Your Data Stays Yours

Reference tables are stored inside your workbook — never on our servers. When you use AI analysis, only column metadata (names, data types, and sample values) is sent to our secure backend for processing via Azure OpenAI. Raw cell data is never transmitted. Nothing is stored after analysis completes, and your data is never used to train or improve AI models. See our privacy policy for full details.
