Balnesto helps people track money they share. We try to collect as little as possible and to never do anything sketchy with it. Here's the plain version.
What we store
- Account holders: your name, email, and a securely hashed password (we never store the password itself).
- Accountless participants: only the display name typed when joining by link — no email, no password.
- Group data: the groups, expenses, splits, and settlements you create.
What we don't do
- No ads, and no selling or sharing your data with advertisers or data brokers.
- No tracking you across other websites.
- No reading or moving your actual money — settlements are tracked, not executed.
Cookies
We use a session cookie to keep you logged in, and a per-group cookie to remember accountless guests. That's it — no advertising or analytics cookies.
Your control
You can change your name and password, and delete your account, from your account settings. Deleting your account removes your login; your past entries remain in shared groups as a name-only record so other people's balances stay correct.
Questions? This is a small project — reach out and a real person will answer.
