Our starting principle
BudgetPetal should help you understand money without demanding unnecessary access to your financial life. We design for data minimization, understandable choices and respectful defaults.
What this website collects
This website does not operate a subscription form or ask for financial information. Standard hosting security and delivery logs may be processed to keep the website reliable and safe.
Manual-first budgeting
BudgetPetal does not require bank credentials for its core budgeting workflow. You intentionally record income and expenses, including cash transactions that automated feeds often miss.
Voice entry control
Voice entry is designed around direct money commands, not an AI conversation. It does not auto-save: you review the prepared transaction before anything is added.
Our commitments
- Explain data choices in plain language.
- Collect only what a feature genuinely needs.
- Avoid advertising profiles and dark patterns.
- Provide clear controls for data and preferences.
- Publish material privacy changes transparently.
