Bearly Privacy Policy: How We Protect Your Financial Data
In an era where data breaches and financial fraud dominate headlines, choosing a budgeting app requires more than just feature comparison — it demands trust. At Bearly, we understand that your financial data is among the most sensitive information you possess. That's why our privacy policy isn't just a legal formality; it's a foundational commitment to every user who trusts us with their money management journey.
Our Core Privacy Principles
Bearly's approach to data protection is built on three non-negotiable principles:
What Data Does Bearly Collect?
To provide intelligent expense tracking, AI-driven insights, and team bill-splitting features, Bearly collects the following categories of information:
Importantly, Bearly never stores your bank login credentials directly. All account linking is facilitated through certified, PCI-compliant third-party providers that use tokenized access.
How We Protect Your Information
End-to-End Encryption
All financial data transmitted between your device and Bearly's servers is protected with AES-256 encryption — the same standard used by leading global financial institutions. Data at rest is equally encrypted, ensuring that even in the unlikely event of a server breach, your information remains unreadable.
AI-Powered Threat Detection
Bearly leverages its own AI capabilities not just for budgeting insights, but also for security. Our systems continuously monitor for unusual access patterns, suspicious login attempts, and potential vulnerabilities, triggering automatic protective measures in real time.
Regular Security Audits
We engage independent, third-party cybersecurity firms to conduct penetration testing and comprehensive security audits on a quarterly basis. The results directly inform our ongoing infrastructure improvements.
Data Sharing: What You Need to Know
Bearly operates under a strict no-sell policy. We never sell, rent, or trade your personal financial data to advertisers, data brokers, or any third parties for marketing purposes. Data sharing occurs only under these limited circumstances:
Your Rights and Controls

We comply with major global privacy regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable data protection frameworks, regardless of your geographic location.
Our Commitment Moving Forward

As Bearly continues to innovate with smarter AI budgeting tools and expanded financial features in 2026 and beyond, our dedication to protecting your data will only grow stronger. Every new feature undergoes a rigorous privacy impact assessment before reaching your device.
