Privacy policy

Your money data never meets a middleman.

Last updated: 29 June 2026

NotifSync for YNAB ("NotifSync", "the app", "we") is an independent Android companion app for YNAB. This policy explains, plainly, what data the app touches, where it stays, and the control you have over it. The short version: everything happens on your device, and nothing is sent to us or to any third party.

1. Why the app uses your data

NotifSync exists to save you from typing transactions into YNAB by hand. It is built for the common case where your bank can't connect to YNAB directly — leaving you to export CSV files or enter every transaction manually. NotifSync gives you an easier, automatic alternative.

To do that it reads the transaction notifications your banking apps already post, extracts the amount, payee and date using rules you define, and — only when you choose to — sends the resulting transaction to your own YNAB budget. We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, analytics, or any purpose other than this.

2. What data is involved, and how it is handled, stored, secured and kept

  • Notification content. When you grant notification access, NotifSync reads the text of incoming notifications so your rules can match them. This reading and parsing happens entirely on your device. Notification text is not transmitted off the device.
  • Parsed transactions & rules. Matched transactions and the rules you create are stored in a local database on your phone (Android Room / DataStore), within the app's private storage. They remain on the device until you delete them or uninstall the app.
  • Your YNAB credentials. The token used to talk to YNAB is stored in the app's private local storage on your device and is used solely to call the YNAB API on your behalf. It is never sent anywhere else.
  • Retention. Because all of this lives only on your device, there is no server-side copy and no fixed retention period imposed by us. Data persists for exactly as long as you keep it; clearing it in the app or uninstalling removes it.

3. We do not share your data with third parties

NotifSync has no backend servers, no analytics, and no user accounts. The only network connection the app makes is directly to the YNAB API, and only to send the transactions you explicitly choose to sync to your own YNAB account. We guarantee that your data is never knowingly or unknowingly passed to any other third party, sold, or shared. Your use of YNAB is governed by YNAB's own privacy policy.

4. Deleting your data

You are always in control of what NotifSync stores:

  • You can delete individual transactions and rules within the app at any time.
  • The app provides an in-app option to erase the data it has stored on your device.
  • Uninstalling the app removes all of its local data.

If you would like to request deletion of any data or have questions about this policy, contact us at privacy@notifsync.com. Because your data is stored only on your device, in most cases we hold nothing to delete on our side; even so, we commit to responding to and complying with any verified deletion request.

5. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
