Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 27, 2026

Oversikt (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a personal finance application that helps you understand your spending, manage your budget, and make informed financial decisions. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our application and services.

We take your privacy seriously. We built Oversikt with the principle that your financial data belongs to you, and we handle it with the care that responsibility demands.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

  • Account information: your name and email address when you create an Oversikt account
  • Budget preferences: budget amounts, category configurations, and financial goals you set within the app
  • Manual entries: any income, expense, or account information you enter manually

1.2 Information We Collect Through Plaid

When you choose to connect a bank account, we use Plaid, Inc. (“Plaid”) to securely access your financial data. Through Plaid, we receive:

  • Account information: account name, type (checking, savings, credit card), and current balance
  • Transaction data: transaction date, amount, merchant name, and category
  • Recurring transaction patterns: information about recurring charges and deposits identified by Plaid

Important: We never receive, see, or store your bank login credentials. Plaid handles all direct authentication with your financial institution. We receive only read-only access to account and transaction data.

1.3 Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage data: how you interact with the app (pages visited, features used) to improve the product
  • Device information: browser type and operating system for compatibility and troubleshooting

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

3.1 Plaid

We use Plaid to connect to your financial institutions. When you connect an account, Plaid's own privacy policy governs how they handle your bank credentials and the data they access on our behalf. You can review Plaid's privacy policy.

3.2 Infrastructure Providers

Your data is processed and stored using third-party infrastructure providers (such as our hosting provider and database service). These providers process data solely on our behalf, under contract, and do not have independent rights to use your data.

3.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, legal process, or government request, or if necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Oversikt, our users, or the public.

4. Data Storage and Security

  • All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher (HTTPS on all connections)
  • All data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption on our managed database infrastructure
  • API keys and secrets are stored as encrypted environment variables, never in source code
  • Database access is restricted to application-level connections with no public endpoint
  • We use multi-factor authentication on all systems that store or process your data
  • We maintain an automated test suite and follow secure development practices

For more detail, see our Information Security Policy and Access Controls Policy, available upon request.

5. Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as you maintain an active Oversikt account. Specifically:

  • Transaction data: retained for as long as your account is active, to power budgeting and trend analysis
  • Budget settings and preferences: retained for as long as your account is active
  • Category learning data: retained for as long as your account is active to improve categorization accuracy

6.1 Access Your Data

You can view all data Oversikt holds about you directly within the application, including all transactions, account balances, and budget settings.

6.2 Disconnect Accounts

You can disconnect any linked bank account at any time from within the app. Disconnecting revokes Plaid's access token immediately and stops all future data syncing from that account.

6.3 Delete Your Account

You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time. Upon deletion:

  • All Plaid access tokens are revoked immediately
  • All your personal data (transactions, balances, budgets, preferences, category mappings) is permanently deleted within 30 days

To request account deletion, contact us at the email address listed in Section 10.

6.4 Export Your Data

You can export your transaction and budget data from within the application in standard formats (CSV).

6.5 Correct Your Data

You can update your account information, recategorize transactions, and modify budget settings at any time within the app.
