Free Tier vs Paid Tier: Data Usage Differences
How your data is used depends on your subscription tier:
Free Tier Users
To provide AI-powered features at no cost, we participate in model improvement programs with third-party providers like OpenAI. By using the Free Tier, you explicitly consent to the following:
- Your AI conversation inputs and financial queries may be shared with OpenAI for analytics and model training purposes
- This helps subsidize the cost of providing free AI features to you
- Account credentials, passwords, and payment information are never shared
- You can upgrade to a paid tier at any time to opt-out of this data sharing
Paid Tier Users (Pro/Lifetime)
Paid subscribers have enhanced privacy protections:
- Option to opt-out of data sharing with third-party AI providers for model training
- Your AI conversations are still processed by OpenAI to generate responses, but not used for training (when opted out)
- Enhanced data retention controls
- Priority data deletion requests
Data Security
We take the security of your financial data very seriously. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:
- Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256 encryption
- Secure Storage: Financial data is stored in secure, compliance-certified data centers
- Access Controls: Strict access controls and authentication mechanisms protect your account
- Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and penetration testing
- No Storage of Banking Credentials: We never store your bank login credentials
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
