We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and all other applicable data protection legislation.

Financial data from connected bank accounts (Open Banking):
- Bank account names, balances, and transaction history — accessed via Finexer, an FCA-authorised open banking provider
- We access this data only with your explicit consent and authorisation through a secure redirect flow
- Open banking consent must be renewed every 90 days in accordance with regulatory requirements
Technical and device data:

- Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) token (for push notifications, only if you grant permission)
- App usage analytics (Firebase Analytics — aggregate usage patterns to improve the App)
Subscription data:

3. How We Use Your Data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
- To provide the App's core functionality: calculating and displaying your net worth, generating forecasts, tracking your wealth over time, and providing property and vehicle valuations
- To authenticate your account: verifying your email address and managing sign-in (including biometric authentication where enabled)
- To connect your bank accounts: facilitating Open Banking connections via Finexer to import your bank balances and transaction history
- To send push notifications: daily net worth updates (only if you opt in via the profile settings)
- To improve App stability: crash reports help us identify and fix bugs
- To manage your subscription: determining access to premium features
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not use your data for tracking purposes as defined by Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data on the following legal bases under UK GDPR:
- Contract (Article 6(1)(b)): processing necessary to provide you with the App's services, including net worth calculation, forecasting, and property/vehicle valuations
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Open Banking connections (Finexer) and push notifications — you can withdraw consent at any time by disconnecting your accounts or disabling notifications
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): crash reporting, App stability improvements, and aggregate analytics to improve the user experience
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services to operate the App:
- Firebase (Google): authentication, database (Firestore), cloud functions, file storage, crash reporting (Crashlytics), analytics, and push notifications (FCM). Data is stored on Google Cloud servers. Firebase Privacy Policy
- Finexer: FCA-authorised Open Banking provider used to securely connect your bank accounts. Finexer accesses your bank data on your behalf under their own regulatory obligations. All API calls are routed through our secure server-side proxy — your bank credentials are never processed by or stored in the App.
- RevenueCat: subscription management. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID and subscription status — no financial data. RevenueCat Privacy Policy
- Land Registry: we query the publicly available Land Registry Price Paid Data and House Price Index to estimate property valuations. No personal data is sent — queries use property addresses only.
- DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service: we query the DVLA API using your vehicle registration number to identify your vehicle's make, model, and year. No personal data beyond the registration number is transmitted.
- Apple App Store: handles all payment processing for subscriptions. We never see or store your payment details.
6. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore. We protect your data using:
- Firebase Authentication with email verification (secure sign-in)
- Firestore Security Rules (users can only access their own data — enforced server-side)
- Server-side proxy for all Open Banking API calls (API keys and credentials never stored on-device)
- Firebase Auth ID token verification on all Cloud Function endpoints (no unauthenticated access)
- HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
- Encryption at rest provided by Google Cloud
- Biometric authentication option (Face ID / Touch ID) — biometric data is processed entirely on-device by Apple's Secure Enclave and is never transmitted to us
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. Historical valuation data is retained to provide you with wealth-over-time tracking and chart history.
When you delete your account (via Profile > Delete Account in the App), all your data is permanently and irreversibly deleted, including:
- All assets, debts, and their complete valuation histories
- All connected bank account data and Open Banking consent records
- Your user profile, profile photo, and authentication record
- Your FCM notification token
Deletion is cascading, immediate, and irreversible. We do not retain any personal data after account deletion.

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights:
- Right of access (Article 15): request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Right to rectification (Article 16): request correction of inaccurate data
- Right to erasure (Article 17): request deletion of your data (available directly via the "Delete Account" feature in the App, or by contacting us)

Google operates under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) to ensure adequate protection of your data in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.
