Privacy notice

Last updated 5 October 2026. Written to be read, not to be scrolled past.

The application

yourfinance stores your records in files on your own computer. There is no account, no server holding your data, and no telemetry: the application sends nothing on its own. Every feature that could make a network request (crypto prices, connectors, the phone link) is off by default, hidden until you switch it on, and shows you what it sends before it does. Diagnostics you export contain the version and counts only, never a ticker, a quantity or an amount.

One exception, in the Microsoft Store edition only: on a PC without Microsoft's WebView2 runtime, which draws the app's window (Windows 11 includes it; some Windows 10 PCs lack it), the app installs it from Microsoft the first time it opens. Microsoft receives what any download sends, such as your IP address, under its own privacy notice; nothing about you or your records is sent.

A licence key is verified on your computer against a public key built into the application. Nothing is sent to check it and there is no activation count.

The phone app

The yourfinance companion for iPhone and Android collects nothing. It has no account, no analytics and no advertising identifier, and it talks only to your own computer, over your Wi-Fi, sealed end to end; nothing reaches us. If you turn on Away from this Wi-Fi, your computer also leaves a sealed copy of your desk in a folder you sync to your phone, such as iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive: that provider stores the copy under its own privacy notice and cannot read it. The notebook, the kept copy of your desk and photos of confirmations are sealed on the phone under a key that never leaves it. Photos you send stay on your computer and are not in its backups; on the phone they are kept out of its backups too. Expiry reminders are local notifications, off until you turn them on. The App Store and Google Play handle downloads and updates under their own privacy notices.

This website

This site sets no cookies, shows no ads and loads no fonts from other companies. It is served by Cloudflare, which adds one script of its own to every page: Cloudflare Web Analytics. It counts page views and measures how fast pages load, without cookies; we see only aggregate statistics, which do not identify you.

Videos

The tutorial videos on the Learn page play in YouTube's player. Until you press play, nothing loads from YouTube: you see this site's own picture of the video. When you press play, the player loads from YouTube (Google) in its privacy-enhanced mode, from youtube-nocookie.com. YouTube then receives what any website receives from your browser, such as your IP address, and it may store cookies or similar data in your browser, under Google's privacy policy. If you would rather YouTube did not receive this, do not press play.

When you buy

Checkout is handled by Polar as merchant of record. They receive what a purchase needs (your e-mail, payment details, country for tax) under their own privacy notice. We receive the order id and your e-mail address so the key can be sent to you. The key contains a hash of your e-mail, not the address, and our order record keeps a hash of the key, not the key.

The launch list

The launch list is closed and takes no new addresses. Until 4 October 2026, people were added only after they confirmed through a link we e-mailed them. The addresses of those who confirmed are kept in a list at Resend, the e-mail service that also sends licence keys, under its own privacy notice, and are used only for news of releases. Every e-mail has an unsubscribe link; unsubscribing, or writing to support@useyourfinance.com, takes you off the list.

When you write to us

Feedback and support e-mail goes to a mailbox the founder reads. It is kept as long as the conversation is useful and deleted on request. In-app feedback drafts contain the version, platform, tier and switch states you can see before sending, never your records.

Your rights

You can ask what we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, and complain to your supervisory authority. Write to support@useyourfinance.com.
