Privacy Policy
StrideFi helps you track your net worth, spending, and investments. This policy explains what information StrideFi processes, why we use it, and the choices you have.
Where your financial data lives
Accounts, balances, transactions, budgets, positions, and net-worth history are stored on your phone. If you enable iCloud, this information also syncs through your iCloud account so it is available on your other devices. Apple handles iCloud data under Apple's Privacy Policy.
StrideFi does not operate a financial database that stores your balances, positions, or transactions.
Information we handle
The information StrideFi handles depends on the features you use. It may include:
- Account and profile information, such as your name, email address, account identifier, and preferences.
- Financial information you add or choose to connect, such as accounts, balances, positions, and transactions.
- Technical and usage information used to operate, protect, and improve StrideFi, including optional analytics and diagnostics.
- Information you send us, such as waitlist details, support requests, and feedback.
We use this information to provide features you request, maintain security, improve StrideFi, respond to you, honor your communication choices, and meet legal obligations.
Connecting an institution with Plaid
Connecting a bank or brokerage is optional. When you connect, you sign in through Plaid or your institution—not through StrideFi. StrideFi never receives your login details.
Plaid processes information for the accounts you choose and sends it to the app through a service we operate. The service does not keep a copy of your balances, positions, or transactions. We retain limited connection information needed to keep the institution syncing.
Plaid handles information under its End User Privacy Policy and End User Services Agreement. You can disconnect an institution from the app at any time.
Signing in with Apple
If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple may provide StrideFi with an account identifier and the profile information you choose to share. Apple may let you share an address that forwards messages to you instead of your personal email. We use this information to manage your StrideFi account and honor your communication choices.
You can use Demo mode without signing in or connecting an institution.
Analytics
Optional analytics help us understand which features are useful and where the app needs improvement. Analytics are off until you turn them on, and you can change this choice in Settings. Analytics are anonymized and cannot include your financial data or account details.
How we use and share information
We never sell your personal information or share your financial data for advertising or marketing. We do not use your information for targeted advertising.
We use service providers to operate StrideFi and the features you choose. Examples include:
- Apple for iCloud account sync, Sign in with Apple, notifications, subscriptions, and Apple diagnostics.
- Plaid for connecting institutions and syncing account data.
- TelemetryDeck for optional, anonymized analytics.
- Cloudflare for the website and supporting services.
- Market-data services for quotes and company information.
Service providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. The providers StrideFi uses may change as the app evolves.
Retention and deletion
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably needed to provide StrideFi, protect the service, and meet legal obligations. How long we keep it depends on what it is and why we use it.
Erase device data removes synced and manually added financial data from the your device and its iCloud copy. You can erase device data from Settings.
Delete Account removes your entire StrideFi account, disconnects your institutions, and erases financial data from your device and its iCloud copy. You can delete your account from Settings. This cannot be undone.
You can disconnect an institution or remove an account at any time without deleting everything else.
Security
We encrypt data in transit, encrypt stored institution-connection tokens, and use Apple security features for sensitive values. You can also protect the app with Face ID. No system is completely secure, so we limit the financial information our systems retain.
Who can use StrideFi
StrideFi is intended for people 18 and over. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
Joining the waitlist
If you join the beta waitlist, we store your email address and signup time. Cloudflare processes the request as our website provider. We use your email for StrideFi beta updates. You can ask us to delete your waitlist entry by emailing support@stridefi.net.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as StrideFi, its features, or its service providers change. We will post the updated policy here with a new effective date.
