The strongest privacy guarantee is the one you cannot switch off, and the strongest of those is a capability that does not exist. myClerkBook is built that way on purpose.

The thing we will never build

There is no bank connection. No login, no aggregator, no read access to any account you hold, on any plan, at any point.
This is architectural rather than a setting. There is no facility to connect a bank, so there is nothing to enable, nothing to misconfigure and nothing to breach. A product that never asked for your banking credentials cannot leak them.
The line is drawn at the credential, not at the data. A statement you export from your own bank and choose to upload is yours to give. Reading it requires no login, no aggregator and no standing connection to anything. That sits inside the principle rather than at its edge.

Three layers

Privacy here is enforced in three independent layers, so that it never rests on a policy statement alone.
1

Architecture: the capability does not exist

No bank integration, no aggregator relationship, no credential storage. The first layer is the one that cannot fail, because there is nothing there to fail.
2

The database: every row is scoped to its owner

Access rules are enforced by the database itself rather than by application code remembering to filter. A query that forgot a condition returns nothing, not somebody else’s book.
3

Policy: what we commit to in writing

The Privacy Policy states what is collected, why, and for how long. It is the third layer because it is the weakest one: a promise is only as good as the two mechanisms under it.

Document parsing

When document parsing ships, document content is stripped of identifying information before it is sent anywhere for processing: names, email addresses and account numbers are removed first, and what the model receives is amounts, dates and descriptions without knowing whose they are.
No document is sent anywhere today, because parsing is not built yet. That sentence describes the design of a capability that is specified and not running. When it ships, this page will describe it in the present tense.

What this means in practice

You choose what is recorded

Every entry is one you made or one you confirmed. Nothing arrives on its own from an account we can see.

No session recording

We do not record your screen or replay your sessions.

Your IP is not stored

Product analytics runs without retaining it.

Deletion is real

No soft delete, no archived copy kept behind the scenes.
