Your data should have a clear job.

Last updated: July 26, 2026

Information you provide

• Account details such as email address, display name, and sign-in provider.
• Profile and planning information you choose to save, including income, pay frequency, goals, risk comfort, calculator defaults, scenarios, reviews, debt plans, home plans, progress, badges, and learning-path activity.
• Questions and recent conversation context sent to the Money in Reach Coach.
• Contact, feedback, or feature-interest submissions.

Connected financial accounts

Connected accounts are optional and available only after you choose to use Plaid Link. Money in Reach does not receive your bank login credentials. To operate the connected dashboard, the service may store a Plaid item identifier, an encrypted access token, institution and account metadata, balances, transaction summaries and normalized transaction records, recurring-payment summaries, synchronization status, and a transaction cursor. Connected data is isolated by your authenticated user ID.

Use the dashboard’s Disconnect control to ask Plaid to remove the connection and delete the encrypted token, cached accounts, transactions, recurring summaries, and connection status stored by Money in Reach.

Billing information

Money in Reach uses Stripe Checkout and the Stripe Customer Portal for Plus subscriptions. Payment-card details are entered with Stripe and are not stored by this application. Money in Reach stores the Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, subscription status, renewal-period information, and the user ID and email needed to provide access.

Information collected automatically

• Google Analytics events such as page views, article reads, calculator use, sign-in, checkout, Coach use, progress, and badge activity.
• Technical request information used by Cloudflare to deliver and protect the site, such as IP-derived request data, browser information, timestamps, and security signals.
• Local storage used for signed-in state, entitlement caching, preferences, drafts, and offline-friendly progress.

How information is used

• Operate authentication, cloud synchronization, Plus access, connected-account features, and the billing portal.
• Calculate and display the planning information you request.
• Personalize educational Coach context from the profile and aggregate dashboard information you choose to provide.
• Maintain security, prevent abuse, diagnose errors, and understand which educational features are useful.
• Respond to a message or feature-interest submission when the contact service is configured.

Service providers

Money in Reach relies on Cloudflare for hosting, security, storage, and optional AI fallback; Firebase for authentication and Firestore synchronization; Stripe for subscriptions; Plaid for connected-account access; Google Analytics for product analytics; and 1min AI for the Coach when configured. Each provider processes data under its own terms and privacy practices.

Coach privacy

The Coach receives the question, recent conversation context, selected profile fields, and aggregate connected-dashboard values needed to answer. Raw transaction lists are not deliberately added to Coach prompts. Do not enter Social Security numbers, account or routing numbers, payment-card details, passwords, tax identifiers, or other private credentials. Automated filtering may block obvious sensitive entries but cannot identify every case.

Retention and deletion

Saved account and planning data remains available until you delete it, disconnect the related service, or ask that it be deleted, subject to technical, fraud-prevention, billing, and legal retention needs. Disconnecting Plaid deletes the connected data cached by Money in Reach. Stripe and other providers may retain records under their own obligations.

To request account or saved-data deletion, use the contact page. You may be asked to verify control of the account. Cancel a paid subscription in the Stripe billing portal before requesting account deletion so that renewal instructions remain clear.

Security

Money in Reach uses authenticated access, owner-scoped Firestore rules, encrypted Plaid tokens, signed webhooks, input limits, and secure transport. No online system can guarantee absolute security. Protect your sign-in credentials and sign out on shared devices.

Your choices

You can use public education and calculators without an account, decline to connect a financial institution, disconnect an existing connection, manage or cancel Plus through the billing portal, and request access, correction, or deletion through the contact page. Browser settings and privacy tools may also limit analytics or local storage.

Children

Money in Reach is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly request accounts from them.

Policy changes
