Privacy and security

Household finances can be shared. Your personal details don't have to be.

FamiDeck helps you manage family finances together while preserving a personal space. Individual accounts, private accounts and encrypted financial data support family sharing.

Belonging to a family does not automatically grant access to other people's personal details.

Shared vs private

Together for household expenses.
A space for what's yours.

Shared and private accounts serve different purposes. FamiDeck keeps them separate even within the same family space.

What you share

Shared accounts and transactions let the family follow its common finances. Information updates on members' devices according to their permissions.

What stays personal

Private account details remain confidential to the owner. An account may be identifiable as existing without showing its balance or other personal details.

The ADMIN's role

Managing the family doesn't mean seeing everything.

The ADMIN manages the family space and access. This role does not automatically grant access to other members' private details.

Can manage

Family members, invitations, device authorization and shared information they have permission to access.

Cannot automatically see

Every member's privacy is respected.

Whoever manages the family can organize shared information but cannot access the balances or private details of other members' personal accounts. Everyone keeps a private space while sharing an overview of family finances.

Accounts and devices

Every member has their own sign-in.

You can sign in with email and password or with Google. Joining the family and authorizing a device are part of accessing the shared space.

Every member also creates and keeps their own personal recovery key.

End-to-end encryption

Cloud syncs.
Financial data stays encrypted.

Synchronized financial data is encrypted on the device before it reaches the Cloud. The Cloud does not store financial content in plain text.

On your device

Financial data is encrypted.

In the Cloud

Encrypted content is synchronized without unencrypted financial data.

On authorized devices

Data is readable according to each member's permissions.

Syncing encrypted data preserves the distinction between shared and private information.

Recovery Key

Your recovery key
is yours to keep safe.

A Recovery Key is sensitive information. It differs from your password: changing or recovering a password does not replace or change the recovery key.

Personal key

Every member manages their own PERSONAL RECOVERY KEY and must store it securely. An ordinary member receives only their personal key, not the family's recovery key or recovery code.

The ADMIN's family key

The ADMIN may also have a FAMILY RECOVERY KEY, separate from their personal key. The two keys are for different purposes: personal and family recovery.

The family key does not automatically grant access to other members' private account details.

Never send passwords, Recovery Keys or recovery codes to FamiDeck Support.

Support must never ask you to send your recovery key. Do not show it in emails or screenshots.

Offline use · Local-first

Keep going even without internet.

FamiDeck works on your device first: you can use available data and save transactions even when temporarily offline.

While offline, changes cannot be shared with other devices. Once you reconnect, FamiDeck can sync them with the family space.

Temporarily offline

Use available data and save on your device.

Back online

Changes can sync with your family.

When devices are online, shared information updates in near real time. Private transactions follow their owner's privacy rules.

Removing a member

Access ends.
Shared history remains.

When a member is removed, their access to the family's Cloud space is revoked. They no longer have access to family data.

Access revoked

The removed member can no longer access the family's Cloud space.

Shared family history retained

Previously shared history stays with the family. It is separate from the member's personal data.

Future activities disabled

Future activities and recurring transactions associated with the member are disabled where applicable.

Removing a member does not reveal their private data to the family.

Exporting data

Your data, beyond FamiDeck.

You can export data you have access to in CSV or Excel format. Exports respect your permissions and do not give you another member's private data.

Exporting data does not automatically restore it to FamiDeck: an exported file does not replace the recovery process.

Export according to your permissions
