Is my financial data safe in a money tracking app?
24 August 2026 · 4 min read
What to check before trusting an expense tracker with your finances — encryption, row-level security, device locks and data deletion.
What a finance app should never ask for
Rupaira never asks for your bank login, card number, CVV or OTP. It records the amounts you type in — nothing is pulled from your bank, so there is no banking credential to steal.
Encryption in transit and at rest
Every request between the app and the server travels over HTTPS/TLS. Data is stored on managed Postgres infrastructure with encryption at rest and regular backups.
Row-level security: the part most apps skip
Every table in Rupaira has row-level security enabled, and every policy is scoped to the signed-in user's ID. Even a direct query to the database cannot return another person's transactions.
Locks on your own device
You can require a fingerprint or Face ID unlock before the app opens, so a borrowed or lost phone does not expose your numbers.
Leaving should be easy
A trustworthy app lets you walk away. You can export your data and delete your account together with every row it holds, at any time, from settings.
