Our Privacy Promise

Mina holds some of the most personal information there is — what you earn, what you owe, and where every dollar goes. Here is exactly what we do, and don’t do, with it. Plainly, and without the fine print.

Never sold, rented, or shared

Your financial data is never sold, rented, or shared with data brokers — ever. There are no ads and no advertisers. Mina is paid for one honest way: a small subscription. You're the customer, never the product.

No trackers — and your browser enforces it

Mina ships with zero third-party analytics, trackers, or telemetry. In production the app sends a Content-Security-Policy that instructs your own browser to block any connection to anywhere but Mina itself. You can confirm it: open your browser’s developer tools, watch the Network tab, and see that nothing leaves for a third party.

We don't train AI on your data

Your accounts, transactions, and income are never used to train machine-learning models — ours or anyone else’s.

We don't look at your money

Administrators cannot browse your balances, transactions, or income. The internal admin console shows only counts (how many envelopes or transactions exist), never a single dollar amount.

Yours to take, yours to erase

Download everything Mina holds for your household at any time as a single JSON file. And when you delete your account, your data is truly deleted — if you’re the only member of your household, all of its financial records go with it, and any lingering mention of you in internal logs is scrubbed.

Third parties only when you choose

The one exception to “no third parties” is a bank connection you opt into. Planned support for automatic transaction import (via Plaid) is optional: choose it and your bank credentials go straight to Plaid and never touch Mina’s servers; decline it and you can enter or import transactions yourself with no third party involved at all. If you connect a bank, Plaid receives only what’s needed to import your transactions.

Payments stay with Stripe

Subscription payments are processed by Stripe, on Stripe’s own pages — your card details never touch Mina’s servers, and Mina stores no payment information. The only things shared with Stripe are what billing needs: your email address and a reference to your household. Your envelopes, transactions, balances, and income never leave Mina — no budgeting data ever goes to Stripe.
