Privacy Policy

Before using CashZipper you are required to acquaint yourself with the Terms of Use (“Terms”) and this Privacy Policy (“Policy”). The Policy forms an integral part of the Terms and all definitions and names shall have the respective meaning defined therein. By downloading, installing, using or otherwise accessing CashZipper, you are expressing your acceptance and willingness to be bound by the Terms, including the Policy. You may not use CashZipper if you don’t accept the Terms.

At CashZipper we take privacy and data security very seriously. We believe in the right of our customers to know which data is collected, for what purpose and also in the right of our customers to control this data and remove it if they so wish. In accordance with our beliefs, we make great effort to ensure the transparency of the methods with which we process your data and how we ensure it is kept secure and confidential.
We value your privacy and will never sell your personal information to anyone.
Types of data we collect and what is it used for:

Manually entered financial data
It’s kept so you have information about what, when, where and how much you have spent. Based on that we can also draw graphs and produce other statistics about your spending that you may find of interest. The user entered data can consist of: category, amount, date, description, currency, repeats, budgets, goals or any other data that the user entered.

Automatically imported financial data
This is the data that was automatically imported from a data source that the user authorised for importing. It can consist of a data from a financial institution or 3rd party application. The data imported is basically everything that you see on your bank statement. Based on this, CashZipper will try to automatically assign the type of data (expense, income, transaction), categorise and tag it to fit into your CashZipper system. Automatic importing can be deactivated at any time in the Import Settings.

Location data
CashZipper users can choose to record location data together with their expenses. This can be enabled or disabled when adding an expense in the CashZipper apps. CashZipper will record the most precise coordinates it can gather from the mobile or web app. Based on those coordinates it will suggest venues where the expense or income took place. Recording of the location and venue information is optional.

Email address
Your email is required for the functioning of CashZipper services, it is the unique ID of your account and the principal manner of communication with CashZipper. It is also necessary to reset your password in case you forget it.

First and last name
We ask you for your first and last name during the sign up, but we make it clear that it is optional. Your name will only be used so that we can address you nicely with notifications and when providing user support. You can use the free account anonymously if you like, with an email address that does not reveal your identity. When upgrading to CashZipper Pro we will need to know your name to verify the payment information.

Age range

We need your age to prepare age based reports and see how are you doing compared to others in your area. If you do not want us to provide this information, skip the step during sign-up or change it in the settings.

Social network connections
Users that choose to log in to CashZipper using their social network accounts or connect with them for posting will have those connections saved in CashZipper. With Facebook and Google Plus, we ask for your name, email address and ID. ID is simply a unique semi-random number assigned to your account on each social network so your account has a unique identifier. On Foursquare we only remember the random token generated by Foursquare to log you in.
In case you want to post a Burcashtip or a post for CashZipper Pro discount on any of the social networks, we will ask you for posting permissions. Any posting will be done only with your expressed permission. CashZipper will not post anything automatically without your confirmation of the content.

Passwords
To enable you to securely log in, we need to keep your password in our database. The passwords are kept in an encrypted form. We will never send you your password. In case you forget it, we will reset your password using the email address you provided, so you can then set a new password.

Local settings
CashZipper remembers the local settings for your account and devices, such as the time zone, date format, currency and language you use. This is remembered so that you always have a pleasant experience with the correct default settings.

Mobile device name and unique id
In order for all your financial data to be synced correctly across different devices, we need to retain some information about them. The name of the device (e.g. Dan’s iPhone 6), the version of the CashZipper mobile app it’s running, when it was last synced and the IP address of the device when the last sync was done. We also need a unique ID of your device. We use Advertising ID for Android and Apple IDFA. On some mobile platforms that is the IMEI number, or a more abstract unique device identifier, a randomly generated unique ID. This is used so we can differentiate between devices for data sync. You can remove a device at any, by contacting us.

Payment records of CashZipper Pro upgrades
We keep a list of your past purchases of CashZipper Pro, with the amount, date, ID and payment method of the purchase as well as the purchaser’s name and billing address. We do not keep your credit card number on CashZipper servers. That information is kept by the payment providers in-app (Apple, Google, Microsoft) or credit card (Adyen, Amazon, PayPal) purchases.
Analysis of anonymous aggregated data
We use anonymous and aggregated financial data gathered in the CashZipper services for statistical analysis and comparison. Data used in such analysis is first stripped of any personally identifiable information. Data in the analysis is aggregated, meaning that any information produced on the basis of such analysis will contain data from a great number of different sources so they cannot be traced to an individual.
Examples of how the anonymous aggregated statistics can be used:

Burcash tips
Burcash tips are available to all CashZipper users and offer entertaining content based on comparing one’s own spending to the averages of other CashZipper users. That way you can compare how much you spend e.g. on rent, compared to other people in your or other countries. There are endless automatically generated comparisons, which provide a entertaining insight into spending around the world. The only concrete number for an individual user that can be seen in Burcash tips is your own. No one else can access your individual data. Only completely anonymous, greatly aggregated and averaged data is available to other users.

Third party data analysis
We may provide anonymous and aggregated statistical data to third parties for commercial or scientific analysis. As with all such analysis, no personal information is exchanged. Third parties do not have direct access to CashZipper data. Upon contractual agreement, we can provide exports of anonymous aggregated data to third parties. Example uses of such data can be comparing the spending at a retail chain in a specific country and time period, or comparing the general macroeconomic outlook of a country to the official economic forecasts.

Deleting data – Right to be forgotten
Every user has the right and ability to control and delete their data. If you want to delete your data, go to Settings where you will find the link “Delete my account”. Once you confirm the deleting of your account, your data will be deleted and will no longer be kept on our servers. Because we keep daily backups to ensure data security, your data may still be present for a while in the backups, but it will also be deleted soon as it will be overwritten with newer backups. For legal and accounting reasons the data on past purchases of CashZipper will remain noted.

Correcting data
Personal and financial data that you have entered into CashZipper can be edited. Your personal data is editable in user account settings and the financial data is editable throughout the mobile and web apps. Some data such as the IMEI number of your phone is unmodifiable, but you may always choose to remove your device if you wish.
Data portability
We believe that everyone should be able to control their own data, so we try to enable as much data portability as possible. The data that you entered into CashZipper can be exported into a variety of formats. You can download you expense, income and transaction data in CSV, PDF and Excel formats.
