- Online financial software usually provides the highest level of data security, as provided by online banks and other financial institutions.
- Online personal finance software providers encrypt your data so no one can see it, even those working on the provider's computers.
- Reliable online financial software provide security with a firewall which filters network traffic to stop malicious attacks over the Internet to add another layer of protection for your data.
Tip: Before using online financial software, look for a privacy or security statement on the website, usually found at the bottom of the web page or in the "About Us" section of the site. If you do not find a published security statement, contact the provider to request a copy of the statement.
