The following is a list of personal financial management software. Open source software is one way of potentially minimizing the risks of privacy and monetization related risks of data exposure. An often overlooked form of risk is due to the monetization model and privacy practices of the vendor or software provider, whether the application is 'free' or fee based. This risk may be compounded based on the security the software vendor has implemented as well as the availability of the data and where specifically it is stored (online or a local application).
