Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 25, 2026. This is a placeholder draft pending legal review — the spirit will hold, but the letter may change.

What we collect

• Account info — your email address and a unique account identifier from our authentication provider.
• Budget data — the categories, amounts, and entries you put into RootBudget.
• Basic usage telemetry — page views and error logs, used to keep the app working.

What we don't collect

• We don't ask for or store your bank credentials.
• We don't sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
• We don't track you across other sites for ad targeting.

How your data is stored

Your data lives in a managed database hosted on AWS in the US. Backups are encrypted. Only systems and operators that need access have it.

Cookies & analytics

RootBudget uses Google Tag Manager and basic analytics to understand how the site is used in aggregate. You can block these with any standard tracker-blocker without affecting core functionality.

Your rights

You can request a copy of your data or ask us to delete it at any time. Email myrootbudget@gmail.com and we'll respond within a reasonable window.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we'll post a notice in the app and update the date at the top of this page.
