Privacy policy
The short version
- pondly. is a private beta run by its founder. Your data is used only to show you your own finances and answer your questions.
- Your data is kept in its own separate store, apart from every other member's. No other member can see it, and the founder's admin view shows only names, emails and dates.
- We never sell your data or use it for advertising.
- You can download everything we hold, or delete your account, at any time from More.
What we collect
- Account details you give us: name, email, and the passkey public key that lets your phone sign in. We never see your Face ID, fingerprint or any password.
- Financial information you enter or upload: account names, balances, holdings, loan details, pension and retirement details, your watchlist, and your conversations with Ask pondly. Please crop account numbers out of screenshots; pondly. doesn't need them.
- Things pondly. remembers: short notes of facts you tell it in conversation. You can view and delete each one under More → What pondly. remembers.
- Basic logs: sign-ins and key actions, to keep the service secure.
Who processes it
- Render hosts the app and its storage in the United States.
- Anthropic provides the AI behind Ask pondly., statement reading and memos. When you use these, the relevant data is sent to Anthropic's API to produce the answer. Anthropic does not use API data to train its models by default.
- Market data providers (Finnhub, Twelve Data, Stooq) receive only stock tickers, never your personal data.
UK and EU members
If you're in the UK, UK GDPR gives you rights to access, correct, delete and port your data, and to object to processing. Your data is stored in the US. Use Download my data and Delete my account in the app, or contact the founder for anything else.
Keeping it safe
Sign-in uses passkeys (Face ID / Touch ID); there are no passwords to steal. Connections are encrypted (HTTPS), stored credentials for linked accounts are encrypted, and each member's data is held separately.
Deleting your data
Deleting your account removes your store immediately. Backups held by our host roll off within 30 days.
