.
Claim Activity
The app records which cases you have marked as saved, filed, or dismissed, so it can show you deadlines, track submissions, and avoid showing you the same case twice. This activity data lives locally on your device and, if you have enabled iCloud sync, in your own iCloud container.
Notifications
To alert you about new matches and upcoming deadlines, the app schedules local notifications on your device. No push data is routed through our servers.
Diagnostics
The app may collect anonymous crash reports and basic diagnostic data (device model, operating system version, app version, non-identifying error traces) to help fix bugs and improve stability. This data is not linked to your identity.
Support Requests
If you contact support, we receive only what you choose to share — typically your email address and the contents of your message.
2. How We Use Information
- To match your profile against open cases and surface those matches inside the app
- To show you eligibility notes, payout ranges, and deadline countdowns
- To notify you when a case relevant to you opens or is about to close
- To maintain stability, diagnose crashes, and improve matching quality
- To respond to support requests you send us
- To comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or share your profile with anyone.
3. When You File a Claim
When you choose to file a claim, the actual submission goes to the official administrator of that case — a court-appointed claims administrator, a data-breach settlement processor, an unclaimed-funds agency, or the equivalent. That administrator applies its own privacy policy, its own eligibility checks, and its own communication policy to your submission. Cashnova does not act as your legal representative and does not decide whether your claim is approved.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share personal data. A small number of trusted third-party services may be used solely for crash reporting and basic analytics; none of these services receive your profile fields or claim activity.
Information you voluntarily submit through a claim goes only to that claim's administrator, using the information you have chosen to include in the submission.
5. Data Storage, Security, and Retention
- Your profile and claim activity are stored locally on your device. Application data is protected by iOS file protection at rest.
- Editing or clearing your profile inside the app removes those values from local storage.
- Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored Cashnova data. Copies you may have kept in iCloud must be removed separately from your Apple ID storage settings.
- Diagnostic data is retained only for as long as needed to investigate issues and is not linked to you personally.
6. Children's Privacy
The app is rated 4+ on the App Store, meaning its content is suitable for all ages. It is, however, designed and intended for adults submitting claims on their own behalf and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child's personal information has been collected without appropriate consent, we will delete it promptly.
7. Your Rights
Because your profile is stored locally, you can access, correct, export, or delete any field directly inside the app at any time. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also have the right to access, correct, or delete data we might otherwise hold about you (for example, from support correspondence), and to withdraw consent where applicable. Requests concerning claims you have already filed with a settlement administrator must be made to that administrator directly.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app, our practices, or applicable law. Material changes will be surfaced in the app or on this page; continued use of the app after an update indicates acceptance of the revised Policy.
