Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

1. Introduction

At StatementPro, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal and financial information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and safeguard your data when you use our bank statement conversion service.

Important: By using our service, you acknowledge that we process highly sensitive financial data. While we implement strong security measures, no system is 100% secure. You use our service at your own discretion regarding data security and privacy.

This policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable data protection laws. If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have additional rights as detailed in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

  • Name and email address for account creation
  • Password (encrypted and securely stored)
  • Account preferences and settings

2.2 Document Data

  • Bank statement files (PDF format) that you upload
  • Extracted transaction data from your statements
  • Processing metadata (file size, processing time, etc.)

2.3 Usage Information

  • Service usage patterns and features used
  • Technical information (browser type, IP address, device information)
  • Error logs and performance data

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and maintain our bank statement conversion service
  • Process your uploaded documents and extract transaction data
  • Authenticate your identity and secure your account
  • Communicate with you about your account and service updates
  • Improve our service quality and develop new features
  • Ensure security and prevent fraud or abuse
  • Comply with legal obligations and respond to legal requests

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

  • Contract Performance (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): Processing bank statements to provide conversion services
  • Legitimate Interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): Service improvement, security, fraud prevention, and analytics
  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): Marketing communications and optional features (where applicable)
  • Legal Obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): Compliance with applicable laws and regulations

For sensitive financial data processing, we rely on your explicit consent under Article 9 of the GDPR, which you provide when uploading documents for processing.

5. Data Processing and Storage

5.1 Temporary Processing

✅ Immediate Processing & Deletion

Your bank statement files are processed immediately upon upload in our secure environment. We operate on a "just-in-time" conversion model with minimal data retention.

  • • Files processed immediately and deleted within 24-48 hours
  • • No permanent storage of original documents or transaction data
  • • Re-upload anytime for additional export formats
  • • Only metadata (processing stats) retained for service improvement

Security Notice: While we implement industry-standard security measures, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Data breaches, system failures, or unauthorized access may occur despite our best efforts. Our minimal retention policy significantly reduces exposure risk compared to services that store documents long-term.

5.2 Data Encryption and Security

  • All data encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 or higher
  • Data encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption
  • Multi-factor authentication for administrative access
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Access controls and employee background checks
  • Automated monitoring for suspicious activity

5.3 Data Retention and Deletion Policy

🔒 Just-in-Time Processing Approach

We implement a minimal retention policy designed to maximize your privacy and security. Your documents are processed immediately and stored only for the briefest time necessary.

  • Original PDF Files: Processed immediately upon upload, automatically deleted within 24-48 hours maximum
  • Extracted Transaction Data: Available for download and format conversion for 24-48 hours, then permanently deleted
  • Processing Metadata Only: File hash, processing timestamp, accuracy score retained for analytics (no sensitive data)
  • Re-processing: Simply re-upload your document if you need additional export formats after retention period
  • Account Information: Basic profile data retained until account deletion
  • Usage/Error Logs: Anonymized logs retained for 90 days for security and service improvement
  • Payment Information: Retained as required by law and payment processors (no bank statement data)

💡 Why This Approach?

  • Minimizes data breach risk: No long-term storage of sensitive banking data
  • Reduces compliance burden: Simplifies GDPR and privacy obligations
  • Maintains user trust: Transparent about exactly what we keep and for how long
  • Flexible re-processing: Upload again anytime for different export formats

5.4 Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach affecting personal data, we will:

  • Notify relevant supervisory authorities within 72 hours (where required by law)
  • Notify affected users without undue delay if high risk to rights and freedoms
