Data Storage and Processing
Your information is stored on MongoDB Atlas servers located in Northern Virginia, USA. Our backend processing servers are hosted on Akamai infrastructure in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This means your data is stored and processed within the United States.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including encryption, secure hosting, and regular security assessments. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
AI Technology and Data Processing
Genie uses AI technology powered by OpenAI to provide intelligent features. When you use our AI-powered features:
- Text entered by you, including accounting data, may be processed through OpenAI's services
- We do not send personal information to OpenAI, only the text content required for analysis
- Financial and accounting data is processed while excluding personally identifiable information
- Our service utilizes AI for various tasks. While we continually work to improve our AI systems, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy. Users should use the AI-generated results with caution and are responsible for verifying important information
We strongly recommend that you avoid entering the following types of personally identifiable information when interacting with our AI features:
- Social Security numbers or tax identification numbers
- Full credit card numbers
- Bank account details
- Passwords or security credentials
- Home addresses
- Birth dates
- Driver's license numbers
- Passport information
- Healthcare identification numbers
- Names of minors or family members
Instead, use generic descriptions or partial information when discussing financial matters with our AI features. For example, refer to "my primary bank account" rather than providing the actual account number.
If an automated decision made by our AI affects financial reporting or bookkeeping results, users have the right to request human intervention and review.

- Third-party service providers who assist us in operating our application
