When you’re building out a retirement plan, the last thing you want to be worried about is whether or not someone might gain access to your personal information.
SafelySpend guards you against this in two very important ways.
The first is that we don’t actually ask you for any personally identifiable information when building your plan. There’s no field to enter your name or address, we don’t ask you for account numbers, we don’t even ask for your age — you simply tell the app how many years until retirement, and how many years you expect in retirement, and we take it from there.
It’s all just numbers, because that’s all it needs to be. If personal finance software is asking you for more than that, you should really make sure you’re clear on why that is before agreeing to move forward.
The second way we protect your privacy is by not collecting anything you enter into SafelySpend on our end. Despite the fact that it is all just numbers, we still take this extra step to ensure nothing you put in the app ever leaves your device.
This information never travels over the internet in any way, all the calculations are run within the app on your device, so there’s no server to be hacked or data moving through the internet to be intercepted.
An easy way to confirm this for yourself is to log into your account from another device. If you use your computer for SafelySpend, try logging in from your phone or vice versa. The app on your second device will have no memory of whatever information you had entered on the previous device, because that information was never captured by us from that device.
We have no window into what you are doing in SafelySpend, as it should be. We’re just happy to provide you with the means to build an effective retirement plan, and the peace of mind that comes with it.
