What Data We Store and Where
Full transparency on every data category — encryption method, location, and exactly what leaves your chosen region.
| Data Category | Encryption | Stored Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| User Credentials | AES-256 | Your chosen region | Passwords hashed (bcrypt), never stored plain |
| Company Data | AES-256 | Your chosen region | All business records, ERP data, documents |
| Metric Data & Logs | Encrypted | Your chosen region | Usage analytics, audit trails, system logs |
| AI Analysis Requests | In-transit TLS | Sent to Anthropic (US) | Anonymized metric summaries only — no PII or business records |
AI features are opt-in. Disabling AI features means zero data leaves your chosen region.
