Privacy and security
Private and safe, like it should be
We treat your personal and financial data the way we want ours treated: carefully, transparently, and with respect.
This page summarizes our approach to privacy and security in plain language. For legal details, see our Privacy Policy.

Access
You control your data
You can export your transactions, categories, and notes at any time from Settings in the Greenback app.
Greenback team members only access your account data when it is necessary to deliver support or resolve a specific issue that you request. For product improvement and operations, we rely on aggregated and anonymized information.
Security
Encryption and secure connections
We use strong encryption (for example, 256‑bit at rest) and TLS for data in transit. Your information is protected while stored and while it moves between your device and our servers.
We never see or store your bank login credentials. Connections to financial institutions are made via trusted aggregators such as Plaid or Finicity, or directly via OAuth where available. OAuth credentials are never visible to us.
If you choose to forward emails (for example, Venmo receipts), Greenback processes only those messages. You can stop forwarding anytime or restrict what you send.
Retention
Delete your account, delete your data
You can delete your Greenback account anytime from Settings or by contacting support@greenbackapp.com. When you delete your account, we remove your linked financial data and account data from our systems, except where we must retain limited information to comply with law, resolve disputes, protect Greenback and our users, or enforce agreements. Where no obligations apply, data is removed from active systems and backups within 60 days.
Deleting your Greenback account does not cancel an App Store or Play Store subscription. Manage your subscription from your device settings before or after account deletion.
Infrastructure
Modern, compliant cloud foundation
Greenback runs on reputable cloud infrastructure (for example, Google Cloud Platform) used by leading financial companies. The cloud provider maintains industry‑standard security, privacy, and compliance controls such as ISO/IEC 27001/27017/27018, SOC 1/2/3, PCI DSS, and CSA STAR. These certifications apply to the cloud platform itself.
Operationally, we use multi‑factor authentication (MFA) for internal systems and manage company devices with security controls. We also conduct regular application penetration testing and address findings as needed.
Privacy
What you do in Greenback stays in Greenback
Our focus is building tools that help you improve your finances. We do not sell your personal data to third parties for advertising.
We prioritize clarity and control, so you always understand how your data is used. We keep this page current and will notify you if our practices significantly change. For questions, reach us at support@greenbackapp.com.
