AI processing
Kit uses artificial intelligence to categorise transactions and answer questions about your financial data. When you use the "Ask Kit" feature, your financial summary data is sent to our AI provider's API to generate a response.
Important: Your individual transaction data is not used to train AI models. Our API providers' terms confirm that data sent via the API is not used for model training.
The AI processes your data in real time to generate responses and does not retain your data after the response is generated.

All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256 encryption.
Your data is stored on infrastructure that maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance. Servers are located in the EU/UK region.
