Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 29, 2026

1. Introduction

BillAxe ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use BillAxe at billaxe.app.

By using BillAxe you agree to the collection and use of information described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

a) Account Information

When you create an account we collect your email address, password (stored as a secure hash — never plaintext), and optionally your phone number for SMS notifications.

b) Financial Data via Plaid

BillAxe uses Plaid Technologies Inc. to connect to your bank accounts. When you link a bank account we receive:

We do NOT receive or store your bank login credentials, Social Security number, or full account numbers. Plaid handles all bank authentication directly.

c) Email Data

If you choose to connect your email account (Microsoft Outlook via OAuth or any IMAP-compatible email provider), BillAxe scans your inbox for bill-related emails to detect subscriptions and recurring charges. Email credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. We only read emails — we never send emails on your behalf or store full email content beyond what is needed to identify bills.

d) Social Media Tokens

If you connect your TikTok or YouTube account, BillAxe stores your OAuth access token and refresh token encrypted in our database. These tokens are used solely to post content you explicitly approve. You can disconnect your social accounts at any time from the Settings page.

e) Subscription and Usage Data

We analyze your transaction and email data to detect recurring subscriptions, identify potential tax deductions, and surface savings opportunities. This analysis is performed automatically using AI.

f) Payment Information

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number, CVV, or full payment details. Stripe handles all payment data under their own PCI-DSS compliance.

g) Usage Data

We collect standard usage data including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on pages to improve the service. We also collect UTM parameters to understand how users discover BillAxe.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

We do NOT sell your personal information or financial data to third parties. Ever.

4. How We Store and Protect Your Data

a) Encryption

All Plaid access tokens, email credentials, and social media OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption before being stored in our database. All data is transmitted over TLS 1.2 or higher at all times.

b) Database Security

Our database uses Row Level Security (RLS) — meaning each user can only ever access their own data. No BillAxe user can see another user's data.

c) Access Controls

Access to production data is restricted to authorized personnel only. All API endpoints require authentication tokens.

5. Data Sharing

We share your data only with the following trusted service providers who are bound by their own privacy policies:

We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third parties.

6. SMS Messaging

If you provide your phone number and opt in to SMS notifications, BillAxe will send you transactional messages including bill negotiation results, savings confirmations, subscription cancellation updates, and content approval requests.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account we will delete all your personal data and financial data within 30 days. Transaction data retrieved via Plaid is retained only as long as needed to provide the service. Email credentials and social media tokens are deleted immediately upon disconnection.

8. Your Rights

a) Access

You can view all data BillAxe holds about you by logging into your dashboard.

b) Deletion
