How ArnBooks earns access to bookkeeping data

When you connect a source such as QuickBooks Online, Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, or upload a CSV or receipt file, ArnBooks reads the data needed to produce bookkeeping review notes, payout mismatch checks, source-gap lists, and close-readiness summaries.

Typical data includes transactions, payouts, account names, vendor or customer names, receipt images or PDFs, timestamps, amounts, categories, and related workspace metadata.

ArnBooks diagnostic flows are meant to show likely gaps and review items before you send the month to your accountant or make changes in your books.

• They do not replace your bookkeeper, accountant, tax advisor, CPA, or legal advisor.
• They do not make your books tax-ready, audit-proof, or compliant by themselves.
• They do not guarantee that every issue has been found.
• They do not write changes to QuickBooks from the diagnostic report flow.
• They do not move money, create payments, or file tax forms.

ArnBooks uses official provider authorization flows where available. Connected-service tokens are used to access the data you authorize and are handled server-side. ArnBooks relies on service providers for core infrastructure, including hosting, authentication, payments, database storage, AI/OCR processing, and analytics as described in the Privacy Policy.

You can disconnect source systems from ArnBooks settings where available, or from the source provider account. If a disconnect option is not visible, email us and we will help remove the connection.

ArnBooks may use AI and OCR systems to extract receipt fields, draft category suggestions, summarize review notes, and identify likely source gaps. Those outputs are suggestions for human review, not final accounting decisions.

We aim to send the minimum data required for the task and do not use customer financial data to train external foundation models. If a customer needs a stricter processing boundary, they should contact us before connecting live accounting systems.

ArnBooks keeps workspace data while your workspace is active so the product can show historical review notes and support month-end workflows. If you delete your account or request deletion, ArnBooks deletes personal data and connected-source data within 30 days, except for limited records we are required to keep, such as billing records.

To request access, correction, export, or deletion, email hello@arnbooks.ai.

ArnBooks is an early product. We do not pretend to have enterprise certifications that are not yet in place. We do use role-based application access, provider authorization flows, server-side handling for sensitive integration work, and minimal-data processing principles.

If you need a specific security review before connecting data, email us with the requirement. We will answer plainly rather than overstate the product.
