Security

Your practice holds your clients' plans, numbers and mail. Here is how it's kept, in plain English.

Sealed practices

Every row in the database belongs to one practice, and every query goes through one layer that scopes it to yours. It isn't left to each screen to remember. As the platform owner, we can't see inside a practice either.

Roles and permission levels

Practice owner, associate and assistant on your side, each seeing only what their role allows; assistants never see financials or settings. On the client side, each client sees only their own company, and their team members get one of five permission levels: viewer, member, manager, senior leadership or client owner.

Encrypted tokens

Your Claude key and every Google, Microsoft, bank and processor connection are encrypted in the database and never shown again in full. Sign-in links and signing links are masked in the logs.

Nightly backups

The whole database is backed up every night to separate storage, and every release that changes the database waits for that day's backup first.

Passwordless portal links

Clients sign in with a link sent to their own email, so there are no client passwords to reuse or leak. Your team signs in with Google or Microsoft.

Where data lives

The app and its database run on Railway in the United States. Files and backups are kept in Google Cloud Storage.

Nothing sent without you

Mail to clients waits in your sending queue until a person approves it, and anything the AI drafts is a proposal until someone accepts it.

Your money stays yours

Client payments go through your own merchant account. Bank feeds come through Plaid; your bank sign-in never reaches us.

Settings, Email mailboxes: a client's mailbox, a billing address on Microsoft 365 and a shared info@ address, each with send-as and reply collection.

What a connected Google account is used for

Each permission is asked for separately, only when you turn on the feature that needs it, and you can disconnect at any time in the app or in your Google account.

Sign in
Your name and email address, to sign you in. openid, email, profile
Send approved mail
Sends mail from your own address, only after a person approves each message, or when a client asks for a sign-in link. gmail.send
Confirm your sending address

Read replies and file client mail, when switched on
