Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

With Service Providers: We share information with third-party vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, payment processing, and data analytics. These service providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and are only permitted to use your information as necessary to perform their services.

For Legal Purposes: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities, such as a court or government agency.

Third-party Services We Use

In order to provide you with the Climb Budget service, we work with several trusted third-party providers to manage different aspects of our operations. These providers help us with essential functions such as payment processing, hosting, and data storage. Below is an explanation of how these third-party services are involved and how they may handle your information.

Each third-party provider we work with is carefully selected for their compliance with industry standards and their commitment to safeguarding your data. These providers may collect and process personal information on our behalf, but only to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide. We do not sell or share your personal data with these providers for any purposes other than those related to the operation of Climb Budget.

Paddle

We use Paddle as our payment processor for managing subscription payments. Paddle is responsible for securely processing all billing transactions for Climb Budget. This includes handling the processing of subscription payments, managing refunds, and resolving any payment-related issues. When you subscribe to Climb Budget, Paddle collects personal and financial information necessary to process your payment, such as your name, email address, and payment details (e.g., credit card information). Paddle uses this information solely for the purpose of processing payments on behalf of Climb Budget. Paddle is a fully PCI-compliant service provider, meaning they adhere to the highest industry standards for payment security.

Why Paddle is Necessary

Paddle is essential to Climb Budget’s operations because we do not directly handle payment processing. Using Paddle ensures that your transactions are secure and that we comply with global standards for payment processing. All transactions made through Climb Budget will appear on your bank or card statements as PADDLE.NET*CLIMBBUDGE.

Supabase

We use Supabase to manage and store the data associated with your Climb Budget account. Supabase provides database and authentication services, allowing us to securely store and retrieve your personal data, including any financial information you input into the service. Supabase may collect and store personal data on our behalf to ensure the smooth operation of Climb Budget. This data includes, but is not limited to, your account information, budget data, and any other inputs you make into the app. Supabase is responsible for safeguarding this data and ensuring its accessibility for your use within the service.

Why Supabase is Necessary

Supabase is a critical component of Climb Budget, as it handles the secure storage and management of all the data related to your account. Without Supabase, we would not be able to reliably store or retrieve your information for you to use the service. Supabase adheres to modern security standards and practices to ensure your data is protected and remains confidential.

Vercel may collect and process certain data automatically, such as IP addresses, browser types, and usage data, to help us monitor and improve the performance and reliability of the service. However, Vercel does not have access to your personal or financial data stored within the Climb Budget app, as that data is managed separately.

Why Vercel is Necessary

Vercel is essential for hosting and maintaining the Climb Budget website, ensuring that it is available for users to access at all times. Their infrastructure helps us provide a fast, reliable, and scalable service that works across different devices and locations.
