Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026
- The waitlist asks for your email, plus two optional questions. That's all.
- We use it only to tell you about SkipJar's launch and, now and then, to ask a short survey question.
- We don't sell or share your information, and we don't use ad trackers, analytics or cookies on this site.
- The app keeps your data on your device. There are no bank connections.
- Want off the list or want your data deleted? Email skipjar.app@gmail.com.
Who we are
SkipJar is operated by its founder, an individual based in New York, USA ("we", "us"). This policy covers this website (the landing page and waitlist) and the SkipJar app.
What we collect on the waitlist
When you join the waitlist, the form sends exactly these fields:
| Field | Required? | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | Your email address, so we can contact you about the launch. | |
| "Where does your money leak most?" | Optional | One choice from a list (e.g. coffee & drinks, delivery apps). Helps us decide what to build first. |
| "Would you pay $24.99/yr for Pro?" | Optional | Yes / Maybe at a lower price / Only the free version. Helps us set pricing. |
The form also contains two technical fields that don't hold personal information: a hidden form label (form-name) and a hidden spam trap (bot-field) that real people leave empty.
Like any website, our host also receives standard technical data when you visit or submit the form, such as your IP address, browser type and the time of the request. This is used to deliver the site and filter spam (see below). We don't use it to identify or profile you.
Cookies and analytics
This website doesn't set cookies, doesn't run analytics or advertising scripts, and doesn't load third-party trackers. If that ever changes, we'll update this policy first.
Who processes your data
The site and waitlist form are hosted by Netlify, Inc. (USA). Netlify stores form submissions on our behalf as a service provider, and runs automated spam filtering on them using Akismet (operated by Automattic). See Netlify's privacy policy and Automattic's privacy policy. We may also use an email service to send launch updates. If we do, we'll name it here before we start.
How we use it
- To email you when SkipJar launches, plus occasional product updates about SkipJar.
- To send an occasional short survey (always optional).
- To understand interest and pricing, using the optional answers, usually as totals.
We will not sell, rent or trade your information, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone except the service providers above (and if the law requires it).
How long we keep it
We keep waitlist data until you ask us to delete it, or until 12 months after SkipJar launches, whichever comes first. If we decide not to launch, we'll delete the list. Every email we send will include a way to unsubscribe.
The SkipJar app
- The app stores your checks, budgets, goal and settings only on your device (in your browser's local storage, or the app's storage on your phone).
- It doesn't ask for a bank login and doesn't connect to any bank or card account.
- The current version has no account and doesn't send your entries to us. We can't see them.
- You can export or delete everything from the app's Settings, or by clearing the site or app data on your device.
- If a future version adds paid plans, payments will be handled by Apple's App Store or Google Play, and we won't receive your card details. We'll update this policy before any change to how app data is handled.
Your choices and rights
Whatever state or country you live in, you can ask us to:
- see the information we hold about you,
- correct it,
- delete it, or
- stop emailing you (unsubscribe link, or email us).
Email skipjar.app@gmail.com and we'll respond within 30 days. We may need to confirm the request came from your email address. We won't treat you differently for using these rights.
California and other US state privacy laws
Some state laws, like California's CCPA, give residents rights to know, delete and correct personal information, and to opt out of its "sale" or "sharing". We don't sell or share personal information as those laws define it, and we don't use it for targeted advertising. The rights above are available to everyone, whether or not a particular law applies to us.
If you're in the UK or EU
- We process your waitlist data based on your consent, which you give by joining. You can withdraw it any time by unsubscribing or emailing us.
- You have the rights described above, plus the right to receive your data in a portable format and to complain to your local data protection authority.
- Your data is stored in the United States by our host.
Children
SkipJar isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has joined the waitlist, email us and we'll delete it.
Security
We collect as little as we can, keep it with reputable providers, and limit who can access it. No method of storing or sending data is perfectly secure, but we'll tell you promptly if a problem ever affects your information.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll also email the waitlist before it takes effect.
