Trust Bullets

• Your data stays on your device by default
• No bank or brokerage account linking required
• Optional encrypted sync for cross-device access
• Serious planning tools: taxes, Monte Carlo, Roth conversions

Messaging Rules

Lead With Capability

The user is still shopping for outcomes, not architecture. Lead with:

• Serious retirement planning
• Tax and Roth modeling
• Monte Carlo and scenario testing

Then reinforce with privacy:

• Your data stays yours
• No account linking
• Optional encrypted sync

Avoid Weak Positioning

Avoid making the campaign sound like:

• A generic budgeting app
• A cybersecurity product
• A privacy tool without planning depth

This campaign should feel like a serious planning tool that also happens to respect user privacy.

Best Uses Across Existing Campaigns

Privacy should also appear as a supporting line in other campaigns:

Roth Conversion Campaign

Add lines like:

• Your Data Stays Local
• No Account Linking

TCJA / Tax Law Campaign

Add lines like:

• Private By Default
• Update Laws Yourself

Advisor Alternative Campaign

Add lines like:

• Your Data Stays Private
• Keep Control Of Your Plan

Testing Priorities

Test these message angles against each other:

Angle A: Privacy First

• Private Retirement Planning
• Your Data Stays On Your Device
• No Account Linking Required

Angle B: Capability First

• Serious Retirement Planning
• Roth, Taxes, Monte Carlo
• Private By Default

Angle C: Ownership / Control

• Keep Your Financial Data Yours
• One-Time Price, No Subscription
• No Account Linking Required

My expectation is that Capability First or Ownership / Control will outperform a pure privacy angle for most searchers.
