Your data

Where Money is a privacy product first and a budgeting product second.

Where your data is#

Everything — accounts, templates, transactions, categories, rules, rates, and the original CSVs you imported — lives in one SQLite database inside your browser's private storage for this site. The Database tab shows it as opfs://wheremoney/your-file.sqlite.

It is on your device only. No copy exists with the author, a host, or anyone else. No other website can read it. And it is a real SQLite file: export it and open it in any SQLite tool.

Careful

Nobody else has a copy, so nobody else can restore one. Clearing site data, or losing the device, destroys it permanently. See Database and the save file.

The one network call#

The app makes one kind of outbound request, only when you click a button that says so: exchange rates from api.nbp.pl ↗, the Polish central bank's public rates service.

The request is the whole URL, and this is all of it:

https://api.nbp.pl/api/exchangerates/rates/a/eur/2026-01-01/2026-03-31/?format=json

A currency code and two dates. No transaction, no amount, no account number, no identifier of you or your database — there is nothing in the request but the currency and the range.

Fetched rates are stored in your file, so once a period is covered, importing needs no network at all.

The call is also metered, because a free public service deserves it: a 10-second timeout per request, a hard cap refused before anything goes out, spacing between requests, a shared cooldown after every fetch, and two backed-off retries when the server asks for one. Details: Currencies.

No telemetry, no accounts#

No usage tracking, no error reporting, no sign-in, no cookies. The app never learns that you used it. It works offline.

The only things kept outside the database are small conveniences in this browser's local storage — which file you opened last, its size, when it was last saved, and what the save file looked like then — plus the browser's own remembered permission to write that file. File names and numbers, not data.

Bank names#

Bank names appear in the app and these docs to identify the shape of a file a bank exports, so it can be parsed. Where Money is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any bank. All trademarks remain their owners'.

The terms#

The page that governs is the app's own Privacy, disclaimer & terms. In short: not a bank, not affiliated with one, not financial advice, not a source of truth, provided as is, and the data is on your device so only you can lose it.

Where Money is independent software, not connected to any bank, and its figures are not a substitute for your bank's own statements. Privacy, disclaimer & terms.
