Who Are We
Reality is a Service provided by Simple, Easy IT Pty Ltd (ACN 620332818) designed to help you record and prioritise your dreams and visualize where you spend your money. This information is aggregated in a way to help identify where more money can be potentially saved and when dreams can be realistically achieved. We do this by allowing you to connect to your financial institutions and aggregate and categorise your spending.
​
To provide this service and to ensure we can continually make this service even more useful, we record the minimal amount of information about you. This Policy outlines what we record about you, how we use it, how we keep it safe and how you can access, change or remove it. If you have any questions at all, please get in touch with us at reality@realityapplication.com

How we Collect the Information
User Information
User Information
We collect user information when you register through the user interface of the Reality Service. Early interest email addresses are collected from our landing page through a simple registration form. This is a user opt in process only.
Financial Information
When you connect your accounts in Reality, we use secure market leading third party-service providers (Yodlee). They use your account credentials (username/account number and password) to log in to your financial provider(s) and read (this is only ever a read only process) transaction information and store this in their secure servers. This process is the same as you logging directly into your financial provider's site, the service provider provides a ‘skin’ on your normal financial institutions log in page to make the service consistent across multiple financial providers. Your credentials are saved and managed by Yodlee to provide the financial management features of Reality.
The third-party service providers we choose have comprehensive programs for security, privacy, risk, and compliance. These programs adhere to financial industry standards and are overseen by an independent dedicated team of security and risk practitioners to ensure your information is as safe as possible
