Data sharing
PennyPal does not sell personal information. Information may be shared only when needed to deliver product functionality, such as household sharing features you choose to enable, or with service providers used to support the website or support workflows.
International data transfers
Some service providers used for website delivery, app distribution, support tooling or font delivery may process limited technical data outside the UK. Where this happens, PennyPal relies on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or contractual data protection commitments.
Data retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, manage support, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements.
Data security
PennyPal takes reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Users should avoid sending highly sensitive financial credentials by email.
Your choices
- You control what statements and transaction data you import
- You control whether household sharing is enabled
- You can request support or privacy help by emailing PennyPal
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection in relation to your personal data.

Children's privacy
PennyPal is not intended for children under 13 in the United Kingdom. If PennyPal becomes aware that personal data from a child under that age has been provided in error, reasonable steps will be taken to delete it.
Third-party content
The website currently uses third-party font delivery services, which may receive technical information such as IP address and browser metadata when pages load.
