Privacy and security

Your financial data lives on your phone and in your iCloud

Stridefly saves your accounts, balances, transactions, budgets and positions on your phone and in your own iCloud account. We do not run a financial database that stores them. This page says exactly what that means, including the parts that pass through a service we operate.

We never sell your personal information

We never sell your personal information, and we don't share your financial data for advertising or marketing. We don't use your information for targeted advertising.

Privacy settings

Connecting a bank is optional, and your login never reaches us

When you connect a bank or brokerage, you sign in through Plaid or your institution, and Stridefly never receives your login details. Your financial data passes through a service we operate on its way to your phone. That service does not keep copies of your balances, positions or transactions. It keeps encrypted connection credentials and cursors, plus limited identity and device information needed to operate connections and notifications.

Connecting requires Sign in with Apple. You can disconnect an institution at any time.

Analytics are off until you turn them on

Optional analytics help us see which features are useful. They are off until you say yes. The app may ask after you connect an institution or import transactions, never during setup, and you can change your choice in Settings. They are anonymized and cannot include your financial data or account details.

Controls on your phone

Lock the app with Face ID, use the privacy screen, and hide balances. Export your data as JSON whenever you like.

You can erase your data or delete your account

Erase device data removes financial data from your phone and its iCloud copy. Delete Account removes your Stridefly account, disconnects your institutions and erases financial data from your phone and iCloud copy. Delete Account cannot be undone.

Try it without connecting anything

Demo mode shows sample households with no sign-in and no connection. See the full privacy policy.

Questions about privacy

Is my financial data safe in Stridefly?

It is saved on your phone and in your iCloud, protected by Face ID if you turn it on. We encrypt data in transit and stored connection tokens. No system is completely secure, which is why we limit what our systems retain.

Does Stridefly sell my data?

No. We never sell your personal information.

Does Stridefly see my bank password?

No. You sign in through Plaid or your institution.

Does my data touch your servers?

Yes, when you connect a bank or brokerage. Your financial data passes through a service we operate on its way to your phone. That service does not keep copies of your balances, positions or transactions. It keeps encrypted connection credentials and cursors, plus limited identity and device information needed to operate connections and notifications.

Can I delete my data?

Yes. Erase device data removes your financial data from your phone and its iCloud copy. Delete Account also disconnects your institutions and removes your Stridefly account. Both are in Settings, and Delete Account cannot be undone. To remove a waitlist entry, email [email protected].
