Privacy policy

How Banking Converter handles personal data when you use Banking Converter. Written to be read, not skimmed.

Effective 2026-09-02. Controller: Banking Converter. Contact: [email protected].

What we collect and why

Account data
Email address, name if you provide one, password hash, and sign-in provider identifiers if you use Google sign-in. Needed to operate your account and to send transactional email (verification, password reset, conversion notices).
Uploaded documents
The PDF statements you upload and the transactions extracted from them, which may contain personal and financial data about you and third parties. Processed solely to provide the conversion you requested. Account numbers are stored masked.
Usage and billing data
Page counts, conversion metadata (status, formats, timings, confidence), plan and invoice history. Stripe processes payment details; we store Stripe identifiers, not card numbers.
Technical data
IP address, user agent and request logs for security, rate limiting and troubleshooting. Logs are redacted of document content.
Support correspondence
What you send us by email.

Legal basis

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies: performance of a contract (providing the service you signed up for), legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, service improvement using aggregate metrics), legal obligation (tax and accounting records for invoices), and consent where we ask for it (sharing a failed conversion with engineering).

Retention

Original PDFs
Deleted 24 hours after processing by default; uploads by visitors without an account after 60 minutes.
Exports and extracted transactions
Deleted 7 days after conversion, or 10 minutes after your first download when your organisation enables Purge on download.
Conversion history
Technical metadata (bank, page count, confidence, dates) until you delete the conversion, or your account, whichever is first. Delete now removes a conversion immediately.
Account and billing records
For the life of the account plus the period required for tax and accounting law.
Logs
Rotated on a short schedule; they do not contain document content.

Who else processes your data

Only the providers needed to run the service, listed with their role on the subprocessors page. We do not sell personal data, do not use your documents to train models, and do not share them with third parties except as listed there or when required by law.

Automated processing and AI

Extraction is deterministic software. If the optional AI-assisted column mapping is enabled in this deployment (stated on the subprocessors page), a small redacted sample of header and cell text may be sent to the AI provider to resolve ambiguous column meanings. Full documents, account numbers and balances are not sent. No decisions with legal effect are made about you.

Your rights

Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct, export, restrict or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Most of these are self-service: download exports, delete conversions, and delete your account from settings. For anything else, email [email protected]. You can also complain to your data protection authority.

Third-party data in statements

Statements contain names and amounts relating to other people (payees, employers, counterparties). By uploading a statement you confirm you are entitled to process it. If you act for clients, the data processing terms apply.

Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies: a session cookie once you sign in and a short-lived cookie that ties an anonymous upload to your browser until you create an account. Analytics, if enabled in this deployment, is listed on the subprocessors page. We do not use advertising cookies.

Changes

Material changes are announced on the changelog and, for account holders, by email.
