Data Policy
Last Updated: January 9, 2026
At FinShields, we understand that your financial data is highly sensitive and personal. This Data Policy outlines our commitment to data integrity, security, and your rights regarding the information you entrust to us.
- Data Encryption & Security
- All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS (Transport Layer Security). Sensitive financial information is further encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. We regularly undergo security audits and vulnerability assessments to ensure your data remains protected against unauthorized access.
- Access Control
- We implement strict internal access controls. Only authorized employees with a legitimate business need can access specific datasets, and all access is logged and monitored. We never sell your personal or financial data to third parties.
- Data Usage Transparency
- We use your data primarily to provide the core features of FinShields:
- Aggregating and categorizing your financial transactions.
- Generating personalized financial insights and recommendations.
- Providing emergency readiness and goal feasibility scores.
- Syncing your data across your registered devices.
- Data Syncing & Backups
- To ensure you never lose your financial history, we perform regular encrypted backups of our database. These backups are stored in geographically redundant locations to protect against data loss in the event of a regional disaster.
- Data Deletion & Portability
- You have full control over your data. At any time, you can request a complete export of your data in a machine-readable format. If you choose to close your account, you can request the permanent deletion of all your personal and financial data from our active systems and backups (subject to legal retention requirements).
- Contact Data Protection Officer
- If you have specific concerns about how your data is being handled, you can reach out to our Data Protection Officer at:support@finshields.xyz
