Why Manual Expense Tracking is Better for Privacy
In an age where data breaches and privacy concerns are increasingly common, many people are reconsidering how they manage their financial information. Manual expense tracking offers a compelling alternative to automatic bank synchronization.
The Privacy Risks of Automatic Bank Synchronization
When you connect your bank account to an expense tracking app, you're sharing:
- •Transaction history - Every purchase you make becomes visible to the service
- •Account balances - Your financial status is continuously monitored
- •Banking credentials - Even if encrypted, your login information passes through third-party servers
