This page describes what data we process, on what legal basis, and what your rights are. Without legal jargon where it is not needed.

The Monetoir promise

In short

  • ·No data selling — not today, not ever.
  • ·No Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no tracking cookies.
  • ·No bank connection — you stay in control.
  • ·Hosted on Dutch soil (Amsterdam, EU).
  • ·Passwords are encrypted — unreadable, even to the administrator.
Who is responsible

Monetoir is operated as a sole proprietorship. The data controller under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is:

  • Company name: Monetoir (sole proprietorship)
  • Chamber of Commerce number: 88310175
  • Contact: [email protected]
  • USt-IdNr.: NL004580462B42
  • Place of business: The Netherlands
Purpose and legal basis

Monetoir processes personal data solely to provide the service: a personal financial overview. The legal basis is GDPR Article 6(1)(b) — performance of the contract that arises when you create an account and use the service. For the AI feature we process your question and a limited dataset to answer it. Same legal basis. No automated decision-making with legal effects takes place.

What data we collect

Monetoir collects only data needed to operate the app. We distinguish two categories:

Account data (via Clerk)

  • Your email address — for sign-in and account recovery
  • Your password — encrypted at Clerk, not readable by us
  • Optional: first and last name if you provide them
  • Which beta code you used and when you activated your account

App data (on our server)

  • Your income — amounts, names, frequency (monthly, specific months)
  • Your fixed expenses — names, amounts, end dates, categories
  • Your variable expenses per month
  • Your savings goals (envelopes) with balances and target amounts
  • Any custom categories you've created
  • Contract and subscription end dates — used solely to calculate budget forecasts and inform you of upcoming financial freedom
Sub-processors

Monetoir uses a number of external services. Data processing agreements are in place with all of these parties in compliance with GDPR.

For sub-processors outside the EU (Clerk, Cloudflare), we apply the highest privacy standards: Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), data minimisation, and EU-region routing where possible. We share only the strictly necessary data to deliver the service.

Your rights under the GDPR

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have a number of rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access: You may request which data we process about you
  • Right to rectification: You may have incorrect data corrected
  • Right to erasure: You may have all personal data erased ('the right to be forgotten'). Erasure is performed within 30 days.
  • Right to data portability: You may obtain your data in a common format (JSON or CSV) to take with you
  • Right to object: You may object to specific processing of your data

Send an email to [email protected] to exercise any of these rights. We respond within 30 days, in compliance with GDPR.

How long we keep data

Account data and app data are retained as long as you have an active account. Upon account deletion, all personal data is removed from our active systems within 30 days. Backups are permanently deleted within 90 days after account deletion. Anonymized, aggregated data (e.g. 'number of active users per month') may be retained longer for statistical purposes, but is no longer traceable to individuals.

Cookies

Monetoir uses minimal, functional cookies. There are two types:

  • Clerk session cookies — only active when you're signed in, to remember your session
  • NEXT_LOCALE — remembers your chosen language, also for logged-out visitors

No tracking cookies, no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies. Consent for strictly necessary cookies is not legally required; we deliberately use no cookies that would require it.

Data breach procedure

In case of a data breach that poses a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we report it to the Dutch Data Protection Authority within 72 hours. You will be personally informed via your registered email address with information about what happened, which data is affected, and what measures we are taking.

  • ·No advertisements — not today, not ever
  • ·No selling or sharing of your data with third parties for commercial purposes
