How we protect your data

  • We never see your bank login details. Bank connections are handled securely by Plaid, an FCA-authorised provider.
  • We store no names, email addresses, or personally identifiable information in our database.
  • All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and sensitive credentials are encrypted at rest using Google Cloud KMS.
  • Your data is hosted in Google Cloud's European data centres (europe-west1).
  • You can export all your data or delete your account at any time from Settings.
