Effective Date: 4/4/2026
1. Introduction
Vuestash, developed by Sveltify LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data across our marketing website and all versions of the Vuestash application.
Vuestash is available in three editions with different data storage models:
| Edition | URL | Data Storage |
|---|
| Desktop (Electron) | Installed locally | All data stays on your device |
| Web – Private Edition | private.vuestash.com | All data stays in your browser |
| Web – SaaS Edition | app.vuestash.com | Data synced to the cloud via Dexie Cloud |
2. What Data We Collect
Marketing Website
Our marketing website does not collect any personal data or use cookies, tracking technologies, or analytics.
Vuestash Desktop and Web – Private Edition
The Vuestash Desktop app and Web – Private Edition (`private.vuestash.com`) do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or financial information to our servers. All financial data is stored locally — on your device (Desktop) or in your browser's IndexedDB (Web – Private Edition) — and is never sent to our servers or any third party.
Vuestash Web – SaaS Edition (`app.vuestash.com`)
The SaaS Edition stores your financial data in the cloud using
Dexie Cloud, a third-party cloud database service. This enables multi-device sync and cloud backup. By using the SaaS Edition, you consent to your financial data being stored and processed by Dexie Cloud in accordance with their Privacy Policy. See Section 5 for full details.
Optional Bank Sync via Teller
The SaaS Edition includes optional bank account synchronization powered by
Teller. This feature is available only to users with a valid paid license and is entirely opt-in — you must actively connect your bank accounts to enable it. When in use, Teller securely retrieves your transaction history via their open banking API. You may disconnect your bank accounts at any time. See Section 6 for full details.
3. Payments and Licensing
Vuestash uses
PayHip as our e-commerce platform for handling payments and purchases. PayHip may utilize
Stripe or
LemonSqueezy as their payment processing partners. When you purchase a license, all payment information is processed directly by PayHip, Stripe, or LemonSqueezy.
Vuestash does not collect, process, or store your payment information.
Upon completing the purchase, PayHip/Stripe/LemonSqueezy communicates with our licensing partner
KeyGen to issue your license key, which will be sent to you via email. Minimal information necessary for order fulfillment (such as your email address) may be collected by these processors.
For more information about their respective policies, please see:
-
PayHip Privacy Policy
-
Stripe Privacy Policy
-
LemonSqueezy Privacy Policy
4. License Validation
Vuestash uses
KeyGen (https://keygen.sh/) to manage software license keys and activations. When activating your license, KeyGen may collect information such as your license key, device identifier, and activation details. Vuestash does not collect or store this data.
For more information, please refer to:
KeyGen Privacy Policy.
5. Dexie Cloud – Cloud Data Storage (SaaS Edition)
The SaaS Edition uses
Dexie Cloud (provided by Awarica AB) to store and synchronize your financial data across devices. By using the SaaS Edition, you agree to Dexie Cloud's data processing terms.
Data stored in Dexie Cloud includes the financial records you enter into Vuestash (transactions, accounts, categories, budgets, and related items). Data is associated with your user identity within the Dexie Cloud service.
For more information, please refer to:
Dexie Cloud Privacy Policy.
6. Teller – Bank Account Sync (SaaS Edition, Optional)
The SaaS Edition includes optional bank account synchronization powered by
Teller (Teller Inc.). This feature requires a valid paid license and must be explicitly activated by you. Teller connects to your bank using industry-standard open banking protocols.
When you use Teller bank sync:
- Your bank credentials are authenticated directly with your bank via Teller's secure infrastructure and are not stored by Vuestash.
- Teller may store access tokens and transaction data as required to provide the sync service.
- Sync requests are proxied through a Vuestash Cloudflare Worker to protect our API credentials; your banking data is not logged by this proxy.
You can revoke Teller's access and disconnect your bank accounts at any time through the Vuestash app settings.
For more information, please refer to:
Teller Privacy Policy.
