Draft for legal review. These pages were prepared to make our policies transparent and easy to find. They have not yet been approved by a South African attorney or compliance professional, and the business does not claim to be legally compliant merely because these pages exist. Wording, company details and regulatory positioning must be reviewed and approved before launch.

1. What we use

The Lifestyle Calculator uses automated calculations and, where applicable, AI-assisted document recognition and categorisation.

When you upload a photograph, screenshot or PDF, the document is sent to an AI document-reading service that extracts transaction lines. Spreadsheets are read in your browser and classified with a combination of local merchant rules and AI.

2. What this means for you

  • AI can make mistakes: amounts, dates, merchants and categories may be read or classified incorrectly.
  • Every imported transaction must be reviewed by you on the review screen before it is saved.
  • Categorisations are suggestions, not decisions. You can change the type, the category and the amount.
  • Multi-month statements are averaged over the period and once-off or unusual items are flagged for your decision — those estimates are still estimates.
  • You remain responsible for confirming that the imported information is correct.
  • All calculations depend on the information supplied; projections are estimates.

3. No automated decision-making about you

We do not use automated processing to make a decision about credit, employment, insurance or any other matter that has a legal effect on you. The calculator produces educational information for your own use.
