Do I have to connect my bank account?
Do I have to connect my bank account?
No, and you could not if you wanted to. myClerkBook does not request, store
or process bank credentials, and it works with no data aggregator. There is
no connection to make and none to revoke.A statement file you export from your own bank and choose to upload is a
different thing. That is a file you are handing over, and it needs no
credential and no connection to anyone.What is myClerkBook
Do I need a card to sign up?
Do I need a card to sign up?
No. Creating an account asks for your name, a username, an email address
and a password. Choosing a plan is not part of sign-up and not part of
onboarding: it comes straight afterwards, and a plan or the Premium trial
is what opens the app.Creating your account

Plans and billing
What do the plans cost, and what is in each one?
What do the plans cost, and what is in each one?
Two plans, billed monthly or yearly, with yearly costing ten months rather
than twelve. Rather than repeat the figures in three places and risk one of
them going stale, they live on one page.Plans compared
Can I change plan part-way through a month?
Can I change plan part-way through a month?
Yes, from your billing settings, and the page below covers what happens to
what you have already paid and when the change takes effect.Upgrading and downgrading

Privacy and security
Will an AI model see my name?
Will an AI model see my name?
No. Before any document’s text reaches the reader it is stripped of
personal information, so the model sees the amounts, dates and descriptions
and not your name, your email address or an account number. Photographs and
PDFs are read as images and travel as they are. Nothing reaches your book
until you approve it.Our privacy architecture
Are my transactions used to train a model?
Are my transactions used to train a model?
No. They are your records. They are not training data and they are not sold.What we collect
If I delete my account, is it really gone?
If I delete my account, is it really gone?
Your account and everything in it goes immediately: no soft delete, no
archive, no retained copy. Analytics records sit with separate providers and
are erased on their schedule rather than in the same instant, and that
difference is stated rather than glossed over. Export first if you want your
records.Data retention and deletion
Platforms
Is there a desktop or a phone app?
Is there a desktop or a phone app?
myClerkBook runs in a browser, and it installs to a home screen, a dock or
a Start menu straight from the browser, opening in its own window with its
own icon.Web app
