This Privacy Policy explains what information The Automated Biz ("we") collects, how we use it, and your choices. It is a starter template, not legal advice.
Account info: your name and email when you sign up.
Business data you provide: sales, expenses, invoices, bank/card statements, inventory, payroll totals, and supplier information you enter or upload.
Usage info: basic technical data needed to run and secure the app.
We use your data solely to provide the Service — to store your records, generate your reports, categorize transactions, and produce price comparisons. We do not sell your data. We do not share your business data with other users.
To read invoices and statements and to categorize transactions, we send the relevant document or text to a third-party AI provider (Anthropic) strictly to perform that task and return the result to you. We send only what's needed to perform the requested feature. We do not use your data to train AI models.
We use trusted providers to operate: Supabase (secure database & login), Vercel (hosting), Anthropic (AI document reading), and the U.S. BLS public data API (no personal data sent). Each processes data only to provide their service to us.
Your data is isolated to your account using database row-level security, so other users cannot see it. API keys and secrets are kept server-side, never exposed in the browser. No method of storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
We keep your data while your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data by emailing us; we will delete it within a reasonable period, except where we must retain it by law.
You can access, correct, or delete data you've entered directly in the app, or contact us for help. Depending on where you live (e.g. California/CCPA, EU/GDPR), you may have additional rights — contact us to exercise them.
The Service is for businesses and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
We may update this Policy; we'll post the new date above. Continued use after changes means you accept the update.
