Cookie Policy of Conspicuous
  This document informs Users about the technologies that help this Application to achieve the purposes described below. Such technologies allow the Owner to access and store information (for example by using a Cookie) or use resources (for example by running a script) on a User’s device as they interact with this Application.
  For simplicity, all such technologies are defined as "Trackers" within this document – unless there is a reason to differentiate.
  For example, while Cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile apps as they are a browser-based Tracker. For this reason, within this document, the term Cookies is only used where it is specifically meant to indicate that particular type of Tracker.
Some of the purposes for which Trackers are used may also require the User's consent, depending on the applicable law. Whenever consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time following the instructions provided in this document.
  This Application uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called “first-party” Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by a third-party (so-called “third-party” Trackers). Unless otherwise specified within this document, third-party providers may access the Trackers managed by them.
The validity and expiration periods of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by the Owner or the relevant provider. Some of them expire upon termination of the User’s browsing session.
In addition to what’s specified in the descriptions within each of the categories below, Users may find more precise and updated information regarding lifetime specification as well as any other relevant information — such as the presence of other Trackers — in the linked privacy policies of the respective third-party providers or by contacting the Owner.

            This Application connects to users’ financial accounts through Plaid Inc. (“Plaid”) to retrieve read-only financial information. When a user links an account, Plaid provides the Owner with transaction and balance data such as merchant name, transaction amount, date, and category, as well as non-sensitive account identifiers (e.g., financial institution name and last four digits). The Owner does not receive or store bank login credentials. A short-lived public token is exchanged server-side for an access token, which is stored encrypted (AES-256) and used solely to refresh user-authorized data. For more information, see Plaid’s privacy policy at https://plaid.com/legal/

              Public Display of User-Selected Financial Data (Leaderboards and Profiles)
            
          
          
            Certain features of this Application (e.g., leaderboards, rankings, match results, public profiles) display information that a user has chosen to make public. Users select a handle (display name) and may opt to display financial outcomes derived from their linked accounts (for example, total spend, rank/position, badges, or summaries) in a pseudonymous or identified manner according to their profile settings. Underlying bank credentials, full account numbers, and raw transaction identifiers are never displayed.
Users can change visibility preferences or withdraw from public displays at any time in the Application settings. Where a user withdraws, future public display ceases; previously published items may remain visible for audit, community integrity, or legal compliance, consistent with this policy.
            
           
         
       
  
  
  
    How to manage preferences and provide or withdraw consent on this Application
  
  
      Whenever the use of Trackers is based on consent, users can provide or withdraw such consent by setting or updating their preferences via the relevant privacy choices panel available on this Application.
  
    With regard to any third-party Trackers, Users can manage their preferences via the related opt-out link (where provided), by using the means indicated in the third party's privacy policy, or by contacting the third party.
  How to control or delete Cookies and similar technologies via your device settings
   Users may use their own browser settings to:
  - See what Cookies or other similar technologies have been set on the device;
 
  - Block Cookies or similar technologies;
 
  - Clear Cookies or similar technologies from the browser.
 
The browser settings, however, do not allow granular control of consent by category.
  Users can, for example, find information about how to manage Cookies in the most commonly used browsers at the following addresses:
Users may also manage certain categories of Trackers used on mobile apps by opting out through relevant device settings such as the device advertising settings for mobile devices, or tracking settings in general (Users may open the device settings and look for the relevant setting).
    How to opt out of interest-based advertising
    Notwithstanding the above, Users may follow the instructions provided by YourOnlineChoices (EU and UK), the Network Advertising Initiative (US) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (US), DAAC (Canada), DDAI (Japan) or other similar services. Such initiatives allow Users to select their tracking preferences for most of the advertising tools. The Owner thus recommends that Users make use of these resources in addition to the information provided in this document.
The Digital Advertising Alliance offers an application called AppChoices that helps Users to control interest-based advertising on mobile apps.
  Consequences of denying the use of Trackers
  Users are free to decide whether or not to allow the use of Trackers. However, please note that Trackers help this Application to provide a better experience and advanced functionalities to Users (in line with the purposes outlined in this document). Therefore, if the User chooses to block the use of Trackers, the Owner may be unable to provide related features.
