Account watches and savings tools

When you save an account watch, we store your chosen public savings account, illustrative comparison balance, APY threshold, notification choices and email-consent date with your reader account. We do not connect to your bank or collect account numbers, credentials or transactions. Watch email uses your verified primary email address and our existing transactional mail provider, Postmark. Newsletter preferences remain separate.

You can export your watch settings, remove individual watches or stop watch email from your watchlist. Emails also include a stop-email link. An email already being sent may still arrive. We retain watch events and completed delivery records for up to 90 days; removing a watch deletes its events, and deleting your reader account removes its watch settings and application delivery records. Existing backup, support-case and email-provider retention rules in this notice also apply to these copies; Postmark retains message content and activity for 45 days and keeps suppression records separately.

Calculator and account-finder form inputs are used to return your results and are not saved as a personal plan. These tools and private watchlist pages do not collect site analytics. The savings checklist stores its checked steps and reminder date only in this browser. Clear it with its reset button or your browser’s site-data controls. It does not send reminders or sync between devices.
