Security & Privacy

Your data is protected at every step

Tax documents contain some of the most sensitive information you have. We built our security architecture to treat it accordingly: anonymization, encryption, and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

Anonymization Pipeline

How we protect your personal information

Before any data reaches our AI model, it passes through a security layer that identifies and separates personally identifiable information. This ensures your sensitive details never touch our reasoning engine.

01

Document Ingestion

Your documents enter our secure processing environment. All uploads are encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3.

02

PII Detection

A dedicated security layer scans document content and structure to identify personally identifiable information based on both content patterns and location context.

03

Data Separation

Identified PII is separated from the document content. Only the information necessary for tax preparation (figures, categories, and relationships) is passed to our AI model.

04

AI Processing

Our reasoning model analyzes the anonymized data to evaluate filing strategies, apply IRS rules, and identify the best defensible path. No PII touches the model.

05

Reassembly

Once processing is complete, the separated PII is reintegrated to produce a complete, submittable return. The final document is encrypted and stored securely.

Result: Your AI-powered tax return is prepared without your personal information ever touching the model.

Infrastructure Security

Enterprise-grade infrastructure

Beyond anonymization, your data is protected by multiple layers of security across our entire infrastructure, from transmission to storage to IRS submission.

AWS Infrastructure

Hosted on Amazon Web Services with enterprise-grade security controls, redundancy, and high availability across multiple availability zones.

Encryption at Rest

All stored data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption. Encryption keys are managed through AWS Key Management Service (KMS) with automatic rotation.

Encryption in Transit

All data transmitted between your browser and our servers, and between our systems and the IRS, is protected by TLS 1.3 encryption.

Access Controls

Role-based access controls ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive systems. All access is logged and auditable.

Security is not an afterthought

Our security posture extends beyond technology to include operational practices, personnel training, and continuous monitoring. We treat your tax data with the same care a partner at a top accounting firm would expect.
