Privacy Policy

Last updated 2 August 2026.

This covers Fuime's pre-launch beta

Fuime is not yet handling real money. Payments and cards run against Stripe's test mode, so no real funds move through the platform. This policy describes what Fuime collects today. Before Fuime handles real money it will be replaced by a policy reviewed by a lawyer, and you will be told before that happens.

Who we are

Fuime is a financial record-keeping platform for businesses run by teenagers aged 13 to 17, with a parent or legal guardian on the account. When this policy says “we” it means Fuime; “you” means anyone with a Fuime account, whether a teen or a guardian.

Fuime is 13+

You must be at least 13 years old to hold a Fuime account. We ask for a date of birth during signup and refuse to create an account for anyone under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from a child under 13. If we learn that we have, we delete it. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, email support@fuime.com and we will remove it.

What we collect

From everyone with an account:

Your name, email address, and date of birth.
Security and sign-in information: IP address, browser user agent, login times, and any two-factor or security-key credentials you register.

From a teen running a business:

Business details you enter — name, category, description, storefront text.
Transaction records, balances, receipts you upload, and comments you write on the ledger.

From a parent or guardian:

Your name, email address, and date of birth.
A record of your consent: the date and time you accepted the guardian agreement, the version of the agreement you accepted, your IP address, and your browser user agent. This is what makes your consent auditable, and we keep it for as long as the guardianship exists.

Why we collect it

To run your account and keep it secure.
To enforce the guardian requirement — a teen cannot operate a business on Fuime without an active guardian, and we need dates of birth to know who that rule applies to.
To keep the books for the business and produce tax summaries.
To send email you need: sign-in codes, notifications, and receipts.

We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it to train machine-learning models.

Who else sees it

A guardian sees everything about the businesses they sign for. That is the point of the product and a teen cannot switch it off.

We also use these companies to run Fuime, and they process data on our behalf:

Stripe — payments and card issuing. Currently test mode only.
Amazon Web Services (S3) — storage for receipts and uploaded files.
Render — application hosting and the database.
Resend — outbound email.

We will also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety.

If you make your business public

A business can publish a storefront page. When it is public, anyone on the internet can see the business name, its description, and its transaction history. We deliberately do not publish the account balance, and we do not publish the owner's name when the owner is a minor. Publishing is off unless someone turns it on, and we recommend a guardian be part of that decision.

How long we keep it

Account information: as long as the account is open.
Financial records and receipts: seven years, because that is the period tax records generally need to be kept for. This applies even after an account closes.
Everything else: deleted on request, unless we are required to keep it.

Your rights, and a parent's rights

A parent or guardian on an account may:

Review everything Fuime holds about their teen.
Withdraw consent, which stops the teen operating a business on Fuime.
Request that we delete their teen's information.
Request an export of the business's records.

Email support@fuime.com to make any of these requests. Some of them are not yet self-serve in the product; we handle them by hand in the meantime, and we do not charge for them.

Security

Sensitive fields are encrypted at rest. You can protect your account with two-factor authentication or a security key from your security settings. If you find a vulnerability, please tell us — see our security page.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. If a change materially affects what we do with your information, we will email you.
