What personal data does Don’t Guess Software Inc. collect?
Don’t Guess Software Inc. collects no personal data from you.
Our PlanButVerify Personal Financial Planner – Individual software product collects the financial information, which need not identify you (see ‘How we protect your data’ below) into a database that remains on your device, and it never leaves unless you choose to share data via your email or backup your data to the Cloud. At your discretion, your data can be encrypted on your device. The default for encryption is Off. If you choose to encrypt, you create a password only you will know. If you forget that password, your data is effectively lost. No one can recover it, including us.
You can backup your data either on a chosen location on your device, or off-device (encryption recommended), such as to the Cloud. Recovery of the data snapshot you captured can be done, and if encryption has been used, your password will be necessary. You can choose to have the reporting outputs (personal net worth summaries, balance sheets, and income statements) written to your device in a location you choose. Be aware that the reports are PDF files and are open text, as a prime motivation for printing out reports is to email them to trusted individuals.
PlanButVerify Personal Financial Planner – Individual does not contain any ads, tracking or analytics. It is intended for use by adults, and is not directed at children.

How we protect your data
The PlanButVerify Personal Financial Planner – Individual software product collects an array of information necessary for it to perform its mission. That data is held in a database on your device. This information is protected in three ways:
- The software and its associated database is located solely on your computer or device. The software makes no use of the internet or external storage (excepting your own elective use of email or external storage, such as Cloud).
- None of the data that is entered into PlanButVerify Personal Financial Planner needs to be your truly identifying data (such as names and housing information. Social Security Numbers, bank or investment account numbers not collected and have no place in the database. Users are encouraged to use nicknames and similar techniques to prevent losing control of your privacy even if your device and password is stolen. Enter whatever data you like when you feel a data item might be identifying as long as you keep track of the meanings.
- In the event you wish to remove PlanButVerify Personal Financial Planner – Individual from your device, the database containing all of your entered data is also removed permanently.
Our website uses the secure https protocol, and uses encryption in all communication.
