Wood Budget IPN

A private tool for one household's budget. It is not a public service and accepts no new users.

Wood Budget IPN turns bank transaction-alert emails into entries in the Wood household's own budgeting software, so purchases appear within seconds instead of days. Its only user is the owner of the Google account it reads.

Privacy policy

What it accesses. With the owner's permission, the app uses Gmail read-only access to receive notifications of new mail and to read transaction-alert emails from the owner's banks. Other messages are identified by sender only and are not read or stored.

What it stores. From each bank alert it keeps the transaction's date, amount, merchant and account, plus a copy of that alert email for troubleshooting. Everything is stored on the owner's own computer.

Sharing. No data is sold, shared with third parties, used for advertising, or used to train AI models. Nothing leaves the owner's own systems except the requests the app makes to Google to read the mail.

Google user data. The app's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Revoking access. The owner can revoke access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions; stored data can be deleted from the owner's computer at any time.
