Information We Collect

When you use ShineUp Bright's budgeting platform, we collect several types of information to provide you with personalized financial guidance. This includes basic account information like your name, email address, and business details when you sign up for our services.

We also gather financial data that you choose to share with us - things like income streams, business expenses, and spending categories. This information helps us create tailored budgeting recommendations for your entrepreneurial journey.

How We Use Your Data

Your information serves specific purposes that directly benefit your experience with our budgeting tools. We use your data to create personalized financial insights, send you relevant updates about your budgeting progress, and improve our services based on how entrepreneurs actually use our platform.

We never sell your personal information to third parties. Your financial data stays within our system unless you specifically authorize us to share it with integrated accounting tools or financial institutions you've connected to our platform.

Your Rights and Control

You have substantial control over your personal information in our system. At any time, you can access your data, request corrections to inaccurate information, or ask us to delete your account entirely.

If you want to review what information we have about you, simply email our support team at support@shineup-bright.com. We'll provide you with a comprehensive overview within seven business days.

Data Security and Storage

We take security seriously because we understand how sensitive financial information can be. Our platform uses industry-standard encryption both when your data travels to our servers and while it's stored in our databases.

Your information is stored on secure servers located in South Korea, and we maintain regular backups to prevent data loss. Our technical team monitors for unusual access patterns and maintains strict access controls - only authorized personnel can view your information, and only when necessary for providing support or improving our services.

We keep your data for as long as your account remains active. If you close your account, we'll delete your personal information within 90 days, though we may retain anonymized usage patterns to help improve our services for other users.

Third-Party Integrations

Sometimes our budgeting tools work better when connected to other financial services you're already using. When you choose to integrate with banking APIs, accounting software, or payment processors, we share only the minimum information necessary to provide those connections.

These integrations are always optional, and you control which services get access to your data. We carefully vet our integration partners to ensure they meet similar privacy standards, but we recommend reviewing their privacy policies as well since they operate independently from ShineUp Bright.
